Environmental and Legal Aspects of the Renewable Energy Development in Agriculture

Agriculture, in the context of the need to enhance food security and efficient management of agricultural lands, needs sustainable development. As one of the leading sectors of the Russian economy, agriculture has the prerequisites for digitalization of the industry, the introduction of innovative and science-intensive products and technologies. The work is devoted to the study of legal regulation issues on the use of agricultural land for the purpose of developing renewable energy. In particular, two aspects of such use are highlighted: as a spatial basis for the placement of renewable energy facilities and as a means of producing biomass. Attention is given to the negative impact on the environment when using agricultural land in renewable energy. In particular, the issues of negative thermal and shadow impacts on lands, changes in the nature of land use due to the displacement of agricultural crop production for food and feed purposes are considered. The author formulates provisions that can serve as a basis for the formation of legal regulation of the use of renewable energy in agriculture.
