Mindlin Yurii Borisovich

According to the author, the most promising direction of sustainable agricultural production is the development on the basis of innovative development of cooperation and integration processes. The main objective of this mechanism is the realization of opportunities for the widespread use of innovative technologies in the relevant socio-economic environment. On this way there are certain obstacles in the form of weak diversification and low technical level of production; lack of access to financial, logistical and information resources, low production and insufficient profits. This problem can be solved with the participation of agricultural producers by involving them in integrated production and cooperative activities.
