Tools for the formation of a “favorable environment” for organic production as a prerequisite for the sustainable development of agriculture in Ukraine

The significance of protection of environmental components (soil, water, air, biodiversity, landscape) in global aspect directs the development towards sustainable agriculture, and organic production in particular. Organic production as a way of achieving sustainable growth is determined in the three main aspects of sustainable development: economic, social and ecologic sustainability. The conducted in the article analysis of statistical data on the development of domestic market of organic agricultural products shows that organic production in Ukraine is developing at a fast pace and stays one of the priorities for the further development of agro-industrial complex. At the same time, difficult current conditions of functioning of domestic organic enterprises can influence negatively the further development of this sphere, that will result in decrease of organic products export and will have negative impact on food security of other countries. Considering the mentioned, the purpose of the article is the substantiation of tools and measures which will ensure the formation of favorable environment for conducting organic production in the war and post-war periods. With the aim of systematization of the tools for the formation of “favorable environment” for the development of organic agricultural production their study is conducted with further grouping into regulatory and legal, political, stimulating and compensatory, fiscal and restrictive, financial and investment, infrastructural, informational, social and cultural, marketing, and digital. In the course of further research, within each group of tools a specific list of measures that must be implemented to simulate the development of organic agriculture and the circle of subjects responsible for their implementation were determined. It was proven that the formation and implementation of the defined tools and measures should take place at the international, national, regional, and local levels. The content characteristics of each group of tools, which are highlighted in the article, are important guidelines for the formation of effective state social and economic policy and international cooperation development in the conditions of aggravation of influence of global challenges and provide the certain opportunity for definition of ways of their improvement.


Introduction
Within the framework of sustainable development concept, the scientific and expert environment offer to implement the set of balanced goals and strategies of regional, national, and industrial development, aimed at solving modern ecological, economic, and social challenges, that acutely faced humanity [1].Today, the issue of environmentalization of world countries' economies as well as of Ukraine's economy is especially relevant.In our country the processes of environmental 1254 (2023) 012124 IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1254/1/012124 2 pollution as a result of military operations take place in many regions of the country, and the natural environment changed by man does not always have a positive effect on society.
The importance of this problem, among other things, is related to the growth of the world population and the need to solve threats to food security, as well as to the climate changes.One of the ways of solving the mentioned problems is the implementation of environmentally safe ways of agricultural production, namely organic production [1].It is organic agriculture that provides an opportunity to agree and harmonize environmental, economic, and social goals in the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy [2].
Organic production as a way of achieving sustainable growth is determined in the three main aspects of sustainable development: economic sustainability -increasing competitiveness, strong market orientation and increased incomes; social sustainability -bigger responsibility towards consumers' demands, improving food quality and safety; regional development; ecologic sustainability -unified framework, effective implementation and control, standards of protection of environment and health [3].
The essence of the concept of "organic production" is revealed in a number of regulatory documents.According to the law of Ukraine "On the main principles and requirements towards organic production, circulation and labelling of organic products", organic production defined as the certified activity that involves production of agricultural products (covering all stages of technological process, namely primary production (including harvesting), preparation, handling, mixing and procedures related to it, filling, packing, processing, recovery and other alterations to the state of the products), performed in compliance with legal requirements in the sphere of organic production, circulation and labelling of organic products [4].
EU Commission Regulation 2018/848 defined organic production as an overall system of farm management and food production that combines best environmental and climate action practices, a high level of biodiversity, the preservation of natural resources and the application of high animal welfare standards and high production standards in line with the demand of a growing number of consumers for products produced using natural substances and processes [5].
Thus, the requirement for organic agriculture include not only compliance with environmental standards of product purity, but also of the environment.It ensures the balanced state of ecological system, which is the basis for sustainable development of economic and social sphere.
World experience proves that the introduction of environmentally friendly technologies in the production of agricultural products allows to increase the level of their profitability and competitiveness, reduce the production costs of enterprises, create a basis for environmentally safe development of the economy, additional jobs in rural areas and new prospects for small and medium-sized farms, to raise the standard of living and health of the population, to switch to a scientifically substantiated system of land use, etc.
Furthermore, organic production is considered in two aspects of protection: environmental protection by using management practices that do not have adverse effects on environment, and the health of consumers -by the provision of organic products [6].
