Abstract [eng] The aim of this research is to identify and analyse the recent tendencies of farm specialisation, land use structure and distribution of land productivity in ecological farms and farms in transition in Lithuania. To achieve the aim the following objectives have been set: 1) to analyse the situation with farm specialisation and particularly with ecological animal husbandry in Lithuania and its western part; 2) to analyse the situation with land use structure and land productivity in ecological farms and farms in transition in Lithuania and its western part; 3) to compare situation in Lithuania to that in Latvia, Estonia and other EU member states. The area of arable land and meadows and pastures is almost equal across organic farms in the EU: about 40% 35 are covered by crops grown on arable land, and 45% by meadows and pastures. In Lithuania in 2009 crops covered almost 70% of certified ecological agricultural land, meadows and pastures occupied 20% of total ecological farmland. Such a situation was due to higher payments for cereal plots, particularly for ecological wheat, since 2007. In 2011 slight increase in the number of ecological animal husbandry farms was observed, at the same time there was a decrease in arable land and increase in meadows and pastures.
