Problems of Organic Production by Rural Settlements and Ways of their Solution
The consumption of organic products of the subsidiary farms by rural families is a centuries-old tradition in Russia. Only production technologies and types of ownership have changed. In the conditions of the state economy, the labour in subsidiary farms was performed as an additional one. It was done after the completion of unfairly paid work on state agricultural enterprises and in collective farms. The appropriation and consumption of products created on manor land plots were a family reward for its daily hard work. With the reform of state property and the transition to a market economy the conditions of managing farms by the rural residents changed radically. The tendencies in their unsustainable development and bankruptcy, reduction and increase in the sizes of the land plots, changes in the structure production have arisen. It led to a decline in the life quality of the population. The research, based on the analysis of negative processes, shows a system of measures that contributes to the rural residents' restoration of the farms producing organic products, which determine incomes, food culture and health of the population to a large extent.