The development of various laws, regulations, programs, and concepts is a significant confirmation of the acuteness of the raised problem regarding the need to activate environmentally oriented entrepreneurship for the purpose of sustainable development of agriculture.On March 3, 2021 the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved "The National Economic Strategy until 2030", which officially sets the goal for % of land under organic production.According to the strategy, it is planned that the percentage of lands with organic status should be at least 3 % (now, this figure is 1 %) of the total area of agricultural lands in Ukraine, which is approximately 1.3 million hectares [7].The European Union intends to increase the organic farming area up to 25 % by 2030 (now, this figure is 8 %).Simultaneously, at least 10 % of agricultural land should be converted into "living areas" with a high biological diversity [8].
Thus, the expediency of implementation and spread of organic production in the world as well as in Ukraine is beyond any doubt.At the same time, in order to promote the development of domestic organic agriculture, it is necessary to create a favorable environment through the justification and implementation of appropriate tools, taking into account the effect of martial law on the territory of our country.

Literature review
The scientific and applied problems of the development of organic agriculture were constantly in the field of view of many Ukrainian and foreign scientists.Thus, Shkuratov et al [2] dedicate their work to the study of theoretical and methodical foundations of ecological and economic prerequisites of organic agriculture development.The authors propose the ways of increasing the efficiency of production of organic agricultural products and substantiate the directions of formation of a system of ecological and economic imperatives of the development of organic agriculture, which should become a guideline for the state government and local self-government during the design of the organic farming development program.
Shulyak [9] defines the following tool of regulating and activating of ecologically oriented entrepreneurship on rural territories: coercive-restrictive, stimulating and compensatory, financial, informational, social and psychological, market (marketing).In the opinion of the author, the configuration of the outlined measures, focused on a three-level system of formation and implementation (national, regional, local levels), will enable the coordination of environmental and economic interests of business entities.
Hranovska [10] substantiates the necessity of formation of the mechanism of stimulating of organic production by agricultural enterprises on the basis of implementation of following tools: subsidial (preferential crediting, preferential taxation, budget payments, compensations, subsidies, price premiums, co-financing of scientific and research developments); infrastructural (creation of production and sales chains, development of rural territories, formation of laboratories and quality assessment centers, conduction of marketing research, activation of various economic agricultural formations); informational (establishment of information centers, public organizations, development of agricultural parks, eco-villages and ethnic centers); legal (certification, insurance, legal aid, activation of development and implementation of state programs for development and stimulating organic production).
The study of Hou et al [11] is one of the few studies that comprehensively examines the impact of macro-level factors on organic production in the U.S. Specifically, this research looks at the determinants including macroeconomic factors, policy factors, demographic factors, and agricultural input factors that cover many aspects of organic farming.The multivariate analytical framework with multiple year data enables this study to examine whether a series of factors can effectively promote organic farming and by how much.This study provides evidence using state-level observations and a robust econometric method to further support the findings of relevant literature.
It should also be mentioned that a significant amount of research is devoted to the issues of state regulation of development of organic production in Ukraine.Thus, Hvozd [12] provides a scheme of organizational and economic mechanism of state regulation of the organic agricultural production market in Ukraine.The author also substantiates its legal (Laws and Resolutions of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, normative acts and state standards of organic production, Private organic standards), normative (institutions, regulations, methodical recommendations), economic (crediting, material and technical support, budget policy, taxation, pricing, agricultural insurance), administrative (antimonopoly policy, standardization, quotas, production certification, environmental control, licensing), institutional support (state authorities, international organizations, associations of enterprises, organizations for the protection of consumer rights, regional bodies of influence on the vector of development of the food sector).
At the same time the relevance of the research in the sphere of organic production development as of an important constituent of sustainable development of rural territories and of a strategically important direction of agricultural business in Ukraine objectively indicates the need for a thorough study of its individual aspects, in particular, regarding the theoretical vision of tools for creating a favorable environment for its management in the war and post-war periods.

Objective of the research
The purpose of the research is the substantiation of conceptual foundations of formation of a favorable environment for the development of organic agriculture in Ukraine considering current conditions of martial law.The set purpose involves solving the following tasks: study of the trends of organic production sphere development; identification of tools which have a decisive influence on the formation of a favorable environment for the development of organic production; substantiation of specific measures within individual tools and definition of the subjects responsible for their implementation.

