Summary: | Bulgarian organic agriculture is developing rapidly ever since the accession of the country to the European Union. The major factors affecting its growth are the accumulated professional experience in the sector as well as the social support available through the Common agricultural policy funds. The organic production as part of Bulgarian agriculture has been developing even faster than the average for the sector. In the latest years, the sector has reached its limits and the question about its sustainability must be further researched.
The goal of this study is to analyze the sustainability of Bulgarian organic agriculture and its impact on the development of the sector overall. In order to achieve its goal, the study must focus on a few important topics: to analyze the base for the development of organic agriculture in the country; to study the productive capacity of Bulgarian organic agriculture and its development; to draw conclusions and offer development policies focused on sustainability.
