The process of embryogenesis and technological experimental protocol has been studied and applied to produce doubled haploid plants from microspore cultured in vitro in broccoli B. oleracea L. convar. botrytis (L.) Alef. var. italica Plenck. It was shown that successful embryoid development occurred from microspore isolated from buds 4-5 mm long, containing microspores at late vacuolated stage and pollen grain at twocell stage. The optimal temperature of treatment was 32 Cᵒ within 2 days after culture was launched. The embryoids were produced from the following broccoli accessions: Arcadia F1, Everest, Green Valiant, Marathon F1, and Furio. The highest embryoid yield was obtained from accession Green Valiant, and consisted of 140 embryoids per Petri dish, whereas the lowest yield was in Furio, up to 3 embryoids per Petri dish. The first microspore division was observed in all accessions in 2-3 days of cultivation. Further development of embryoids went either directly into usual embryoid or into suspensor-like structures. The embryoids with suspensor developed more slowly than embryoids without one. We observed the embryoid formation not only at distal end towards microspore originated the suspensor-like structure but also the formation of chain of embryoids, and all variation of twin embryoid combinations. The study of process of embryogenesis in isolated microspores in vitro showed that this method can be used both to produce doubled haploid plants and study the developmental stages of zygotic embryos and suspensors.

The study of the correlation relationship between the signs, the informativeness of the indicators makes it possible to conduct a preliminary assessment of the plants and more objectively to identify forms with high economically valuable characteristics. Their integrated assessment will identify the best source material for further selection. In literary sources, information on the correlation in broccoli between yields and its elements are not the same. The purpose of our study was to analyze the contingency of various traits and to identify significant correlation links between quantitative traits in broccoli hybrids (42 samples). They were obtained using doubled haploid lines (DH-line) of early maturity at 2 planting dates (spring and summer). Studies were conducted in the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region in field experience in 2015, 2016. Significant influence on growth and development was provided by the developing weather conditions during the growing period. The fluctuation of humidification and temperature conditions differed significantly during the years of study and the time of planting, which is an important circumstance for analyzing the data obtained. Based on the results of the research, it was concluded that the value of the correlation coefficient and the strength of the correlation relationship between the characteristics (mass, diameter, head height, plant height, vegetation period) are different and depend on the set of test specimens and growing conditions. A significant stable manifestation of positive correlation was revealed during all the years of research and the time of planting between the diameter and mass of the head (r = 0.45-0.96). The variability of the correlation of other economically valuable traits is marked.

The results of estimation of growth and development parameters, SSR analysis, electron microscopic examination of the surface of pollen and seeds, biochemical composition (ascorbic acid, carotenoids, carotenes, macro- and microelements content in the stem part of plant) of 8 Chinese broccoli, Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra samples grown in the unheated greenhouse of the Central Siberian Botanical Garden SB RAS, Novosibirsk (54°49′33″ N, 83°06′34″ E) and phy- totron of N. I. Vavilov Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR) have been presented. Through the study, the large surface cellularity of B.oleracea var. alboglabra (cv. “Siji Xianggu jie lan” [“SX”]) seeds was similar with seed coat surface of B.oleraceae var. capitata f. alba cv. "Slava". A scanning electron microscopic study of Chinese broccoli pollen (cv. “SX”) revealed the formation of colpate pollen with ellipsoidal shape with a size of 32.9 ± 0.76 x 17.8 ± 0.42 μm, characterized by foveolate ornamentation with a length-to-diameter ratio – 1.85.The duration of the period from emergence stage to thickening of a stalk and flower-bud formation of cv. “SX” continued for 49-54 days. Сlose correlation was established between the largest diameter of the stem and the length of the leaf petiole (r=0,87, p < 0,001) and between the length of the leaf petiole and the weight of the stem (r=0,77, p < 0,001). As a result of molecular screening of Chinese broccoli using 5 SSR markers (Na10D09, Ol12F02, Ra2E12, BC 7 и BC 65) the greatest polymorphism was in the test with the BC 7 marker - five alleles from 160 to 295 bp in size. In the “SX” variety single flowering (10%) occurred on 59 ... 63 day and mass flowering (75%) – on 65 ... 68 day. The stem part of B. oleracea var. alboglabra is a fairly good source of vitamin C, accumulating as much as 32-46 mg/100 g, and also increased concentration of K, Ca, Mg and Cu. At the end of the season the fruits, together with the phytomass of stems are well-seasoned for 3-4 weeks forming viable seeds with germination above 85% corresponding to the Russian state standard (GOST 32592-2013) for white cabbage seeds.

