Abstract:
Organic agriculture represents an economic sector of significant
dynamics over the last years. European states have encouraged the
development of the agricultural sectors that are environmentally friendly and
that offer the quality products desired by consumers. Common Agricultural
Policies reforms have brought to the attention of European countries the
need for the rational use of natural resources and environmental friendly
technologies application. At present, there are many instruments and support
measures for the development of organic farms: price support instruments,
rural development programmes, agri-environmental measures, investment
support for the conversion of traditional farms into organic farms, process
systems and market tools to for the products obtained with environmentally
friendly technologies, training programmes for farmers with the goal to
initiate and develop organic productions, incentives for farms in less favored
area, research in agriculture so as to improve productivity and competitivity
etc. In this paper, we propose to identify the advantages of adequate
strategies in the organic agriculture domain.
