Summary/Abstract: In this study, it is aimed to make an evaluation on the importance of organic agriculture and the potential and usage areas expected to occur in the future. Consumer concerns based on food products led people to move from conventional agriculture to organic farming at the expense of paying more money. Organic product consumption is increasing globally. Nowadays, organic agriculture is now accepted as a new production method for all countries and is included in its programs. Organic agriculture is applied in 172 countries and 43.7 million hectares in the world and the trade volume is around 80 billion dollars. Turkey is the largest producer of organic farming and has 516 thousand hectares of organic farmland in Europe, there are 79 million dollars in export revenue. The tendency of individuals to become an organic product consumer increases as their income and education level increases. It is expected that the amount of consumption will continue to increase more in the future.
