ORGANIC FARMING - THE KEY TO RIVER BASIN REVITALIZATION

Svitlana Shara

The article identifies one of the main elements of the Dnipro River basin rehabilitation through the cessation of herbicides, pesticides and mineral fertilizers, prevention of corn, sunflower, rapeseed, soybeans monoculture and organic farming expansion, arable land conservation and natural fodder lands, forests and meadow-marsh complexes and natural systems expansion. It has been shown that the state regulatory policy and environmental management standards should facilitate agricultural enterprises that implement and conduct organic farming. The paper also identifies the main aspects and factors that characterize the economic environment, the economic benefits of using ecological organic rent (monopoly), a special business environment for the formation of prices for organic products and the introduction of environmental marketing. Studies of the conditions for environmentally sustainable management in agriculture have identified the main link - the need for organic farming with a significant potential for water accumulation and increasing the natural fertility of rehabilitated land. A particularly important aspect is the price component, which is based on the uniquely created monopoly rent of organic farming and the special demand and inelastic supply. The above should be taken into account in the system of strategic management, program development of environmental relations and rehabilitation (revitalization) of the lands of the Dnipro river basin. The system of forming a healthy environment in the Dnipro basin, on the lands of enterprises engaged in organic farming, should take into account the environment of activity, the interaction of many factors with regard to ecological and economic goals, restrictions and development programs. The article presents the developed structural and logical scheme of strategic development of organic farming on the lands of the Dnipro basin. The above, by contributing to the expansion of the spatial basis of organic farming in the formation of the State strategic basin management with the aim of improving the Dnipro basin, ensures sustainable development and revitalization of water resources
