Abstract

The paper discusses the importance of studying foreign experiences in improving ecological agriculture and the system of organic product cultivation. It is viewed as a crucial direction for diversifying the economy. This approach is aimed at transitioning enterprises towards the production and processing of ecological products, moving agriculture towards sustainable development, enhancing the competitiveness of products, increasing employment in rural areas, and improving the ecological-economic efficiency of production. The paper focuses on agricultural sustainability, organic farming, and economic diversification in the context of ecological product cultivation and processing. The case of cotton production in the transition to organic farming is analyzed, and recommendations are provided.
