Europejski Zielony Ład a „zazielenienie” rolnictwa i Wspólnej Polityki Rolnej
The European Green Deal, the Greening of Agriculture and Common Agricultural Policy

Summary/Abstract: The topic of this study is the concept of the European Green Deal, especially, in relation to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) as well as to the role of agriculture in the greening processes, in particular in the pursuit of maintaining environmental protection, biodiversity, and preventing climate changes. Currently, the concept of the green economy implemented in the EU is known as the European Green Deal. The special function in the implementation of the Green Deal is attributed to the greening of the CAP, to the modernised strategy of the food flow “The Farm to Fork” in shortening of the supply chains, to creating the new forms of circular economy and to various actions taken to tackle climate change. All these green concepts are connected with the paradigm of sustainable development and they have become the form of the sustainable development execution in the strategies developed. This study is based on the relevant scientific literature and the official documents provided by the EU and UN agencies, and other international institutions and organisations. The implementation of the Green Deal in agriculture and in the agricultural areas requires creating a new architecture of connections between the production tasks in agriculture and the actions that improve the environment and climate, as well as requiring an efficient system of non-productive activity evaluation, measuring its effects and costs. The involvement of agriculture in creation of public goods should be appropriately rewarded. The green concepts of the sustainable development implementation require investment and educational support. The green concepts of development embrace many ambitious assumptions and can thus be considered too optimistic.
