ABSTRACT
Agriculture in Poland is one of the major sources of emissions of gaseous pollutants. In this respect,
Polish agriculture is facing many difficult challenges, including reduction of ammonia and greenhouse
gas emissions from livestock production and emissions of nitrous oxides and suboxides from manure and
mineral fertilizers. Reducing emissions of, among others, gas from agriculture requires the introduction
of innovative techniques and tools to increase the efficiency of agricultural production and waste from
livestock and crop residues. The main objective of this paper is to outline the problem of low carbon
agriculture in Poland, with particular emphasis on emissions of methane and nitrous oxide. This paper
presents the main determinants and problems related to the development of low-carbon agriculture in
Poland. The source of information for writing the paper was literature of the subject and statistical data
of the Central Statistical Office.
