The empirical part draws on data from the European Environmental Agency for 1990-2013. The level of GHG emissions in the Polish agriculture, the main source of emissions and the structure of greenhouse gas emissions. It was concluded that in the period 1990-2013 GHG emissions in Polish agriculture decreased by almost 30% and its main sources are enteric fermentation of cattle and burning of fuels.
