Issues in the legal regulation of the subsidization of organic agriculture

This article analyzes the legal issues arising in the regulation of the subsidization of organic agriculture. The growing demand for environmentally friendly products, threats to crop production caused by global climate change, and the need to ensure environmental safety as well as protect human life and health are giving new impetus to the development of organic agriculture. Since the production of organic products is a relatively new and developing area, the study of legal issues related to state regulation and subsidization of this sector is of particular relevance. In the context of digitalization, the use of modern information technologies is becoming increasingly important for ensuring the transparency and accessibility of the subsidy system, including in the processes of product certification, monitoring, and quality control. The study examined national legislation and the legislation of foreign countries in the field of organic agricultural production. The experience of the United States, the European Union in the field of subsidization was analyzed, and recommendations were developed for the application of best foreign practices in domestic production. The authors propose the creation of a separate digital register intended for the control and supervision of the production and circulation of organic agricultural products.