Results
Today, organic production is developing in almost all countries of the world and is promising for further development in Ukraine as well.Constantly growing consumer demands for organic products, as well as the global trends towards sustainable farming, allow Ukraine to be the active participant in the world organic market.The organization of the effective output of organic products in the management system of the agrarian nature remains relevant and is considered as one of the major ways of the agricultural production ecologization [13].
According to the latest operational monitoring data which the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine (MAPF) collected from certification bodies that certified organic production and circulation of organic products in Ukraine (EU Regulation and NOP) as of the end of 2021, the total area of organic and inconversion agricultural lands in Ukraine was 422,299 hectares (including organic agricultural area 370,110 hectares).Organic agricultural land remains 1 % of the total agricultural area in the country.The number of organic operators in 2021 was 528, with 418 agricultural producers among them [14].These operators include producers, processing companies, importers, and exporters of organic products (figure 1).
Over the past four years, the number of organic operators has been on a downward trend (table 1).In particular, in 2021, compared to 2020, their number decreased by 21 units (or by 3.8 %).
The data show that during 2016-2020 the area of agricultural lands with organic status has increased more than 2 times (by 104.3 %).But in 2021 the decrease of the land area by 9.9 % (26054 ha) is observed comparing to the previous year.
Unfortunately, it is expected that the area of organic lands will shrink in 2022 as a significant part is occupied in the southern regions of the country.Since the beginning of the full-scale war, about 120,000 hectares of certified organic land were lost, especially in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts [14].
As for the Ukraine's organic domestic market it has been growing slowly but steadily, despite different challenging economic circumstances.A total of 9,780 tons of organic products (which is 11.4 % more than in 2020) at a value of UAH 900 million are estimated to have been sold on the domestic market in 2021, equivalent to 33 million USD at the National Bank of Ukraine exchange rate as of December 31, 2021.
Even though Ukrainians consume much less organic products (less than 1 euro per capita) than residents of EU countries and Switzerland, the interest in more natural and healthy foods has been growing [14].In recent years, Ukraine has consolidated its position as a world leader in the supply of organic products to the EU as well as an important player for other international organic markets and has taken an important place in ensuring a sustainable food system and food security in the world [14].Thus, in 2021 Ukraine exported about 261,000 tons of organic products worth USD 222 million to over 30 counties, 82 % of which were exported to the EU [15].
At the same time in 2021 Ukraine slightly reduced the export volumes to the EU (189,239 tons in 2021 compared to 217,210 tons in 2020), but it still remained among TOP 5 organic suppliers to the EU.The total share of Ukrainian organic imports was 6.6 % in 2021.
As for the imports from Ukraine, it ranked No 1 by organic import volumes of cereals (other than wheat and rice), and was among TOP 3 suppliers of oilcakes, oilseeds and soybeans.In addition, Ukraine moved up into the second place by organic import volumes of fruit (fresh or dried fruit and berries, excluding citrus and tropical fruit).
The full-scale war that Russia started against Ukraine in 2022 caused colossal losses to the organic sector, however, it did not prevent Ukraine from maintaining its leadership position in the export of organic products.Thus, despite the temporary occupation of one-third of the organic land, hostilities, and problems with logistics, during the 8 months of 2022, Ukraine exported 24 % more organic products compared to the same period in 2021 [14].
Today the development of organic market in Ukraine is one of the priority directions of the agriculture development.Statistical data evidences that our country has reached certain results in the development of its own organic production, possessing favorable conditions for organic agriculture, including the size of the country, geographical location, proximity to potential export markets, large area with fertile soils.
At the same time, since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the Ukrainian organic sector, and the entire agrarian industry, has been suffering from Russian aggression.Problems include occupied land; mined fields; destroyed farms, warehouses, and infrastructure; lack of fuel and vehicles; and domestic demand that has nosedived.After the Northern regions and some districts in the Southern regions were liberated, organic operators started to resume their activities there, and some of them relocated their businesses to other regions.Organic producers in other regions did not stop their activities or stopped for a very short time.
