Subject. The article is devoted to organic farming. Objectives. The study aims to analyze organic agriculture as a factor of regional development in the Russian Federation, explore the strategy of resource-innovative growth, positions of the development axes theory, growth points, grassroots innovations, and a cluster approach to the analysis of organic agriculture in the region of location. Methods. The study employs general scientific research methods. Results. Despite the great potential for the development of organic agriculture in the Russian Federation and the possibility of its formation into a point of growth of the region, there is no indicator system enabling to analyze the potential of organic agriculture, taking into account the locality. Targeted measures of State support are needed to develop the organic agriculture production. Conclusions. The available conceptual framework of regional development theories permits to identify certain approaches to assessing the impact of this type of agriculture on the economy of location, the possibility of its clustering and transformation into a pole of regional economic development. At the same time, organic agricultural production requires a lot of attention from the State.
