The aim of the article is to present selected aspects of sustainable consumption and their social dimension. The article characterises organic farming as the main factor of sustainable development and social benefits resulting from the sales of organic products. It gives an example of networks connecting producers and consumers of organic products. These networks are an example of good practice in shortening the food chain and they prove the ecological awareness of healthy food producers and purchasers. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that as far as the aspect of social relations and connections between these groups is concerned, it is possible to notice very important premises for the creation and tightening of mutual bonds.
