Increased interest in a healthy lifestyle stimulates the growth of consumption of organic products, which makes the development of organic agriculture a priority in Russia. As part of the strategic plan for scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation, a transition to highly productive organic agriculture is planned for the coming years. According to the FIBL Institute, the global organic market is estimated at 230 billion US dollars with an annual growth rate of 7-8%. About 187 countries are engaged in the production of organic products. Organic livestock farming, being a key component of organic agriculture, implies compliance with special conditions for keeping, breeding and feeding animals using humane methods and without the use of synthetic substances, antibiotics and hormonal drugs. In the organic product segment of the Russian Federation, dairy and meat products account for 9%. Organic milk production in 2021 amounted to 17,275 tons, which is equivalent to 0.05% of the total milk production in the country. Organic producers are required to meet higher requirements, which has led to the development of Russian and international standards regulating technological processes and the quality of final products. In accordance with the Strategy for the Development of Organic Production in the Russian Federation, by 2030 the share of organic products should reach 5% of the global agricultural market. The Russian Federation has significant land and labor resources, which creates favorable conditions for increasing the volume of organic livestock production.
