Abstract: With the development of globalization, the international community faces the emergence of new risks of natural resources management. The priority is the issue of consumption and production of ecologically clean food which is safe for human health and the environment. The abstract-logical, calculation, constructive and monographic research methods enabled identifying the following principles of organic agriculture: the principle of health, principle of ecology, the principle of fairness to all natural resources and the principle of care for human welfare and the environmental equilibrium. The organic farming technologies significantly reduce the costs of mineral fertilizer application and chemical plant protection while increasing the costs of fuel and lubricants. The cultivation of cereals and forage crops using organic technologies forms the basis for the output of animal products that meet the environmental standards of farming production. The development of the animal farming industry should be managed through the development of cooperatives within regional cluster structures that include micro-clusters based on the principles of business administration partnership, effective interaction of scientific, educational and industrial spheres. This requires the feasibility study of environmentally sound technologies, arrangement of organic product manufacture, conducting product veterinary and sanitary examination, market research and determination of the price level. The problems of organic product certification should be solved at the state level. The main factors that hinder the development of organic-oriented farming production in the region are as following: the Russian agricultural education lacks a comprehensive targeted system of theoretical knowledge and practical training aimed to the organization of organically focused farming production; a low level of development of the organic product market.
