Abstract
Problems currently observed in Polish agriculture have different origins.
Some of them have an historical background, while others are related to systemic
transformation and forthcoming accession to the European Union. Most of
the problems are common for all the candidate countries and most of them are
also observed in the developed economies. Identification of these problems is the
main purpose of this article. Special attention is paid to natural, human and capital
resources available in rural areas. Possible development paths are pointed
out. The article also covers most of the opportunities that may help overcome
rural development problems in Poland in the wake of forthcoming accession, and
their limitations.
