2022
Petrova-Hristova, Kristina
: Agriculture as a traditional branch has a strategic importance for Bulgaria, not only because it ensures food security, and creates raw materials for many other industries and sectors of the national economy, but also provides work and income for a significant part of the population in rural areas. When we talk about agriculture as an economic activity we must always consider it in direct correlation with rural areas and their vitality. The sector is among the most dynamically developing in terms of modernization, robotization, digital transformation, also provoked by the ambitious goals related to climate and green challenges on a global scale. Precisely the agricultural sector is at the center of the circular economy and bio-based societies, preservation and development of the regions, and is in close connection with the development of science - from applied to the top - called to carry humanity into the next era. Bulgarian agriculture has deep traditions in society, its history can be traced back in time. But in the circumstances of globalization, facilitating access to imported food, it is important to increase the competitiveness of Bulgarian agricultural products. In recent years, there is more and more talk about ecologically clean production, and Bulgaria is no exception because it is making serious attempts to develop organic agriculture in the country.
