Summary/Abstract: The gradual degradation of the environment and social conflicts are negative results of commercialization and intensification of agricultural production. Particularly destructive influence in this respect is noted in connection with the activity of the so-called corporate farms, taking the form of farms with high concentration of animals. Therefore, one legal aspect of their functioning has been analysed in this paper: farms perceived as an odour-generating factor. Due to the fact that the pork market is vital for agricultural market in Poland, the considerations have been limited to pig farms. The aim of the article is to analyse the current (de lege lata) public-law instruments in the Polish normative system that aim at counteracting the so-called odour nuisance resulting from agricultural activity related to pig production in factory farms.
