“…The fact is that many of these sustainable farming systems were firstly being adopted by NGOs, small farmers and, more recently, by large commercial companies. Various studies have confirmed that there is a positive attitude towards the consumption of products that come as a result of sustainable production [48][49][50][51]. Organic farming can contribute to sustainable development by showing the model of production or being the lighthouse for sustainability.…”

With the greening of agriculture, there is a need to better link the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and organic agriculture in developing countries. However, in Serbia, there is a huge gap between the potential of their implementation and the actual situation. This paper assessed the strengths and weaknesses of SDGs and organic agriculture in Serbia and how their relationship can contribute in the development of sustainable agriculture. Key data and indicators of the economic, agricultural and social development of Serbia from international and national databases, as well as recent publications related to the selected topic, were assesed. The results showed that the restricted development of organic agriculture in Serbia stems from the undeveloped awareness of consumers, slower acceptance of alternative agricultural systems and the volatility of mainstream conventional agricultural production. The integration of organic agriculture into the largest conceptual and strategic frameworks, such as the SDGs, can offer a true transformation of local food systems and could result in positive feedback to the environment and society. In the long term, the SDGs framework can help connect various dimensions of sustainable agriculture, stakeholders and policymakers. The future focus should be on how to create entry points for agricultural transformation based on certified organic methodologies and how to integrate agricultural heritage into the realisation of SDGs.

The main goal of this research is to determine the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the frequency of buying organic food. It also examines whether the online sale of organic food has increased, and which channels were used for its purchase. The sample in the current research consists of 400 respondents of different demographic characteristics who filled out the questionnaire on two occasions, in 2020 and 2022. Data was processed in the SPSS program, and in addition to descriptive statistics, non-parametric techniques, the Wilcoxon test of equivalent pairs and the Kruskal-Wallis test were used to determine the differences in scores between several groups of respondents. The results showed that due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the frequency of buying organic food increased as its sale via the Internet. Consumers buy organic food most often in supermarkets and hypermarkets, while only few consumers buy it directly from organic food producers.

The development of the market for organic products has been recorded in many countries. The organic products market segment in the specific environment of the Republic of Serbia is gradually developing. In times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the interest in organic products increased. Expressed health concern has been perceived as one of the most important reasons for buying organic food. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the development of the organic products market and consumer attitudes towards organic products, as well as the factors that influence their behaviour, which should be taken into account when creating an adequate promotional strategy for this specific market.
