Abstract

Organic agricultural production contributes, on the one hand, to ecological preservation and, on the other, to the sustainable development of agriculture. The main goal of the chapter is the presentation of the organic production from two aspects. The first is the macro level, which will present the available models of organic production at the EU level. The second aspect, the micro level, will show how individual farmers implement an organic production system. This chapter is merely a confirmation that organic farming is a quality standard that is legally regulated in each of EU’ countries and, as such, requires certification. In addition, in organic production there is the possibility of issuing individual and group certificates, so the ways of their implementation will be discussed. The fact that organic production is regulated means that it basically has certain principles that must be adhered to by all farmers who are in the organic production system.
