There is an urgent need to improve energy efficiency in the European Union. In order to enable end-users to make rational decisions, there is a need to provide them with better knowledge. Local actions should give information about available energy efficiency improvement techniques, technical characteristics of machines, transport and energy consuming equipment. The selected field of research was the agriculture sector. The changes in the agricultural sector in the late 90's, initially did not contribute to a decline in energy consumption. The current situation clearly shows that among selected European countries, Poland has a relatively high energy consumption in this sector. The paper shows how these issues are understood by representatives of the agricultural sector.