Organic production as a sector having a great potential for making significant contributions to sustainable development (and thus put as a priority in a number different levels, especially by the European Union and international community) leads to various positive influences on environment, society and economy [17].
Considering the above, the urgent issue is the creation of a "favorable environment" for functioning of organic production with the purpose of formation of an effective strategy for its development in the conditions of martial law, aimed at the production of environmentally safe products, increasing the competitiveness of agricultural entities in the internal and foreign markets.
In accordance with the Protocol on Sustainable Development of Agriculture and Rural Areas to the Framework Convention on the Protection and Sustainable Development of the Carpathians, "favorable environment" is a complex of interrelated conditions, such as: legal, organizational, fiscal, informational, political, and cultural which contribute to sustainable and efficient use of participants' opportunities in development processes.In this document it is also defined that "sustainable agricultural and rural development" is a management and conservation of the base of natural resources, as well as orientation of technological and institutional changes in order to ensure the achievement and constant satisfaction of human needs of the present and future generations [18].
Shkuratov et al [2] have provided the systematization of the factors of impact on the development of organic agricultural products, which is based on their division into four main functional groups according to the following characteristics: organizational and legal, financial and economic, technological, and social and psychological, and provides the opportunity to improve and form efficient measures of the development and implementation of the organic agricultural products system taking into account the sphere of influence of such factors.
In general, the conducted literature review shows that scientists have not formed a single approach to the systematization of tools that must be used to create a favorable environment for the development of organic agriculture.
Taking into account the existing views of scientists and the current complex conditions of the functioning of organic enterprises, we consider it necessary to highlight the following tools that have a decisive influence on the formation of a favorable environment for the development of organic agriculture in Ukraine (table 2).Providing free access for economic entities to the regulatory base in the sphere of organic production and products circulation, formation of local environmental information and consulting centers; establishment of public organizations, environmental consulting, information dissemination among the consumers and operators and creation of a system of cooperation between them on the entire production chain -from the economic entity to the consumer.

Marketing
Popularization of organic production based on the organization of various events (exhibitions, fairs, conferences, etc.) to promote organic agriculture in the internal and foreign markets.Formation of the organic products market; development of ecological marketing; creation of ecological brands.

Digital
Saturation of agricultural business with such modern digital technologies as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, the use of big data (Big Data), robotization of production and management processes.

State, international partners, investors, economic entities
Legal regulation consists in the development and adoption of laws, regulations, resolutions, requirements, and standards that establish legal, economic, social, and environmental rules for the cultivation, production, processing, certification, transportation, storage and sale of organic products.It is also responsible for fair competition on the market of organic products.
During last years government together with public organizations and international projects has been working on the improvement of legislative and regulatory framework.In particular, a set of legal documents was adopted, as well as amendments to the current legislative acts that regulate the sphere of certification and labeling of organic products in Ukraine were made [19].A significant landmark for Ukrainian organic legislation occurred in 2021, when amendments to the Law of Ukraine No 2496-VIII "On the main principles and requirements towards organic production, circulation and labelling of organic products" came into force.Together with the Law, adopted on July 10, 2018, this is the legal foundation of organic production, circulation, and labelling of organic products in Ukraine [14].Earlier manufacturers certified their production according to the legislation of other countries, mainly the EU.Now Ukraine will have its own certification system in accordance with national legislation.Such changes contribute to the development and transparency of the domestic organic sector and to the improvement of Ukraine's image in the world trade arena.At the same time, one of the urgent tasks is the further harmonization of Ukraine's legislation on the organic products manufacturing with the world certification systems.The compatibility of such systems will make it possible to expand the external market of organic products [19].
Besides it, considering European orientation of Ukraine and difficult conditions of functioning of domestic organic producers, there is an urgent need to develop and adopt national and regional programs for the development of organic production in Ukraine, as an environmentally, socially, and economically expedient direction of production activity.
