Organic agriculture has multiple benefits as most valuable option in redesigning food systems to achieve ecological, economic, and social sustainability. Moreover it could encompass and establish food system from field to fork necessary to com-plete the SDG without oversize resource depletion and negative impact on the environment. The study showed that by placing organic agriculture high in the agenda of SDG it is possible to create conditions for sustainable development while identify and manage trade-offs in agriculture and maximize co-benefits.
