Organic agriculture and structural investment: innovative proportions of the food sector

Abstract

Organic agriculture, ensuring food quality, is under competitive pressure from both high-intensity technologies and environmental requirements. In the agricultural economy, there are significant risks of reducing the investment attractiveness of agriculture, which is slowly but surely being transformed into a certain biochemical corporation. Investments in high-intensity agriculture, a priori having a high return, form a different industry structure from the traditional one and, as a result, a biochemical model of nutrition. It is necessary to establish parameters of structural proportions in the agricultural economy, the achievement of which would ensure the implementation of the strategic goal of food security. In this case, the investment sphere should be supplemented with a structural investment mechanism that will provide monetary resources for the specified structural transformations based on the principles of science-based planning.