The implementation of political instruments is manifested in the fact that the development of the Ukrainian organic sector has been also supported by different countries within international programs/projects of technical support.Representatives of these projects take an active part in the development of a legal framework that will effectively regulate the process of organic production.The largest of such projects are Project "German-Ukrainian Cooperation in Organic Agriculture" (COA) -Phase II, implemented by AFC Consultants International / IAK Agrar Consulting GmbH and funded by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL); Swiss-Ukrainian Program "Higher Value Added Trade from the Organic and Dairy Sector in Ukraine" (QFTP) implemented by the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) in partnership with SAFOSO AG and supported by Switzerland; Swiss-Ukrainian Program "Organic Trade 4 Development in Eastern Europe" (OT4D) supported by the Swiss State Secretariat of Economic Affairs (SECO) implemented by the IFOAM -Organics International in consortium with HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation and Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) and supported by Switzerland and other [14].It should be noted that thanks to the Swiss support Ukraine has managed to establish a committed organic stakeholder network with its own Organic Standard control body, Ukrainian organic web portal OrganicInfo, organic national policy dialogue, and agreed on the joint vision for Ukrainian organic sector development through Organic Initiative.
Under terms of martial law, the government attention should be concentrated on the creation of the conditions for international trade implementation, particularly, on finding export opportunities, new logistic solutions for supplying Ukrainian organic products to other countries, expanding sales markets.Solving these problems is possible due to system and effective cooperation of Ukrainian government and international partners.Efforts in the political arena should be directed to this.Despite the full-scale war and threats for the country Ukraine proceeds to contribute largely to the world's food safety.In particular, the sowing campaign of 2022 was carried out, alternative logistics routes were developed for the supply of Ukrainian agricultural products abroad.Considering the above, with the help of political instruments it is necessary to create conditions for the export of Ukrainian organic products through lobbying at the political level and promotion on the international arena, as well as solving the urgent needs of exporters of organic products.
With the help of stimulating and compensatory, and fiscal and restricting tools the state motivates manufacturers to production of organic agricultural products and establishes certain sanctions for violators of environmental norms in general and organic production requirements in particular with the aim of ensuring the presence of high-quality organic products on the market.
A system of grants, dotations, provision of land plots at a discounted price, etc. can be material incentives for manufacturers of organic products.Considering the complex economic conditions of functioning, implementation of these tools is one of the main stimulating factors, which contributes to the decision to switch to organic production.
It should be mentioned that currently the work in this direction continues.Thus, Organic Initiative launched the grant program "Support for the Organic Sector in Ukraine".The grant program's purpose is to support organic producers to overcome the current situation and preserve and strengthen the organic sector's capacity in the mid-and long-term.According to the results of the grant program's (two phases), about 120 organic market operators received support for a total amount of about 350,000 USD to cover costs for organic certification, purchasing organic food products from organic producers (with further distribution among IDPs, vulnerable populations, etc.), purchasing inputs, further development of the marketing activities at the domestic market, purchasing equipment, etc.A significant proportion of this support was provided by OT4D and QFTP programs [14].Within the fundraising campaign of the Future Foundation for Agriculture "Support for Emergency Aid Ukraine Organic Farming" 170 enterprises were supported, among them organic producers and organizations of the organic sector in total 560,000 Euro [20].
Implementation of the appropriate mechanisms for realization of functioning of the defined stimulating and compensatory tools for market operators should provide the access of organic products manufacturers to additional and released financial resources, at the expense of which they will be able to repay the received loans on time, to implement into production innovative technologies, aimed at increasing the ecological characteristics of the products and decreasing the environment pollution, to start timely the process of product certification according to organic standards, and in the future to reduce gradually the cost of products for the final consumer.All this will have a positive impact on the formation of investment attractiveness of the organic production enterprises, as well as will promote activation of their activity [21].
At the same time, in case of violation by producers of organic products of ecological requirements, penalties should be applied to them in the form of additional payments for environmental pollution, fees for non-compliance with cultivation technologies, fines for lowquality food products, deprivation of certification with the obligation to return funds for their certification, other financial sanctions.The set of fiscal and restrictive tools of state policy should be preventive in nature and should be aimed at ensuring compliance with production technology at all its stages by organic enterprises, in order to provide the production of high-quality and environmentally safe products.
Financial and investment tools should be singled out in a separate group, the implementation of which consists in the formation of specialized investment funds, environmental banks and programs; development of environmental insurance.The financial platform for the development of domestic environmentally oriented entrepreneurship is formed by special investment funds (institutional measures designed to direct targeted cash flows (income, profit) for the purposes of environmental protection and improvement), environmental banks and environmental programs.In addition, environmental business insurance (voluntary or state mandatory), i.e. civil liability insurance of business entities for damage caused as a result of economic activity, which causes increased environmental danger, is relevant and effective in modern conditions.Such a financial tool is a powerful method of encouragement and, at the same time, provides a condition for economic stimulation of business entities to function without harming the natural environment, or at least with minimal impact on it [9].
