(1) Organic production is an overall system of farm management and food production that combines best environmental practices, a high level of biodiversity, preservation of natural resources, application of high animal welfare standards and production in line with the preference of certain consumers for products produced using natural substances and processes.
(1) Organic production is an overall system of farm management and food production that combines best environmental practices, a high level of biodiversity, preservation of natural resources, application of high animal welfare standards and production in line with the preference of certain consumers for products produced using natural substances and processes.
The organic production method thus plays a dual societal role, where it on the one hand provides for a specific market responding to a consumer demand for organic products, and on the other hand delivers public goods contributing to the protection of the environment and animal welfare, as well as to rural development.

(1) Organic production is an overall system of farm management and food production that combines best environmental practices, a high level of biodiversity, preservation of natural resources and application of high animal welfare standards, and aims to improve soil fertility by natural means and to ensure production in line with the preference of certain consumers for products produced using natural substances and processes.

The organic production method thus plays several positive roles: not only does it provide for a specific market responding to a consumer demand for organic products, while delivering public goods not only limited to the food sector, but also and above all it contributes to the protection of the environment and animal welfare, as well as to social rural development.
