Abstract: Traditional agriculture has been a supplier of food for the growing population of the earth for a long time. In the second half of the last century, a new paradigm began to develop: a return to life or the creation of self-healing systems in agriculture capable of producing healthy, nutritious food. The ecological aspect has become an integral part of sustainable development, so the method of conducting environmentally friendly or organic agriculture is expanding, and Russia is a participant in this process. The ecological advantages of organic agriculture are noticeable on the example of crop production, when effective fertility management takes into account the characteristics of the plant, soil organic matter and soil biology. The development of organic farming and crop production as part of it in Russia is an important tool for the sustainable development of rural areas of the country, and also reduces the negative impact on human health and the environment, contributes to solving social and economic problems.
