Popis: The actuality of organic farming is revealed as an important policy priority for Bulgarian agriculture and one of the highlights of the Common Agricultural Policy (2014-2020) encouraging farmers to switch to organic farming which should contribute to both: protection of the environment and production of healthy food. The purpose of the study is to assess the production capacity of Bulgarian organic animal husbandry, as a base for its further development and as a result of the social support towards it. To reach this goal the study should accomplish three tasks: - Assessing the level of production of Bulgarian organic animal husbandry - Presenting and analyzing the social support framework for the sector - Offer a conclusion and recommendations for the implementation of the Common agricultural policies of the EU and improvements of the production capacity of the sector. The production capacity of bio-farms is linked to their economic performance and ability to provide the necessary income for the owner and employees. Public support for this type of production has a favorable effect on the economic situation of the sector, but access to the resources provided by the CAP is linked to the still significant administrative difficulties and a high level of transaction costs.
