Prospects for the development of organic agriculture in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in context of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

Agriculture is historically entrenched as a traditional occupation of the population of Yakutia, but despite this, it is also one of the most problematic sectors of the economy due to the climatic, territorial and other characteristics of the republic. Due to the lack of innovations, the current state of agriculture can be described as stagnant. The industry needs innovations, which should lead to a new round of development, one of which can be organic agriculture. Organic agriculture is a global trend, which has been practiced in more than 180 countries around the world, and their number is increasing every year. The initial reason for the popularization was the intensification of agriculture in the middle of the last century, which solved many problems associated with ensuring food throughout the world, but on the other hand, it also provoked the emergence of many other problems of a global scale, mainly related to the deterioration of the environment. Over time, the original reason for the popularization related to the environment did not recede into the background and still remains relevant, but also later they began to highlight the social and economic benefits of organic agriculture, which at present, all together, collectively attract more and more attention from states, producers and consumers. The article analyzes the current state of organic agriculture in the world and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, which has contributed to the emergence of new trends that in the coming years may make major changes in the development of organic production in the world. These trends include both the territory where the production of organic products is already being practiced, and theoretical promising territories, from the point of view of the prospects for the development of agriculture.
