Essay

It is established that the activation of organic agricultural production is an important condition for the return to productive agricultural turnover of land that has not been used for a long period; limiting wind and water erosion of soils and generally strengthening agricultural landscapes; integrating agriculture and forestry through the expansion of the area of agroforestry works; increasing employment and self-employment of the local population; increasing tax and non-tax revenues to local budgets. It is proved that the main structure-forming link of organic agricultural production is organic farming. It is based on the use of a complex of environmentally friendly methods and tools: surface loosening, the use of crop rotations, the prioritization of green manure, the use of residues and organic waste, the use of non-commodity part of the crop, optimization of the ratio of organic and mineral fertilizers, the use of compost materials, the use of biodynamic and microbiological preparations. It is proved that organic agricultural production covers organic farming, organic cattle breeding and organic feed production. The transfer of agricultural producers to the model of organic agricultural production is provided by: biologization (application of straw and prioritization of green manure), liming and plastering of soils, application of organic fertilizers, plow-free tillage, mulching of soil, agroforestry, setting up the production of organic feed. It is proved that most of the tools of the system of financial and economic regulation of the introduction of technologies of organic farming, feed production and cattle breeding should be aimed at stimulating a complex of agro technical, agrochemical and soil protection measures that will create conditions for conducting organic agricultural production in accordance with the requirements of certification of organic products. It is established that the tools of financial and economic regulation of organic agricultural production as a set of methods, tools and levers of fiscal, financial and credit, customs and antimonopoly regulatory influence on agricultural producers specializing in the application of technologies of organic farming, cattle breeding and feed production, should be based on a set of principles overcoming the depression of rural settlements; ensuring the maximization of the formation of closed cycles in agricultural product chains; permanent implementation of international standards and regulations for the quality and safety of agricultural raw materials, food semi-finished products and ready-made food products; minimization of ecological and destructive and nature-destroying effects on agricultural landscapes; convergence of domestic and international practices in the introduction of methods and technologies of organic farming, feed production and animal husbandry; complexity of using all components of the material and technical substance of agricultural raw materials and finished food products; compliance with the sustainable development goals approved by the UN, which relate to overcoming hunger and responsible consumption; greening reproductive proportions in the raw materials and processing segments of agro-industrial production; taking advantage of decentralization and local government reform; compliance with the requirements of the Paris climate agreement in terms of reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere; advanced, rather than catching up type of development of the organic agricultural sector. Studies have shown that in a recession, the tools for financial and economic regulation of organic agricultural production should cover the following groups of methods and tools: 1) anti-crisis package (compensation, anticyclical measures, tools for eliminating structural imbalances, tools for overcoming institutional gaps); 2) incentive package (tax benefits, credit preferences, re-crediting, price surcharges); 3) stabilization package (subsidies, cross-subsidization, targeted budget financing, institutionalization of public-private partnership agreements). It is proved that in the context of deepening decentralization processes and local government reform, the problem of forming a set of methods of financial and economic incentives for the development of organic agricultural production at the level of territorial communities, which should cover the following groups of methods: fiscal, budget, institutional and advisory, property. It is established that a necessary condition for the effective regulatory influence of local self-government bodies on agricultural producers specializing in organic farming, cattle breeding and feed production is the formation of a subject-object base for financial and economic regulation of organic agricultural production at the level of a territorial community.
