INCREASING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENTS FOR ORGANIC FARMING

Abstract

The article analyzes the effectiveness of scientific and technical developments in obtaining biologically pure products in agriculture, identifies aspects of improving the effectiveness of scientific and technical developments in the agricultural sector used in obtaining agricultural products in organic farming, in particular, the specifics of the development agricultural machines and tools for organic agriculture, the conditions that the developed equipment must satisfy are determined. The analysis of factors contributing to the increase in the cost of work on the creation of a single technical tool for the conditions of organic farming was carried out. The proportions that have developed at the present time in the structure of R&D performed in the agricultural engineering industry are also considered. It is concluded that insufficient attention is paid to the work on the creation of a strategic scientific and technical reserve, inertia of R&D subjects and organizational and staff structures of the sectoral research institutes of agricultural engineering. The necessity of creating organizational forms of integration of science and production, which allow for a clear and quick passage of ideas from their inception to widespread use in practice, the widespread use of new progressive forms of organization of scientific activity is considered. Measures are proposed to improve the systematic organization of R&D management. The necessity of introducing documents on the procedure for conducting joint work on the creation of new types of agricultural machinery, carried out by subordinate research and technological organizations, is shown. A significant place in the article is given to the directions and results of the work of Kazan State Agrarian University in the field of R&D and its contribution to the scientific support of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Tatarstan and the Russian Federation. The currently used forms of R&D integration are considered from the point of view of the completeness of coverage of all potential performers, especially the academic and university sectors of science. Ways are proposed to expand the communication systems for scientific and technical cooperation through the widespread use of forms of interdepartmental cooperation, using progressive developments in the field of scientific and technical developments of Russian research institutes and educational institutions. Recommendations are proposed to increase the amount of funding for work on creating a strategic scientific and technical reserve in agricultural machinery and the implementation of a certain economic management mechanism. It is concluded that there are all the necessary prerequisites for a decisive transition to fundamentally new technologies, machines and tools in organic agricultural production, a significant improvement in the organization of work on their creation and implementation, which will dramatically accelerate the pace of scientific and technological progress in the industry.
