Area under certified organic production in the world are constantly increasing. The most present plant species in organic production in the world are cereals and forage crops, and from permanent crops - olives, fruits and grape vines. Trend of constant increasing in human population imposes a constant need to increase the production of small grain, while the specific nutrition requirements suggest use of alternative grain in addition to conventional. These usually involve species that are produced in relatively small areas, whose production is in most cases labor intensive, but from the unit area provides greater profit compared to the production of conventional crops. Organic production in Serbia is recent date compared to EU countries, and it is based mainly on the production of vegetable and fruit. Since the cereals are most represented in organic production in the world, our goal is to present the basic recommendations and the possibilities of their growing in these systems in our country. Special accent was placed on the specificity of next alternative plant species: durim wheat, spelt, millets, grain sorghum and buckwheat.