The results of the Organic Ukraine NGO survey of Ukrainian organic businesses, conducted in mid-March 2022, showed that 30 % of Ukrainian organic operators had to suspend their business activities and 70 % required financial support [14].That is why the issue of activation of financial and investment instruments for the development of organic production is currently acute.
Infrastructural tools for the formation of favorable environment should be aimed at ensuring higher quality and more effective process of implementation of chain "production -distributionsale", as well as at more efficient marketing policy for the system functioning of the organic agricultural production.Measures that must be implemented within this group of tools include: • creation of production and sales chains (first of all, the stress must be put on the objective formation of the organic chain and joint responsibility of the "producer -tradercertification body -state authorities" system); • rural territories development (purposeful change of institutional, economic, ecological, demographic, social, cultural, household, and other most important factors that determine directions and directly affect the growth of the level and quality of life of the rural population and ensure the prevention or overcoming of poverty); • formation of laboratories and quality assessment centers (formation of modern laboratories to assess the quality and safety of organic products, their analysis for compliance with current standards); • activation of various economic agricultural formations -participation in programs of development of organic production, communication with organic producers of global markets, etc.; • creation of an extensive system of certification bodies.
The formation of the necessary conditions for free access for economic entities to the ecological information, regulatory base, environmental passporting, programs of financial support, etc. is provided by informational tools.An important component is the formation of local information and consulting centers, the goals of which should be: shaping the environmental consciousness of citizens, providing environmental consulting, dissemination of the relevant information on the actual state of environment, popularization of the best practices of balanced development, introduction of environmental technologies, organization of different trainings, round tables, educational business seminars for different categories of participants -children and youth, students, educators, representatives of amalgamated territorial communities, employees of local self-government bodies, etc. [9].
Adequate public awareness can ensure support for government decisions that may otherwise be unpopular (for example, decisions to raise prices for natural resources or redirect public resources to improve the environment) [2].
An equally important role in creating a favorable environment for the development of organic agriculture is played by social and cultural tools, namely environmentally and socially oriented corporate culture and responsibility; activation of environmental education, especially in higher educational institutions; environmental ethics and consciousness of the entrepreneur and the whole society.Their implementation should promote increasing the level of professional knowledge, experience, and research in the respective economic sphere through the introduction of appropriate training courses on the theory and practice of organic production in educational institutions of various accreditation levels, the creation of modern research farms and the improvement of training of farmers and controllers.It is also necessary to choose several farms in each region, which would become pilots in the organization of agricultural production.
The popularization of organic production in Ukraine is important for formation of favorable environment of development and promotion of organic agriculture.Such popularization should be made on the basis of implementation of marketing tools and organization of various events: exhibitions, fairs, forums, seminars, conferences, etc.
It should be noted that Ukrainian agrarian sector was very active during all these years and organized a lot of events for promotion of organic agriculture.From year to year, the Ukrainian organic service providers in cooperation with each other, under the patronage of state and regional authorities organize numerous annual events to promote organic agriculture in the domestic market, usually supported by international development partners.Thus, the Organic Ukraine NGO hosted the "Organic Ukraine Regional Forums", which engaged all 24 Oblast State Administrations to the event organization in 2020 and 2021.For the 5th time, the International Congress Organic Ukraine11 and the 7th Organic Processing and Trade Conference12 were co-organized by Organic Ukraine, Organic Standard and Information Center "Green Dossier" in 2021.The Organic Federation of Ukraine organizes a specialized exhibition "ORGANIC" within the framework of the International Agroindustrial Exhibition "AGRO" which is always IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1254/1/01212412 accompanied by a special Organic Conference.Organic Products Fair was organized for the 11th time in Kyiv by the Organic Federation of Ukraine.
