This article attempts to present the current activities in Poland in the field of rural development trends and determinate in connection with the implemented agricultural policy. In order to clarify these relationships were analyzed following topics:- the characteristic of economic activities in rural areas in Poland, the characteristics of the rural development policy in Poland and activities resulting from the production-environmentally-rural dimension of agricultural policy for the development of rural areas in Poland in 2020. Analyses and considerations, which have prepared in this article, have indicated among others., that the Polish accession to the EU slowed down the process of development of rural areas, and the Common Agricultural Policy is not a factor of significant structural changes, which in most EU countries have already made. This policy affects primarily to increase revenue, but nor applicable to improve the competitiveness of the agricultural sector. Base on agricultural policy in Poland on EU directives means that in Poland there is a lack of its agricultural policy, and also policy of structural change, despite the ppear needs of agriculture and rural areas.