Selection based on interspecific hybridization of fundamentally new plant forms with a unique combination of genetic material allows expanding the scope of genotypic and phenotypic variability. In this work the comparative analysis of plants of interspecific hybrids of genus Allium L. from various inbred descendants of combinations of crossing of species A. cepa х A. vavilovii and A. cepa х A. fistulosum on selection traits is carried out.Forms were identified: by mass of the bulb more than 100 g; with contrasting coloration of dry cover scales bulbs; by the index of the shape of the bulb; on the resistance to peronosporosis of plants of the first year of vegetation and seed plants; by the number of arrows; height of the arrow; on seed production with a sufficiently high percentage of fertile plants. Plants of interspecific hybrids of onions formed bulbs weighing from 20 to 120 g, with white, golden-yellow, dark golden-yellow, brownish and dark purple color of dry covering scales of a bulb. Plants of interspecific hybrids of onions were flat and round-flat shape of the bulb with the frequency of symptoms ranging from 6.9 to 93.3% and from 11.7 to 93.3%. In a phytopathological evaluation of interspecific hybrids of onions the first year of vegetation identified plants with resistance to downy mildew is from 0 to 4.0 points. Was studied the frequency of occurrence of plants in the progenies weight, colour, bulb type, number, height of the seedstalk, seed productivity and resistance to downy mildew. The increase of genetic diversity in onion plants obtained on the basis of interspecific hybridization, backcrossing and inbreeding is shown.

The genus Cucumis L. is polymorphic, includes annual and perennial species, distinguished by the type of flowering, ploidy, and resistance to diseases. C. sativus L. (cucumber) and C. melo L. (melon) are widely known species of the genus Cucumis L. Species of the genus Cucumis L. in their distribution are adapted to the diversity of habitats, are characterized by different level of adaptation to biotic and abiotic stress factors. Interspecific hybridization is an important method of enriching the gene pool of cultivated plants allowing to transfer of valuable characters from wild to cultural species. Clarification of the level of species crossability and the viability of the hybrids is an important factor in creating a valuable initial material for breeding. The prospects of using interspecific hybridization in breeding are shown, including the transfer of resistance to harmful diseases to cultural species. Morphological and biological characters of the species of the genus Cucumis L. and the level of their crossability are described. For practical use, the most interesting species are C. africanus L, C. aculeatus Cogn. and C. anguria L., whose compatibility level reaches 4.0%; they are characterized by heat and drought tolerance and resistance to a number of diseases. However, crossing species of the genus Cucumis L. is not always successful. The main reason is the phylogenetic distance of species, the differences in the number of chromosomes, as well as living form, etc. The use of modern breeding genetic methods of research to overcome the noncrosslinking of different species will facilitate the discovery and use of their biological potential.

The purpose of this work performed in 2015-2017 on seedgrowing crops of the Crimean OSS VIR was receiving hybrid seeds of a vegetable marrow at free pollination and check of their quality by method of soil control. At laying of seed-growing crops, carrying out variety cleanings,, inspections and approbation were guided by the Instruction for approbation of seedgrowing crops of vegetable, melon cultures, fodder root crops and fodder cabbage (2008). The vegetable marrow with a high saturation pistillate flowers of Bl12, Su4 and Ar3 were used as maternal lines. Double processing by solution of an etrel was carried out to early phases of development of plants them. Use of this growth regulator has influenced blossoming of plants - in the lower knots men's flowers weren't formed, purely women's blossoming for the term of 14-17 days, sufficient for setting of seed fruits was observed. Control of blossoming of maternal forms was exercised by systematic inspections of plants on a floor. We have conducted three multiple examination. The first - before blossoming of maternal plants, in a budding phase when it is already possible to distinguish a sex of flowers, the second – in a phase of the beginning of blossoming. The third examination was conducted for definition of the beginning of blossoming of male flowers on plants of the maternal line. Timely carrying out inspections and variety cleanings, promotes receiving qualitative hybrid material. When carrying out soil control the high hybridism of seed material is revealed: F₁ Bl12 x D1 - 95,3 %; F₁ Su4 x D1 - 95,7 %; F₁ Ar3 x D1 - 96,0 %. The results indicate that of the carried-out work, at free pollination of maternal and fatherly forms, vegetable marrow seeds with a high hybridism are received. Conducting the trial testing of new hybrids showed their high economic value. In comparison with the standard of Belogor F₁, their total yield is higher by 16.7-25.7%, and the early yield by 10.5-27.7%. The introduction of new vegetable marrow hybrids in production is cost-effective and in demand.

