CITY SUPPORTS ORGANIC PRODUCERS’ PARTICIPATION AT BIOFACH 2015 EXHIBITION IN GERMANY

Representatives of the Novi Sad Economy Administration, along with six organic producers from Novi Sad, are participating at the leading organic products exhibition BIOFACH 2015, in Nuremberg, Germany. The visit to this important event, which gathers prominent organic food producers, has been realized in accordance with the City of Novi Sad Action Plan for Organic Food Production Development. 

City of Novi Sad Action Plan for Organic and Controlled Production Development in Agriculture for 2015, establishes priorities, objectives, tasks and measures for organic and controlled production improvement in Agriculture throughout the entire City territory.

The concept is based on using natural resources and regulating mechanisms in order to replace potential contaminating and polluting inputs, as well as to provide sustainable production. Agro-technical measures and biological (physical/chemical) methods are carefully selected and balanced, with special consideration towards health protection – of the producer, of consumer, as well as of the environment.

- This year also, the City continues to support organic production, with educational lectures to follow, after which a public announcement will follow for those interested in participating at the City organic production support program. During the one-year period, selected producers will be offered training, as well as a study trip to one of the EU countries with developed organic production. – stated Mr. Sečujski, Member of the City Council in charge for Economy.

The Nuremberg Exhibition takes place from February 12th to 14th, and offers an excellent opportunity for producers from Novi Sad to exchange their experiences and learn more about some of the most advanced methods on how to use natural resources responsibly.
