Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the main results of the Agricultural Census 2010 (PSR 2010), conducted for the first time after the Polish accession to the European Union. It broadly describes the trends in the years 2002–2010, illustrates the dynamic changes in agriculture, the trend of the economic efficiency, production concentration, specialization and modernization. It describes the phenomena concomitant these changes i.a. reducing the number of farms and agricultural production, or even abandoning their agricultural activities. It was noted that the changes in Polish agriculture occur inconsistently due to the large regional differences in the country. It also discusses the special role in the transformation of agriculture in the countryside and the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union, having multifaceted impact on many phenomena, such as specialization and modernization of farms, maintenance of sown area, as well as a decline in populations of some species of livestock.
