Biological production: priority of the family agriculture

Plamena Yovchevska

Abstract: The changes in the habitat of man, caused by the ever accelerating, sometimes even irreversible exhaustion of resources, climate change increasingly leading to harvest destruction become existential problems of the ever more globalising world. The response of the scientific community is integrated in a series of policies, aimed at an increasingly eco-friendly production. The biological production becomes a benchmark. It is acknowledged as a technological solution which is friendly towards the environment. The society is ready to support the agricultural producers. The demand for ecological and local products increases. The UN declared 2014 for International Year of Family Farming. The aim of the report is to present representative results of an empirical sociological survey carried out in 2010 and 2012 on a regional and national level. The analysis of issues with regard to the ecologisation of the new CAP, the attitude toward the land resource and plans for the future, reveal the sustainability between the mindset of the agricultural producers and the policies for the conservation of the environment and climate change mitigation.

Keywords: biological production; ecological culture of the agricultural producer; ecologisation of CAP 2014; empirical sociological survey; synergic sustainability