In these times, it is crucial that the international community knows and sees that Ukraine, its agricultural sector, and the organic sector in particular are operational, have a strong commitment to continue their organic production and trade, and have a positive attitude despite all the wartime difficulties.It is important for the whole country to prove that Ukrainian exporters can fulfil their contract obligations, regardless of various panicked information that is in the media about export disruptions from Ukraine, in order not to lose existing partners and to attract new ones.Therefore, on June 23, the EEPO, Organic Initiative, and other partners with Swiss support (QFTP and OT4D) held the international online event "Organic Export During the War" in order to provide existing and potential partners of Ukrainian exporters from abroad with reliable up-to-date information about the market condition and its capacities [14].
Today's relevant requirement is the digitalization of business-processes, including those in the sphere of organic production.At the same time, there should be a reduction in the use of manual labour in agricultural production and the saturation of agricultural business with such modern digital technologies as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, the use of big data (Big Data), robotization of production and management processes.Innovative digital tools that should be widely used in the sphere of organic production include the following: • 3D-printing technologies (the use of such innovative tool will allow to upgrade tools for repairing agricultural machinery, to use 3D parts during capital and ongoing repair of equipment); • blockchain technologies, with the help of which the consumer has the opportunity to access transparent and open information about the origin, production, processing, and transportation of the products he consumes.Such technologies make it possible to control the origin, quality, environmental friendliness of agricultural raw materials and food; • GNSS -Global Navigation Satellite System, which contributes to increasing the quality of performance of all technological operations in crop production; • the use of unmanned aerial vehicles and drones helps to carry out quality monitoring of soil condition, the level of quality of performed agricultural operations, and allows to predict the volume and quality of agricultural crops harvest as accurately as possible.
The effects of digitalization of agricultural activities envisage all three approaches of sustainability -economic, ecological and social; they are interdependent and synergic.
Each of the mentioned above groups of tools influences the level of saturation of the market with organic products, restraining or promoting its development.
Formation of the tools and means of influence on the processes of development of environmentally oriented entrepreneurship should be performed on the principles of systematicity, economic expediency, compromise, security, environmental responsibility, monitoring and control.Involving economic, ecological, organizational, regulative, and financial mechanisms and influence levers with the use of different implementation methods will allow to obtain synergetic effect from their implementation.

Conclusions
In order to provide the concept of agricultural production sustainable development in Ukraine and in the world at the current stage, while forming a military economy, choosing a strategy for the development of business entities in the post-war period, it is necessary to concentrate not only on obtaining profits, but also on taking care of the preservation of the environment and the social development of society.The organic agricultural production direction is one of the perspective ways of development of agricultural sector of economy, which will allow any country to achieve sustainable social and economic development, and a set of other advantages.Organic production allows to implement the concept of balanced development of the agricultural sphere on the basis of social and economic, natural and resource balance and aims to provide society with safe and high-quality food products, as well as to preserve and improve the state of the environment.
The conducted research shows that Ukrainian organic products are perspective for export to the EU countries and globally.At the same time, compared to global trends, due to the negative impact of a number of subjective reasons, the development of Ukrainian organic agricultural production lags behind significantly, that may form a negative influence on the export potential of the country and on the volumes of organics supplies abroad.Considering this, the development of organic agricultural production requires the creation of a favorable environment for producers and consumers of organic products, aimed at supporting this direction, which will include both direct and indirect stimulation tools.
The scientific novelty of the research consists in the systematic solution of the important scientific problem about the formation and improvement of tools and measures, the complex implementation of which will provide for creation of the favorable environment for development of organic agriculture.The author also defined the circle of responsible persons who should contribute to the implementation of outlined tools and measures.
The research of the tools for the formation of a "favorable environment" for organic agricultural production development is conducted by the author with the aim of their systematization and further grouping into regulatory and legal, political, stimulating and compensatory, fiscal and restrictive, financial and investment, infrastructural, informational, social and cultural, marketing, and digital.During the detailed analysis the necessity to implement these tools in complex was proven.The implementation of the proposed tools will contribute to the development of organic agricultural production, increasing the efficiency of activities of agricultural enterprises and their competitiveness on regional markets, as well as on the external markets, with simultaneous economic growth, social development, and an increase in the level of environmental security of countries.The content characteristics of each group of tools, which are highlighted in the article, are important guidelines for the formation of effective state economic policy in the conditions of aggravation of influence of global challenges and provide the certain opportunity for definition of ways of their improvement.
