Abstract

The article assesses regional differences in the interaction between natural and organizational factors in Bulgarian agriculture. The analysis was carried out for the South Central Region and for the country dynamically and covers the period 2007-2013. The indicators for the South Central Region are compared with the average for Bulgaria as a reference system. The study, in addition to descriptive statistics, also uses the GIS to outline the specific soil and climatic areas that fall within the region under investigation and, on this basis, calculate an Index of Agri-environmental Potential for the region. The analysis shows the need to change the principle from sectoral to territorial, i.e. regionalization of the national agricultural policy. This approach should contribute to changing tools to achieve policy objectives - moving away from subsidies to investment.
