ORGANIC AGRICULTURE IN ROMANIA, EUROPEAN UNION, AND SERBIA: TRENDS AND BENEFITS (2019-2023)

This paper analyzes the development of organic agriculture in Romania, the European Union, and Serbia during the period 2019-2023. It highlights the main benefits of organic farming, such as environmental protection, improved products’ quality, and support for sustainable rural development. The comparative analysis shows that during this period, the EU has continued expanding organic farmland under the “Farm to Fork” strategy, while Romania and Serbia have been developed their organic sectors at different paces and under varying conditions. The findings emphasize the importance of public support and regional cooperation in promoting sustainable agriculture.
