	Ashoka Press Release
		She recognized that Poland's many small family-owned farms were ideally suited to convert to organic farming methods and thereby benefit from the emerging premium market for organic produce and livestock.
		Jadwiga's solution was to provide families converting organic farming with a steady stream of visitors who happily pay for the opportunity to stay, eat, and work on the farms.
		Her strategy is to demonstrate to Poland's small farmers and the Polish government that Poland need not repeat the Western experience with unsustainable large-scale agribusiness, a "sunset industry." Instead, Jadwiga argues, Poland has a unique opportunity to become a world leader in the "sunrise industry" of organic farming.
