  ABSTRACT: Environmental indicators in the considered DPSIR model can be grouped into indicators for assessing the state of natural resources, indicators for analyzing the efficiency of the use of natural resources and indicators for assessing critical points in the agricultural sphere. Data from official statistical sources and the National Programme of Action for Sustainable Land Management and Combating Desertification in Bulgaria (2007-2013) were used for the assessment. The first group of environmental indicators with which the state and quality of natural resources can be determined are soil resource indicators, water indicators, and ambient air indicators. As a result of the analysis of the economic, social and environmental side of sustainability at the sectoral level, we find a number of problem areas and a divergence with the principles of sustainability.
