Abstract

Unlike traditional agriculture, which is characterized by the use of large quantities chemicals, the development of organic agriculture helps to conserve natural resources, and influences employment growth and the opening of new jobs in rural areas. For the development of organic farming, one of the main factors is soil type. This article analyzes soil resources, explores prospects for the growth of organic agriculture in Serbia and provides a comparative analysis of the development of organic production in Montenegro, Bulgaria and Croatia. Using official statistics, the situation in the production of organic products in individual countries is analyzed. The results of the growth of organic agricultural land and the share of organic agricultural land in the total volume of agricultural land are presented according to indicators. The comparative analysis carried out in this article is based on available statistical data on the land area and the types of the soils.
