These phenomena have not been free of their impact on food consumption. An aim of the author’s deliberations is to provide a picture of the main directions of changes of the demand for food in Poland in 2009-2012 in macro- and microeconomic terms.

A source of information was also results of the author’s own analyses of the market statistics. In the studies, there were used mainly methods of the statistical and economic analysis.
