Organic farming is a system of agricultural production, in which a particularly strong emphasis is put on the use of natural
biological processes taking place on the farm. Farming with the use of organic methods requires farmers to have extensive
knowledge and to apply appropriate agricultural practices. The aim was to assess the existing advisory service and to identify
the needs of developing particular guidance aspects that support the expansion of agriculture and rural areas. For this
purpose, a survey has been conducted among 100 organic farmers and 17 persons providing the extension service in the
field of organic farming. The results allow us to conclude that organic farmers evaluate the existing agricultural extension
fairly positively and use such assistance eagerly, but the further development is required, both in terms of quality and quantity
corresponding to the needs and requirements of farmers.
