ORGANIZATIONAL AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF CROP AND LIVESTOCK INTEGRATION IN REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE

Abstract

This article examines the organizational and economic efficiency of integrating crop and livestock production within regenerative agriculture. The study analyzes opportunities for resource exchange between crop and livestock sectors, the reuse of production residues, restoration of soil fertility, strengthening of the feed base, and reduction of production costs. The organizational and economic aspects of the rational use of land, water, labor, and material resources, reduction of production costs, diversification of farm income, and improvement of economic sustainability through an integrated farming model are substantiated. The study also highlights the environmental and economic advantages of regenerative agriculture compared with conventional farming systems, particularly in terms of maintaining the natural cycling of organic matter, reducing dependence on external inputs, and improving production efficiency.
