This work's purpose is to study the industrial composting of organic waste as an environment for the development of research and production cooperation. The problem of the organic waste processing of the agro-industrial complex and housing and public services is one of the key factors of environmental safety while having a high potential for the introduction of innovative biotechnologies. In the western world, organic waste is practically not subjected to unsafe disposal for the environment, instead of being the raw material for bioconversion into environmentally sound substances, including those subject to further profitable use in agricultural and industrial production. The scalability and replicability of these biotechnologies allow them to be adapted for implementation in Russian conditions. The technologies of bioconversion of agricultural and municipal organic waste, represented primarily by wastewater mud of different chemical composition, as well as livestock breeding complex and litter manure, based on their processing by earthworms, specialty crops of microfauna and microflora, were studied, for which the methodology of system analysis, comparative and monographic methods were used. The result of the work is the generalization and system integration of the most advanced experience of biotechnological processing of organic waste, which allowed to develop a provisional concept of expanded reproduction of soil fertility as a binary ecological and economic system and to offer innovative technologies for the processing of organic waste, adapted to Russian conditions.
The research aims at studying the expanded reproduction of soil fertility as the main factor of inclusive green economy adoption in agriculture. Ecological, economic, and social aspects of expanded reproduction of soil fertility are investigated from the viewpoint of the theory of reproduction, which shows a predominantly inverse correlation between capital reproduction and soil fertility reproduction in conventional agriculture. Organic agriculture, inherently characterized by low yields of agricultural crops at increased production costs, at the same time ensures an expanded reproduction of soil fertility. However, expanded reproduction of capital is possible only through the introduction of intensive innovative technologies allowed by national and international regulations for the production of organic food. Therefore, organic farming is of particular science intensity in terms of biological protection of plants, resource-saving regimes and irrigation technologies, the use of more efficient and environmentally friendly organic fertilizers as compared to manure. Scientific and industrial cooperation in the implementation of these end-to-end technologies will create the reverse effect of decoupling resulting in the loss of direct correlation between expanded reproduction of soil fertility and reduction in farmers' capitals. Due to this, the practice will be widely applicable in the sustainable development of organic farming and green economy.
