Hvozd O. State regulation of the development of organic agricultural production in Ukraine

The dissertation is devoted to substantiation and improvement of theoretical bases and development of practical recommendations on state regulation of development of organic agricultural production in Ukraine. Theoretical bases of state regulation of development of organic agricultural production are generalized. The main approaches to the definition of organic production are proposed and organic production is singled out among other similar concepts. Due to the analysis of the legislative base of Ukraine, organic legislation is systematized, which serves as a legal basis for the implementation of state regulation in the field of organic production. the principles of state regulation in the field of organic production are analyzed and based on the results of this analysis their necessity is substantiated. the conceptual model of the organizational and economic mechanism of state regulation of organic agricultural production as a set of appropriate support, namely - a set of legal, regulatory, economic, administrative and institutional support and prerequisites that form the organizational and economic mechanism.
