In thhis paper the system dynamics model of organic farming development in order to support decision making is presented. The system incorporates relevant variables, which affect the development of the organic farming. The model seek answer to strategic questions related to the level of organically utilized area, levels of production and crop selection in a long term dynamic context and will be used for simulation of different policy scenarios for organic farming and their impact on economic and environmental parameters of organic production at an aggregate level. Using the model several scenarios were performed. The analysis has shown that conversion to organic farming relies on subsidies which provide the main source of conversion from conventional farming to organic farming, however, subsidies are not the only driving force in the system; even more important are the other activities that promote organic farming.
