Ensuring the transition to rational consumption and production patterns is an important task for all countries, as well as for the domestic market of Kazakhstan. For rational consumption and production, the development of organic production in Kazakhstan is a priority. Organic production primarily involves closed waste-free production. It relies on ecological processes, biological diversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, and does not use non-renewable resources. Organic agriculture is aimed at restoring and maintaining the health of affected facilities and the entire planet in the future.
