The article deals with the interdependence between the multifunctionality of agriculture and rural areas and sustainable development. The concept of sustainable development has become the paradigm of modern theories of development. It is impossible to implement this concept, desirable for many reasons, without putting into effect the principles of multifunctional agriculture geared towards the attainment of both commercial objectives (the competitiveness of agriculture) and objectives connected with agriculture's functions as a provider of public goods and expert knowledge. Structural changes taking place in Polish agriculture are not conducive in a sufficient extent to an improvement in agriculture's productivity and the implementation of the assumptions of multifunctional agriculture. One of the reasons of this undesirable state of affairs is the faulty agricultural policy which contributes to the preservation of unfavorable structures and behaviors of agricultural farms. To mark the 40th anniversary of the Institute of Rural and Agricultural Development of the Polish Academy of Science (IRWiR PAN) the author of the article presents the most important domains of the Institute's research effort and its contribution to the solution of major social and economic problems of the Polish rural community and agriculture.

The article deals with one of the most important questions concerning agriculture and agricultural policy at present, namely the question of agriculture's multifunctionality and the phenomenon's relation to agricultural policy, especially at the EU level. The article marks an attempt at the identification of agriculture's function in relation to market production and non-market production as well as its influence on the natural environment and on the social and cultural spheres. The author analyses the phenomenon of agriculture's multifunctionality in the context of the concept of sustainable development, the problem of evaluation of the non-market functions of agriculture, the problem of food safety and legitimisation of public assistance to agriculture in the European Union.

The article presents sheep-farming as an example of multifunctional agriculture. The described branch of production is an optimum solution for agricultural activity in the mountainous regions from the point of view of their natural conditions and the relatively low capital intensity of such production. Sheep-farming represents a unique combination of the production of numerous marketable goods and public goods important for the entire society. It also is a highly sustainable branch of production which offers economic opportunities and which is conducive to social stability and permits to show care for the natural environment. The resumption of this almost relinquished activity offers a chance for infusing new life into the mountainous regions.
