Structural Equation Modeling in Reserch of Sustainable Agriculture

The aim of the work and our study is to determine the degree of development of Polish sustainable of the agricultural sector. Models SEM, in our study, are used to describe the relationship between there macro-aggregates that occur in sustainable system: sustainable economic, sustainable environmental and sustainable social. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), Confirmatory Factor Analysis, interclass correlations (ICC), bootstrap results and parameters of structural models; The obtained preliminary results are quite interesting in terms of practical application in the assessment of the durability of the analysed economic system and the assessment of the coefficient of reliability (-Cronbach’s). The biggest impact is contained between environmental factors and economic factors (r=0.80; ICC). Empirical study has been conducted on a sample of 16 macro-object (voivodeships), five of which are economic variables, six environmental variables, and four social variables.
