Purpose: The purpose of the article is to identify the resilience capabilities of farmers from the Western Pomerania region in response to emerging economic, social and environmental challenges. Design/methodology/approach: The research used literature studies and quantitative surveys. This study used a set of primary data obtained by direct survey using a structured survey questionnaire. The survey was conducted in 2022. This study focuses on the concept of thinking about resilience. Findings: The subjective assessment of resilience (past, current and future) as well as its components showed that farm managers are aware of the formation of this economic and organizational category. Resilience was most frequently associated by respondents with adaptive capacity and least frequently indicated a link with transformation. It should be considered as worrying that the same percentage of farmers stated that the farm is and will be resilient to external factors. This indicates that farmers do not treat the category of resilience as a process that changes over time. Methods/techniques for strengthening resilience as one of the three dimensions mainly include those relating to the payment of current liabilities (equating current financial resilience with liquidity), long-term financial resilience, provisioning and the use of insurance (mainly crop insurance). Research limitations/implications: The research adopted a purposive sampling method, which has its limitations. Originality/value: The research contributes to the long-standing discussion on identifying pathways to improve the ability of agricultural actors to survive and recover from shocks in the light of the growing challenges of today's world, and to develop strategies and policies for the resilience of agriculture and related systems in the context of economic, social, and environmental challenges.
