Organic farming as a promising direction of scientific and technological development of crop production in the Novosibirsk region

Abstract

The article shows that the Novosibirsk region can occupy an important niche in the development of organic agriculture in Russia. There are more than 65 thousand hectares of fallow lands in the region, which are most suitable for putting into circulation for organic farming, as well as 1.097 peasant (farmer) enterprises and 2.783 individual entrepreneurs engaged in agricultural production. It is calculated that in each district of the Novosibirsk region, on average, 10% of grain crops in K(F)X can be transferred to organic production, i.e. 44.6 thousand hectares. This will make it possible to produce 671.7 thousand centners of organic grain, while the possible losses during the transition to this type of production will amount to 74.6 thousand centners. A list of organic farming technologies for the region is proposed.
