Abstract
Paper is aimed in assessment of first period of Poland’s membership in EU and covering agriculture and rural areas with the support
under the Common Agricultural Policy in the context of future challenges faced by the agricultural policy. Analysis shows that accession to
EU became a strong impulse for growth of the Polish food economy, however the main challenge for the Common Agricultural Policy in
future, from Poland’s perspective, will be strengthening the multifunctional agriculture, i.e. territorial cohesion and positive effects of
agricultural activity on natural environment.
