Social expectations as to the role of agriculture vary, ranging from the production of large quantities of inexpensive food, an improvement in the quality of foodstuffs and their guaranteed safety, participation in international exchange, respect for the needs of the natural environment and protection of the landscape to participation in the development of rural areas, etc. Functions ascribed to agriculture are the resultant of political choices that need to be harmonized and updated in the enlarged Europe. These choices relate to many levels (national, European, international) at which decisions are made and various initiatives are launched. This article presents several scenarios of evolution. The first of these scenarios is based on the concept of liberal economy and leaves agriculture to be piloted by enterprises from the food and agricultural sector. This tendency may produce undesirable effects for the agricultural word and upset the territorial and environmental equilibrium. The second scenario, based on the reformed Common Agricultural Policy, is not free either from contradictions between economic and social function of agriculture and it entails the risk of a deepening conflict of interests between the member-states. The third scenario, which is inscribed in the perspective of lasting development and which emphasises the service function of agriculture and valorization of territory in accordance with the logic of multifunctionality, seems to be an ideal proposal.

The paper describes the relations between the protection and agricultural activities pursued on the territory of the Biebrzanski National Park. The strength and character of agriculture's impact on the environment are particularly important in the areas of great natural value that are sensitive to man's interference. The author discusses the positive influence exerted on the natural environment by extensive agriculture supported by the agricultural policy of the European Union through agricultural-environmental programmes which ensure minimal interference in the natural processes and which are conducive to the preservation of environmental equilibrium. The value of this type of agricultural activity consists chiefly of the preservation of the qualities of an agricultural landscape and biological diversity of species and habitats, which is extremely important in the case of areas covered by the European Ecological Network 'Natura 2000'.

The polycentricism concept as the instrument and concept of territorial governance is broadly discussed as the development in the EU brought high concentration of economic activities and population in the central space of pentagon and this concentration seems to be supported by the integration processes and EU enlargement. Existing disparities between metropolitan areas and peripheral regions are multiplied by the differentiated benefits of multifunctional land-use. The concept of spatial-structural polycentricism in the combination with the concept of territorial capital and polycentric governance has ambitious to contribute to the development of new spatial quality in the EU.
