About agricultural products, raw materials and food with improved characteristics (scientific commentary on the Federal Law)

Abstract

Abstract The production of ecological agricultural products in all countries of the world is one of the main tasks of the further existence of society. Nowadays, this direction is usually called the “green economy”. But, if in many European countries this direction has been developing quite successfully for several decades, then in Russia it is only at the initial stage of development. Our country occupies 12% of the entire world territory and has a favorable geographical position between Europe and Asia. And now Russia must occupy its own niche in the world market for the production of environmentally friendly products. For this, a number of legislative acts and federal laws were adopted in the country aimed at creating environmentally friendly agricultural products and in industrial production. Adopted on June 11, 2021, Federal Law No. 159-FZ “On agricultural products, raw materials and food with improved characteristics” [1] establishes the legal basis for the implementation of agricultural and other activities related to the production, storage, transportation and sale of agricultural products, food, industrial and other products with improved characteristics.
