Current state and problems of development of organic gardening in Russia

Currently, there is a clear overproduction of apples in the world. This dictates to commodity producers the need to use innovative approaches to the development of horticulture in order to increase the competitiveness of their products in the market. Modern approaches to the conduct of world agriculture are based on the principles of the development of organic production. The overseas markets for environmentally friendly products are developing rapidly. Much attention is paid to the promotion of organic fruits on the market. In Russia, organic gardening is just gaining ground. The regulatory and legal framework for organic production is being developed, conversion processes are being carried out at producers of horticultural products, and environmentally friendly production of fruits is created and certified. Currently, only a few horticultural organizations have passed the certification procedure and are engaged in the production of environmentally friendly products. The development of the process of organizing organic fruit production is constrained by a number of factors, the main of which are the lack of domestic experience in organizing and conducting organic gardening, the underdevelopment of the market for organic products, and the lack of state support for the industrial production of organic fruits. The article discusses the importance of organic gardening, the state and problems of the development of environmentally friendly fruit production in Russia, the features of organic gardening, the efficiency of the production of environmentally friendly gardening products. The main directions for the development of organic gardening in the country are proposed, the main of which are technological and technical support for the development of the industry, information support for commodity producers, marketing of organic products, effective government support for organic gardening.

Postscript: the future history of the garden

Planting and garden design have never stood still, in part because fashions change, but also because of external factors. The most conspicuous fashion in recent decades has been the rise of organic gardening, a movement originating in the 1920s, which aspires to sustainability achieved by a synergy with natural systems of soil enrichment and pest and disease control. Another driver of change is the reduction in biodiversity. The Postscript considers the likely impact of climate change on garden design and suggests gardens will continue to evolve, as they have since remote antiquity. Garden design will adapt to changing conditions, but gardens will continue to provide havens of beauty and respite for the weary.

Of Raspberries and Religion

At the Monastery of St. Gertrude in Cottonwood, Idaho, evolving foodways have enabled Benedictine nuns to adapt to their evolving role as religious women over the past century. Early spare, simple foods reflected strict monastic practices inherited from the nuns’ enclosed European order, but physical labor and bishops’ insistence on outside service soon necessitated a more rich and balanced diet. After Vatican II, new mealtime practices that allowed sisters to converse during meals and choose dining companions (versus sitting in rank order in silence) helped them adjust to a new ethos of cooperative community. As the convent added a retreat ministry and mature professional women joined, mealtime options proliferated and old foodways were challenged. A contemporary emphasis on social justice and land stewardship is reflected in commitment to organic gardening and to purchasing food local, seasonal, fair-trade food. Cultivating the convent's extensive raspberry garden, in particular, invites these modern nuns to simultaneously affirm their continuing commitment to core Benedictine values and to the spirit of their patron, St. Gertrude of Helfta, and also to contemporary priorities.
