Webinar: How to improve the development of organic agriculture on the local level

In cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management, on Wednesday, 18 November starting from 11h NALED will organize a webinar „How to improve the development of organic agriculture on the local level?” for the representatives of local governments and organic producers. The webinar will be organized via Zoom platform at the following link, ID: 830 8651 4355)

With the aim of encoruaging the development of organic farming, as one of the most promising areas for future growth, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water management and NALED support the improvement of organic production development programs applied by cities and municiplaities in Serbia involving organic farmers, so as to ensure higher amounts of subsidies for organic production. 

Within the webinar, Jelena Milić from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management wil present the novelties and plans in this field, while a representative of the City of Novi Sad will share this city's practice and program for organic producers, as an excellent example of assistance to organic producers, as it stimulates producers from the city area to engage in this type of production by allocating funds from the city budget for subsidies, covering 100% expenses of certification, procurement of seeds, fertilizers, and partial expenses for the procurement of necessary equipment.

Organic production contributes to sustainable use and preservation of natural resources and it stands as Serbia's major development opportunity since our preserved agrosystem, favorable climate and good quality of land act as our advantage compared to more developed European countries. Another benefit of organic production i certainly the development of rural areas with high unemployment rates. However, organic production accounts for only 0.3% of the total agricultural production.

The webinar is organized as part of the initiative for improving organic farming launched by the assocation „Agro Cluster of Serbia“ from Novi Sad within the Public Private Dialogue for Growth project implemented by NALED in cooperation with the National Public Policy Secretariat, and financed by USAID.