The main stages of the development of cucumber selection studies in the laboratory of seed selection and technology of cultivation of vegetable cultures of SibNIIRS for more than 40 years are presented. The severe climatic conditions of the region, the lack of a regionalized assortment, the high cost of cucumber products imported from other regions makes the task of creating local adapted varieties and hybrids very relevant. Particular attention in the laboratory is devoted to the study of the source material. More than 600 initial forms of different eco-geographical origin have been studied, and the best ones have been selected for use in breeding. The main directions in the selection of cucumber for open ground are precocity, yield, resistance to diseases, marketability of greenery, high technological properties. The main methods of selection are individual, mass selection, simple, complex hybridization, saturating and recurrent crossings, inbreeding. The State Register of Selection Achievements approved for the use of 3 bee-dusted varieties and 18 hetherosis parthenocarpic hybrids was created and introduced. An extensive linear material of various sexual types has been accumulated for heterotic selection of cucumber. In 2017 Siberian Research Institute of Plant Industry and Breeding was begin the cooperation on the creation of new varieties and hybrids of cucumber with LLC Geterosisnaya Selectiya. Preliminary results were obtained for nine lines of cucumber. Three samples with high yield and early maturity are revealed.

Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is an economically significant nightshade culture in many countries, including Transnistria. On the basis of the State Institution "Transnistrian Institute of Agriculture" in conditions of open ground on a long-term provocative background of monoculture of nightshade, the study of various diseases of sweet pepper is conducted, the allocation of resistant plants for further selection work on the creation of specialized varieties and F1 hybrids with high genetic potential and resistant to stressful environmental factors. In 2016-2017 the selection material for selection of sweet pepper for resistance to major diseases (verticillosis, yellow wilting, or phytoplasmosis and viral pathogens) was studied. The best selection samples were selected for the complex of features. According to the total yield, Positron variety was significantly superior to the standard by 13% and L-70 sample by 19%. A complex phytopathological evaluation showed that the L-70 sample was very poorly affected by verticillium fading, and yellow fading and viral diseases - to a weak degree. The Positron variety was characterized by a mild disease defeat. The degree of development of verticillosis in general in the nursery was weak and varied from 6,8 (L175) to 11,4% (L-144), the development of yellow wilting – from weak to medium – 22,2-41,5%, and the damage caused by virosis varied within the limits of 16,2-33,7%. The most harmful were phytoplasmic diseases, which manifested themselves mainly in the form of yellow wilting and to a lesser extent – a typical stalk caused by phytoplasm PhLO. Thus, in the competitive test, a sample L-70 with a high yield of commercial fruits and a minimal disease affection in a complex phytopathological assessment was identified, as well as a Positron variety with a high early and overall yield and a low disease burden. The best indicators of the biochemical composition of fruits, as close as possible to the requirements of the canning industry, were samples of L-175, L-134, L-144 and Positron variety.

The thematic core facilities plan, CCU of Orel state agrarian university "Genetic resources of plants and their use" for a joint program with Shatilovskay of Institute of leguminous and cereal crops, of field and vegetation experiments on the study of specific features of manifestation of the activity of transpiration leaves of soybean are achieved. The object of the study were 10 varieties of soybeans that were grown on plots of 15 m² in four replications. Seeding was carried out breeding seeder calculated 600 thousand of viable seeds per hectare. the way the plots were allocated systematically with offset. The care of crops was carried out in accordance with the recommended regional events. It was demonstrated that leaf transpiration activity of the culture increases sharply in the transition of plants to the generative period of development, reaching a maximum in the phase of mass fruit formation, when the most active growth and, consequently, the demand for assimilate. The intensity of transpiration of leaves during this period of plant development was by 8.22 mmol H₂O/m²c. The highest transpiration activity was typical for the upper leaves located in the generative sphere of plants, the lowest - activity was fount for the lowerst leaves. On the 5th node from the bottom, its value was 2.2 times lower compared to the assimilating leaves at the top of the plants (3-4 knots top). Thus, the most intensive evaporation of the water by leaves are held from 9:00 to 13:00 hours Moscow time. The intensity of transpiration in this period amounted to an average of 5.42 mmol H₂O/m²c, which was 19.9% higher than in the morning (from 7:00 to 8:00) and 42.3% in the afternoon (from 15:00 to 17:00).

