About Modern Problems of Ecologization of Nature Management in the Agro-Industrial Complex of Russia

The article analyzes the issues of environmental management in the Russian agro-industrial complex. It is shown that the current lack of economic interest of the agricultural producers in the development of nature-saving production technologies, in preservation of their own resource potential hinders the implementation of measures for the greening of agricultural production. The reason for this is the use of imperfect technologies for saving natural resources for industrial purposes. The known nonlinear dependence of economic efficiency on the volume of investment in production, manifested in varying degrees of return at different intervals of the scale of investments, is also characteristic of the processes of economic nature management. We propose to expand the list of economic regulators of resource and environmental conservation in agriculture, which increases the interest of enterprises in the use of new methods of conservation of resources, contributes to the economically justified productivity of their use. The recommended measures to stimulate this process are partly similar to the practice of  subsidizing unprofitable production, but have the significant difference that funds intended for the development of advanced technologies of environmental management should be allocated from the regional and Federal budgets only for farms using environmentally oriented methods of production.
