      abstract = {The authors discuss the possibility of applying the theory  of diffusion of innovations in the
concept of organic  farming. Agricultural and food sector has been exposed to  significant
changes over the past two centuries. That was  very significant for the theory of diffusion of
innovations  that sought to better understand the process of knowledge  transfer and adoption
of innovations. Organic farming has  developed as a response to the environmental and  other
problems of conventional agriculture. Also, it is a  reaction to some issues regarding rural
development. By  introducing the theory of diffusion of innovation, the aim  of the paper is to
take into the consideration the  possibility of its application to the organic system  analysis.
By that, we wish to take into account all the  specifics which enable to observe the system of
organic  farming as an innovation itself. The authors conclude that  the theory of diffusion of
innovations can be used in the  research of organic farming systems, with the respect of  all
characteristics and particularities of organic  farming.},