Priority directions in tomato breeding for protected ground remain stable productivity ness and quality of fruit, early ripeness, resistant to the most harmful diseases. Creating such varieties is a required component of ecological agriculture. Recently, the demand of appropriate species increases and hybrids of tomato with different colouring of the fruit, which is determined by the contents of xanthophylls and various carotenoids (lycopene, β-carotene, lutein, etc.) with antioxidant properties. According to the state program of research for 2000-2010, the staff of the laboratory of gamete and molecular methods of selection of Federal Scientific Vegetable Center created orange early crop variety Rufina for greenhouses. The article describes the brief history of its creation and characterization on major valuable features. Tomato cultivar Rufina is a source of economically useful traits: early ripeness, resistant to abiotic and biotic stresses, yield, palatability and nutritional value of fruits. Therefore, at present it is used when creating new forms of tomato, adapted to the conditions of various modern technologies protected ground - low-volume cultivation and multi-level narrow column hydroponics (MUG). A perspective starting material was received. These are five productive selection forms for the low-volume technology, haracterized by early ripeness (the beginning of harvesting on the 50-70 day of sowing), the weight of the fruit from 90 to 130 g, resistance to apical rot. For a MUG - two low forms with orange fruits weighing more than 30 grams, created as a result of hybridization with determinants of dwarfish redplant varieties Natasha.

Rich in high quality protein, vitamins, carbohydrates, organic acids and trace elements seeds, green fruits and young leaves broad beans (Vicia faba L. var. major Harz) has long been used in the food, and the culture of beans are promising in biological agriculture and horticulture. The aim of this work was to study the structure of seed production of different varieties of broad beans in the South Central zone of the region. At the Botanical garden BelSU (Belgorod) to study the structure of seed production of different varieties of broad beans (Belarusiskie, Velena, Russkie chernie, Aquadul) and determined the biochemical composition of seeds. Optimal height of attachment of the first fruit for mechanical harvesting (20-25 cm) characteristic of plants of all studied varieties. Weight of the fetus, according to the coefficient of variability, equal to 45%, distinguished by a strong variability on grades with a maximum grade of Velena. The length of fruit ranged from 9 to 13 cm and were characterized by moderate variability (V=20%). Seeds production is determinened not only by size of fruits of beans, but and its important components such as 1000 seed weight. Protein content in the seeds at 30% different varieties of broad beans domestic breeding. Contents of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and iron is higher in the cotyledons than in the skin. Dark purple color of the seed varieties of Russian black is due to the biosynthesis useful for human organism anthocyanins in seed peel.

Several early ripening pumpkin varieties adn hybrids with high yield and resistance to cold and diseases and high organoleptic properties were developed in Federal Scientific Vegetable Cencer. They are early, cold-resistant, yielding and resistant to a diseases and they have high taste and technological qualities of fruits. Most varieties of pumpkin need to fruit ripening to improve their taste. Lateripening varieties with long-term storage of fruits, until the end of November – early December, accumulate up to 10% of the amount of sugars. The timing of pumpering and storage of pumpkin fruits without loss of quality and taste indicators are individual for each variety and can vary greatly between each other. Gourds of a pumpkin of a dining room are shown as practically not requiring, and requiring in fruit ripening – from two weeks to two months. To a large extent, all varieties differ in terms of the shelf life of the fruit. Using these characteristics of varieties, even in the conditions of the Moscow region, you can create a continuous conveyor of consumption of pumpkin fruits. Recommendations are given on the timing of dosage and use of fruits of different varieties of pumpkin selection Federal Scientific Vegetable Center.

