Continually improve your business with the organic production
Organic production is a way of agricultural production that integrates ecological knowledge and agricultural practices into a system that produces quality and healthy food.
In order to deal with organic production, it is necessary to have a good knowledge of all the environmental factors, and especially the fertility of the soil on which organic production takes place. There are two types of this production: organic plant production and organic animal breeding, and in both cases, the main principle throughout the process is to respect biological cycles, just as they occur in nature.
The goal of organic production is to contribute to the health of those who consume organic products, as well as to a generally healthier ecosystem on Earth. For this reason, the use of pesticides and genetically modified organisms in organic production is prohibited by law.

1. Features
Find out what the Organic Production really is and what makes it suitable for your business.
Some of the most important features of organic production are:
– Use of crop rotation when growing crops;
– Strict restrictions on the use of chemical-synthetic pesticides and artificially produced fertilizers, antibiotics for the treatment of animals, food additives, etc;
– Prohibited use of genetically modified organisms;
– Using local resources that already exist on the farm;
– Selection of species of plants and animals that are disease resistant and adapted to local conditions;
– Raising animals on open and free surfaces and providing organic nutrition to them instead of concentrated feed;
– Application of animals’ feeds to suit different types of animals.
2. Objectives
Organic production strives for the following goals:
– Establishing a sustainable management system for agriculture;
– Production of high quality products;
– Production of a wide variety of food and other agricultural products, taking into account consumer requirements for products that are produced in ways that do not harm the environment, as well as the health of people, animals and plants.
3. Adventages
While conventional agricultural production is based on the use of machinery, mineral fertilizers and chemicals in order to maximize yields and profits, organic production is based on the principles of reducing anthropogenic environmental impact, while allowing the production of food in the most natural way.
This means that it not only represents production without artificially obtained fertilizers and chemicals, but functions as a viable unit that includes plants, animals, micro-organisms, insects, soil organic and mineral substances, and even people.
4. Certification
Organic (BIO) certification guarantees that the products are obtained in the organic production process. This certificate applies to food production in an environmentally and ethically, health-safe, socially rightful and economically profitable manner. This applies not only to the production of high quality food, but also to the care for the environment and the preservation of natural resources, which leads to the sustainability of food production.
