This chapter draws upon Beniamin Barber’s concept of McWorld, understood as an omnipotent Market organized mainly by and for the transnational global corporations, with crucial support of globilizing institutions such as the WB, the IMF, the WTO, and the GATT. It coins and develops a thesis holding that agriculture all over the world has been seized by McWorld, that resulted in creation of latifundum, in transformation of peasants into rural workers, and in the commodification of food, processed in food industry and treated as merely market item. In this chapter special attention has been paid to the issue of the McWorld’s impact on the Polish agriculture. The undertaken analysis leads to the conclusions that despite the European Union’s policy of agriculture protection against the Market the McWorld’s rules constantly transform Polish agriculture and deadly threaten family farming in Poland.
