Organic agriculture is the basis of this concept. By introducing thiskind of agriculture in practice, the negative environmental consequencesfrom conventional agriculture can be reduced or completely removed, abiological balance in the production system can be achieved and the biologicaldifferentiation in some regions, as well as the development of stable agriculturalsystem, can expand and become sustainable.There are Bulgarian institutions for control and certifi cation of theirorganic products as well as foreign control institutions that are operating onthe territory of Republic of Bulgaria and their number is growing continually.An information and consulting system is being created through NSSZ,nongovernmental foundations and organizations.
