THE SPECIFICS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF ORGANIC PRODUCTION IN RUSSIA, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE USE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN AGRICULTURE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the specifics of the development of domestic organic production based on the best practices in the application of nanotechnology in modern conditions. The growth trends of the organic products market for the production of environmentally friendly food products are highlighted, in the production of which the use of growth stimulants, agrochemicals, as well as any genetically modified elements is completely excluded in comparison with traditional production.  The analysis of the structure of domestic organic agriculture, consumer demand, and the growth dynamics of certified organic producers in Russia has been carried out, and a significant dependence on imports has been noted.  The key risks that hinder the effective development of the organic production market are identified, such as administrative, trade barriers, geopolitical, technological risks, agro-climatic risks, personnel risks, "greenwashing" risks and others. The lack of production of biofertilizers and organic fertilizers for agricultural producers is emphasized, since they are more preferable for producers of pure organic products. The article substantiates the importance of expanding innovative research in order to more actively introduce nanotechnology based on ultrafine particles in agriculture in the production of organic products, which creates new opportunities for improving the efficiency and sustainability of production. At the same time, the use of nanotechnology should be studied as much as possible from the point of view of safety issues in the agricultural sector and legal regulation.
