Serbia as a country of SE Europe has variety of geographic, climate, natural and cultural heritage. According to IUCN, mountains of Serbia are part of one of 6 biodiversity centres of temperate climate. Extremely in danger, these vulnerable areas require special treatment that would provide whole network of life protection, instead conventional protection of nature. Optimal model of community development for these territories is in the framework of integral rural development strategy. This concept is a part of UNESCO reserve Man and Biosphere. Food production is basic component of rural economy which can be applied in our mountains. One of the opportunity for prevention of further soil destruction and natural degradation is recovery of sustainable and organic agriculture. Safe food production is only option which includes environmental protection and life standard increase from economic and social aspect. Introduction of organic agricultural production in Serbia fill long-term demand for population health preservation and environmental protection as well.
