he paper presents the results of a questionnaire survey on adoption of organic farming in
Podravska region. The survey was conducted on the sample of 58 organic farms and 99
conventional farms in the year 2005. The results show certain differences among both groups
of farms in information adoption and attitudes towards nature sustainability. Both groups of
farms use different information sources, and are members in different associations. Also the
level of environmental awareness is higher by organic farmers but in many other
characteristics the differences are not significant. The analysis of future plans of conventional
farmers also revealed a significant proportion of farms which are undecided regarding the
conversion of their farms to organic agriculture in the next 10 years.