Vegetables are considered essential for well-balanced diets since they supply vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and chemicals. Thechilli pepper fruits (Capsicum spp.), like many other vegetable crops, are a source of important biological components – the macro-, microelements and antioxidants. In this regard, the chilli pepper can be included in the category of dietetic foods.The most cultivated in Russia chilli pepper varieties belong to the Capsicum annuum L. At present, in the world and in Russia huge number of varieties are selected, with different color, shape and hot and pungent taste of the fruits with a high content of carotenoids, capsaicinoids and ascorbic acid. These varieties belong to the species C. chinense, C. frutescens, C. baccatum and C. pubescens. The fruits of these forms and products of their processing are suitable for industrial applications and are the basis of many sauces, pastes, ketchups, and ingredients, which is used in food, pharmaceutical, confectionery, alcoholic beverage, military and other industries. Chilli peppers, in addition to nutritional value, are ideal for ornamental horticulture, because of the compactness or vice versa weeping form of the stems, suspended like bells and differently colored like a rainbow, fruits, colorful combinations color of leaves and fruits. You can use them and direct planting in the ground, and as a potting culture in balconies, loggias, winter gardens, in combination with other plants.

The article discusses the results of two years experiments to study the morphological and biological parameters stam varieties of tomato. Stam samples were taken in the breeding gene pool of tomato, characterized by the length of the stem. The paper analyzed 8 samples. Particular attention was paid to the study of samples of grounds such as the length of the main stem, number of leaves on the main stem, number of flowers in the third brush, brush the third length, number of lateral stems, stem diameter at the base, the stem diameter of the third sheet. Also we carried out the description of the fruits. Determined average fruit weight, length and fruit diameter in centimeters, the index of the fetus, number of fruit chambers. They were identified on the basis of data obtained from a number of promising products stam varieties: Gigant Shtambovji, Gigant Rose, Paradigma 2. These varieties have a unique combination of agronomic characters and can be used in the future as the parental forms for high value hybrids.

The characteristics of these varieties are summarized and recommendations for their cultivation are offered.

Utilization of natural biostimulators- secondary metabolits of plants in carrot production was studied. Purified fractions with glycoside content are characterized with extraction and adsorption chromatography from the next plants: linarosides – from Linaria vulgaris Mill. L., melampyrosides - from Melampyrum nemorosum L., genistifoliosides - from Linaria genistifolia L., verbascosides - from Verbascum phlomoides L., melongosides - from Solanum melongena L. and tomatoside – from Solanum lycopersicum L. The former substance was registered under market mark “ecostim”. Prospective preparations for the improvement plant resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses have been identified in laboratory tests. Treatment of carrot seeds with water solutions of such substances accelerates plant growth, increases yield and improves quality of storage roots. We determined regimes of seed treatment (substance concentration, time of exposition) and gave recommends by using of natural regulators in the technologic scheme of carrot cultivation. Using secondary metabolites of higher plants stimulates the energy of germination (on 1,5-6,7%) and increases the field germination of carrot seeds (on 23-40%). It accelerates leaves growth and increases the mass of storage roots, improves biochemical characteristics of storage roots (accumulation the β- carotene and decreasing of nitrates content). Yield of storage roots increases on 4,2-8,5 t/ha, and yield of market quality roots increases on 4-6 t/ha.

Increase of plants resistance to adverse environmental factors is considered to be the basic factor affecting the production of sustainable yields and high quality of agricultural crops. Anomalously high and low temperatures, water logging and drought, bacterial infections and herbivore attack compose significant risk factors during cultivation of different agricultural crops including tomatoes. In last decades great attention is paid to the possibility of plants protection against oxidative stress via biofortification with selenium. Effect of selenium biofortification in adverse ecological conditions of the Chechen republic (high humidity and low temperature) on yield and biochemical characteristics of two tomatoes varieties (Utro, Krasny Velican) was investigated. Dose of 4 mg Se/sq. m in triple processing during vegetation resulted in 18.9-89.9% increase of fruit yield depending on the cultivar tolerance to cladosporium. For the first time the possibility of selenium utilization in protection of plants against cladosporium was demonstrated. Biofortification of plants with selenium resulted in 1,36-1.41 increase of ascorbic acid content, 1.1 times – of carbohydrates, 1.13- 1.22 times – of titratable acidity, 1.9-1.23 time – of betacarotene, 1.55-1.36 times – of licopene. Taste index of tomato fruit also increased by 10%. 16 Fold fortification level of tomato fruit provides 22-29 % from the adequate selenium consumption level with 300 g of the product.

