The diploma thesis deals with the topic of organic agriculture with an emphasis on the research of the situation in the Vipava Valley. The first part of the assignment describes the characteristics of organic agriculture, the rules, peculiarities and advantages of this type of farming. The state of organic agriculture in Slovenia is also presented in relation to the state in other countries. The second part of the thesis refers to the analysis of agriculture in the Vipava Valley and the presence of organic farming practices in the municipalities of the researched area. The largest share of organic land is occupied by meadows and pastures, and the largest number of organic farms are present in the municipality of Nova Gorica. Organic agriculture in the Vipava Valley is gaining in importance and visibility. Evidence for this is the ever-increasing demand for organic products or crops, the growth in the number of organic farms, and the preference of politicians for a natural way of farming, which benefits both humans and nature itself. Based on survey research, organic farming still has considerable potential in the Vipava Valley and in addition, this type of farming has a notable place in the further development of agriculture. Because of environmentally friendly practices, it also represents an important element in the fight against climate change or preparations for it.
