Sustainable development of agriculture based on organic production technologies aims to preserve the environment and the quality of soil and water resources. It requires a conceptual systems approach to ensure the effective use of available production resources, including natural conditions. The presented work aims to develop the optimal location of organic agriculture across the territory. The basis of the concept is a methodological approach to the typification of territories, taking into account a set of factors, implemented in a developed information system that allows us to visualize the results of typification in the form of an interactive map, easy to use for producers and consumers of organic products, consulting, and financial organizations. Using induction and deduction methods, unique statistical methods (factor and cluster analysis, calculation of aggregate indicators), and software products made it possible to solve the following problems: Proposing a determination of the optimal location of organic products; developing a system of statistical indicators that comprehensively characterize production conditions; clustering large and small territorial units; visualizing the results obtained; and developing an online calculator to calculate an organization’s carbon footprint. The proposed concept has a high potential for application in countries with a large territorial extent and different levels of development. The results of using the information system as the basis of the concept can be useful for producers in the agricultural sector, agricultural management bodies, national and international organizations that accumulate, process and disseminate information about organic agriculture, and educational and research organizations.
