Legal Aspects Of Digitalization Of Organic Agriculture

Abstract

The development of agriculture in the Russian Federation in recent years has been closely linked to the need for environmentally friendly food products produced with minimal use of harmful substances. The food security of the country and the recognition of Russian-made eco-products on the world market for agricultural goods, of course, should be guaranteed not only by production volumes, but also by the quality of products. Special attention should be paid to the implementation of Blockchain principles, labeling with QR codes and control of seed products at different stages of production, as the first step towards growing eco-products. Digital technologies should also protect the interests of the consumer, namely by labelling eco-products and including organic agricultural products in the list of goods subject to mandatory labelling by identification. The quality and recognition of eco-products produced according to all domestic and world standards is proposed to be protected by developing and registering geographical indications for environmentally friendly agricultural products produced in Russia. The consumer should be sure that by acquiring Bashkir honey, Vologda oil and other famous Rossi products, he receives a guarantee of the quality and safety of the product as an eco-product. The study concluded that efforts to develop the organic agricultural sector, combined with modern digital achievements, can have a multiplier effect on the entire agricultural industry, ensure food security of the country and increase the income of the Russian Federation from agricultural exports.
