Great quantities of organic fertilizers are required for the fertility of the soil, which is a limiting factor for the devolopment of sustainable agriculture. The needs for such fertilizers is enormous. They can be obtained from cattle-breeding farms (about 4,170.000 tons of organic ferlitizers are produced annually in the Republic of Macedonia) that meet about 36% of the needs. The rest can be obtained by processing secondary raw material (hay, food leftovers, manure, waste from sewage systems etc.). Organic susbstances can be used only if they are treated microbiologically i.e. by composting.

Measures for introducing sustainable agriculture in Macedonia are the following:

1. Complete utilization of arable land (only 30% of the total quantity of arable land is utilized).
2. Utilization of the whole quantity of organic fertilizers.
3. Reduced use of mineral fertilizers.
4. Land protection from erosion by forestration of barren hills.
5. Prohibition of development (industrial, commercial etc.) in zones designated for sustainable agriculture.
6. Incentives for farmers to produce health foods (expert assistance, guaranteed ransom, various subsudies etc.).
7. Measures promoting development of honey production in regions with good conditions.
8. Encouraging development of fisheries where there are conditions for that.
9. Complete control of soil and water as a condition for production of health foods.
10. .Sustainable forestry.
