Development of Export-Oriented Organic Agriculture Based on Bio-Intensive Technologies

Abstract

The paper substantiates the objective prerequisites and necessary conditions for the development of export-oriented organic agriculture in Russia based on bio-intensive technologies, ecosystem management, the improvement of production and market infrastructure, the certification of organic products, and training of specialists with relevant qualifications. The main factors slowing down the development of organic agricultural production in Russia were identified. It is substantiated that scientific research should be comprehensive, aimed at maintaining and improving soil fertility, the quality and certification of organic products, the formation of ecosystem management, and increasing the economic efficiency of organic agriculture. Bio-intensive technologies and a regional model for the development of organic agriculture in the territories of the Great Altai are presented.
