Abstract

In the modern world, special attention is paid to the rational use of natural resources and the provision of the population with safe food. In this regard, the principles of organic farming are relevant both in Russia and abroad, as they allow reducing the negative impact of agriculture on the environment. Primorsky Territory has a significant potential for the development of organic farming due to the presence of fallow lands and the proximity to the countries of the Asia-Pacific region interested in importing organic products. That is why the development of regional programs in this area will contribute not only to reducing the pesticide load on agroecosystems, but also to the economic growth of the south of the Far East.

Highlights

The intensification of agricultural production based on the use of chemical pesticides and synthetic mineral fertilizers has reached its limits, and the emergence of an organic segment in the agricultural industry of many countries was a reaction to the excessive chemicalization of agricultural production
In terms of the distribution of certified organic agricultural land, Australia and Oceania hold a leading position with a total area of 35.9 million hectares, followed by European countries (14.6 million hectares), and Russia, a country fully provided with land resources, currently has only 0.7 million hectares of land certified for growing organic products (Fig. 1)
Since 2018, the Russian Federation has been on the list of countries practicing organic farming, and since January 1, 2020, the production of organic products in our country has been legislatively enshrined after the entry into force of the Federal Law “On Organic Products” [13]

Summary

Introduction

The intensification of agricultural production based on the use of chemical pesticides and synthetic mineral fertilizers has reached its limits, and the emergence of an organic segment in the agricultural industry of many countries was a reaction to the excessive chemicalization of agricultural production. According to the annual report of IFOAM, 178 countries practice organic production in the world, of which 87 have their own regulatory framework [3]. According to IFOAM, the top three remained unchanged - the United States leads the market with 40.6 billion euros, followed by Germany (10.9 billion euros) and France (9.1 billion euros) [15]. In terms of the distribution of certified organic agricultural land, Australia and Oceania hold a leading position with a total area of 35.9 million hectares, followed by European countries (14.6 million hectares), and Russia, a country fully provided with land resources, currently has only 0.7 million hectares of land certified for growing organic products (Fig. 1). Since 2018, the Russian Federation has been on the list of countries practicing organic farming, and since January 1, 2020, the production of organic products in our country has been legislatively enshrined after the entry into force of the Federal Law “On Organic Products” [13]
