The aim of this review paper is to present the rule of natural recyclingin organic farm and the possibility to prevent environment pollution through the promotionof ecological recycling among producers. The paper presents a special example of ecologicalagriculture called ERA (Ecological Recycling Agriculture). The aim of ERA is to protect theBaltic Sea environment. The convertion of farms located in the Baltic Sea catchment area toorganic farming (based on ERA) would have great positive environmental effects.
