THE INFLUENCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL WORLDVIEW OF THE FOUNDERS OF ORGANIC FARMING ON ITS FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT

The integrated approach in philosophy, which is currently becoming increasingly widespread, emphasizes the need to take into account when studying any phenomenon/process not only the objective indicators inherent in the scientific approach, but also the subjective intra-psychological or worldview guidelines of the researchers themselves. From these positions, the individual worldview positions of the founders of world organic farming A. Howard, R. Steiner, M. Fukuoka and some other figures in this field of agriculture are considered. The conditions for the spread of organic farming in Ukraine are also outlined; examples of Ukrainian farms practicing organic farming methods.
