摘要：The food industry is associated with specific environmental damage identified mainly by the high consumption of water an generated sewage and waste, the emission of dust and gas, the consumption of energy and fuels. In accordance to the EU directives, the food production in Poland is done with significant modifications and improvements of technology, which give tangible results in environmental protection, but not enough to be able to rule on the no-claim production. Reading of statistics on food production indicates progress, specifying the environmental damage as minimal. Meanwhile, in the scale of production, the environmental damage is identified a few percent of untreated wastewater or emitted gases, dust, is the significant result and more important in the large-scale production. The structure of the industry is, therefore, an important factor for the solution of the dilemma, caused by the economic development against environmental protection.
