Financial Support for Organic Agricultural Production: Experience of Some EU Countries and Prospects for Ukraine

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to study financial support for creating and operating farms that produce organic products in certain EU countries and to provide proposals for implementing financial support measures in Ukraine during the war and post-war period. To achieve this goal, the following research methods were used: hermeneutic semantic analysis, systemicstructural analysis, comparative legal method, etc. The hermeneutic semantic analysis was used to study financial support for creating organic farms in Ukraine. Proposals were made to support organic farming in Ukraine using the systemic-structural analysis based on the experience of different countries. The comparative legal method was used when considering financial support for creating organic farms in some EU countries (Poland, Spain, Austria, Denmark, The Netherlands, and Romania). The scientific novelty lies in the study of financial support for the creation of organic farms in some EU countries and Ukraine, as well as in the provision of proposals for the implementation and receipt of financial support for farms producing organic products in war and post-war Ukraine. The paper pointed out the need for Ukrainian farms to organize effective legal work, manifesting in the high-quality and timely development of the necessary documents and in the preparation and approval by the state of programs to assist farms in their creation and production of organic products.
