Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In the modern legal framework, this area requires not only the improvement of regulatory mechanisms but also a conceptual transformation of agricultural policy towards environmentally and socially oriented models. This article examines the system of international and national legal mechanisms aimed at regulating sustainable agricultural practices, including organic farming as an institutionalized form of the agroecological approach. The aim of the study is to provide a comprehensive legal analysis of existing regulatory frameworks governing sustainable agriculture in the context of the right to food and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The study addresses the following objectives: to identify key international legal acts and institutional platforms ensuring global coordination in the field of food security; to analyze national approaches to the legal regulation of organic farming in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the People’s Republic of China; to identify structural legal barriers and deficiencies in the implementation of ecological requirements in the agricultural sector. The scientific novelty of the study lies in a multi-level (global and national) examination of law as a tool for agrarian transformation under complex challenges of food and environmental security.