Seed production of cabbage in recent years is achieved via primarily by nonstop technology. However, the production of cabbage seeds in the Southern regions is associated with certain problems, in particular, the malicious activity of phytophages, are able in the years of outbreaks completely destroy the crop. One of the most dangerous species of today are baridi. Development a strategy for the protection of cabbage seed shoots is important the knowledge of species composition and bioecological peculiarities of development of the pathogen. Complex biology (the focus of unwanted phases in the underground part of the stump), the lack of registered insecticides and distribution of certain phenological phases of development of seed cabbage (flowering) makes it almost impossible to limit its population. For localisation of the pest in the adult stage requires knowledge of species composition and phenology of development in a particular ecological zone. Long-term studies were conducted on the species identification of the community of Baris in Dagestan. Identified 22 species, among which the most popular were bared turnip: Baris coerulescens Scop. (71.6% of the total population), subdominant - timida V. Rossi (6.1%), all other types were found in approximately equal quantities. On the basis of the drawings and the corresponding biometric measurements were supplemented with the morphological description of the most common type of Baris coerulescens Scop. By measuring the head capsule width was determined to be 4 larval age. The dependence of mass outbreaks of Baris coerulescens Scop of the figure hydrothermal coefficient. The implementation of the mass distribution of the phytophage takes place 2 years after seasons at hydrothermal coefficient = 0.5. When a relative measure of hydrothermal coefficient was ≥ 1,the density of the pest does not exceed a threshold.

The article describes the main aspects of regulating the import of vegetables to Russia, the statistical data allow to make conclusion about the current state of the import substitution of vegetable products, the examples allow to assess the economic and political situation in Russia and in countries directly related to trade and other relations with Russia. Also partially affected the overall situation of export of vegetable products, perspectives and possible problems in this direction. Presents issues to consider allow closer approach to the solution of the main strategic problems of the country – the full import substitution of Russian product. The problem in this area is impossible to solve. Russian manufacturers that make quality products that do not have sufficient capacity to provide the whole of Russia. In addition, the Russian agricultural sector has a serious dependence on foreign high-tech solutions. Thus, measures of tariff and non-tariff regulation is required to affect the import of vegetables.

Against the backdrop of the slow recovery of the world economy from the consequences of the global financial and economic crisis, the world community is to find a new model of interaction and create new mechanisms for economic development. In the course of integrating the Chinese economy into the world economy, China is ready to assume more international responsibilities and obligations in accordance with its capabilities, including in the field of providing the population with food. The history of reforming the food market in general and the vegetable market in particular began in the PRC in 1978 from the countryside and in 2017 reached the world scale in the framework of creating international economic relations under the project "One belt – one way". The article deals with the development of the vegetable market in China, ensuring safety and high quality standards of vegetables in the country, as well as the direction of international development of China's economic relations in the course of solving the problem of providing the population with food. As a result of the research, the development of the vegetable market in China was revealed.

Providing the population with affordable safe food is becoming increasingly important due to the growing population of the planet, the aggravation of socio-economic relations between states, the increase in the number of environmental problems and the replacement of natural organic food with snacks, products containing artificial components and GMOs, and functional foods. The article discusses the planning of measures taken by the regional authorities to provide the population with basic types of food, the calculation of the needs of which is compiled in accordance with rational norms for the consumption of food products that meet modern requirements for healthy nutrition. On the basis of linear programming, a model of predictive provision of the population with basic types of food products for the period 2018-2020 was compiled. The data on the compiled model can be prolonged and corrected when the statistical indicators of 2016, 2017 are obtained and the planned number of population in the period under review is specified. As a result of the study, the forecasted values of the required volume of food for the population of the Irkutsk region were obtained. The basic components of the mechanism of interaction of all interested subjects of the food market and a set of conditions for the implementation of promising directions of the mechanism for the formation and implementation of food policy in accordance with the stated goals are proposed. Social effectiveness in achieving the performance indicators proposed in the work will be determined by increasing the life expectancy of the population, reducing morbidity, improving the quality of life of those suffering from diseases associated with unsustainable nutrition, and the ratio of the resulting favorable social results to the costs to achieve them, while economic efficiency will be expressed by an estimate The impact of the results achieved in the implementation of program activities on the formation of the gross product, and Vyshen productivity and ensuring the dynamics of economic growth.
