Abstract   |   Authors   |   References
Innovative modernization of Russia’s dairy industry is a key factor in ensuring the country’s food and environmental security in the context of increasing export orientation. The goal of our research is to substantiate the concept for development of the dairy industry in Russia and to develop forecast scenarios for its functioning based on the introduction of the best available technologies. The paper reveals specific features of functioning of the industry and the contradictions they cause. We conclude that effective development of the industry is possible only under balanced state policy that takes into account international experience and the challenges that the industry has to deal with. We analyze the use of the best available technologies in the dairy industry in Russia and propose a model for development of the concept of the dairy industry on the basis of the best available technologies. Our scenarios for development of Russia’s dairy industry are of practical interest, as well as our conclusion that the state policy for the development of this industry should be based on an innovative scenario involving its system modernization, which will help ensure food and environmental security of the country and promote dairy products exports. We note that the development and implementation of the best available technologies at enterprises of the dairy industry with the use of foreign experience and tools of state regulation can serve as a response to the system-wide and rapid transformations that are taking place in the industry at the present time. The material of the paper can be used in the educational process in universities; it is relevant for managers and specialists of the dairy industry and for scientists involved in its development through the use of the best available technologies
