| Title : | BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF ORGANIC PRODUCTION WITH REFERENCE TO MONTENEGRO |
| Abstract : | Organic agriculture is developing rapidly, as a reaction to threats to the environment, quality and safety of food and human health. The demand for organic products is increasing at a rate of 20%, due to the growing awareness of consumers about the importance of healthy and safe food and environmental protection. The goal of organic production is to obtain healthy and high-quality food in an ecological and sustainable way. Organic agriculture has a positive impact on the environment, because it improves biodiversity, soil biological activity, long-term soil fertility, recycles waste of plant and animal origin, uses renewable energy sources, minimizes all forms of pollution that can originate from agriculture, and improves product quality. Organic agriculture uses natural resources in a sustainable way, preserves the agro-ecosystem and indigenous varieties and breeds, connects plant and livestock production, and produces better-tasting products. Favorable climatic conditions, preserved nature and the production of traditional products enable the development of organic agriculture in Montenegro. Organic agriculture in Montenegro is primarily based on the processing of fruit, cereals and spice herbs. In order to realize the full potential of the organic production sector in Montenegro, it is necessary to increase the area under organic production and improve the quality of organic products, strengthen institutions and the support system for organic production, encourage research, education and advisory services in the field of organic production. |
