The main purpose of the research was to identify factors determining spatial diversity of the activity of farmers in the area of the implementation of agricultural and environmental programs. The research was conducted using Statistica with the application of two research tools: the analysis of Correlation and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis. The number of beneficiaries of the agricultural and environmental programs per 100 area payments’ beneficiaries in a given territorial unit was adopted as a dependent variable. Based on the research, it was found that features of the agrarian structure had the greatest impact on the diversity of the dependent variable within the Małopolska and Pogórze regions. In poviats, characterized by high fragmentation of farms, the farmers’ agricultural and environmental activities were determined by the scale of nature protection area and unemployment rate. Moreover, agricultural and environmental programs were statistically implemented more often at locations where other forms of support were taken advantage of, e.g. support for young farmers.
