Popis: The purpose of the study is to analyze and evaluate theoretical and methodological approaches to the interpretation of the concept of “organic food” and its use in economic practice. The objectives of the study are: to determine the essence and content of the concept of “organic food”; assessment of the practice of its use in labeling; identifying its inherent internal contradictions and its relationship with other terms (“bioproduct”, “ecologically clean product”, “natural product”, etc.). Methods. Methods of expert-analytical, program-targeted, structural-functional, systemic, comparative, morphological and comparative analysis and evaluation of the concepts of “environmentally friendly products”, “bioproducts” and “organic food” were used. Scientific novelty consists in identifying and critically analyzing the causes and consequences of contradictions regarding the practice of using the label “organic food” and substantiating the need for their adjustment in accordance with the National Doctrine of Food Security of the Russian Federation. The theoretical and methodological significance of the study lies in the clarification and definition of the necessary scientific approaches to the categorical apparatus in the field of food issues. The practical significance of the study is determined by the real nature of consumer demand for “environmentally safe food” and consists in the possibility of using the proposed recommendations to improve such safety and further develop a culture of consumption.
