Karataeva Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, 49 Timiryazevskaya St., Moscow, 127434, Russian Federation Meri K. Dzhikiya Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, 49 Timiryazevskaya St., Moscow, 127434, Russian Federation Konstantin A. Dzhikiya Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, 49 Timiryazevskaya St., Moscow, 127434, Russian Federation Journal Article 2025 11 22 The article examines the organizational and economic aspects of ecologization in the hop products subcomplex, which includes hop cultivation, its processing, and the production of related products such as beer. It has been established that the development of productive forces has led to a global ecological crisis, exacerbated by the activities of the hop products subcomplex, associated with the use of chemical substances, energy-intensive technologies, pollution of water bodies with wastewater, and high equipment wear. These processes result in increased ecological risks and the penetration of harmful substances into the final product, negatively affecting human health. It has been determined that ecologization of the hop products subcomplex addresses two key tasks: reducing the environmental burden (air, water, and soil pollution) and ensuring the production of safe products by preventing toxins, using harmless additives, and developing functional products that enhance organism resilience. The article emphasizes the improvement of legislation, the implementation of resource-saving technologies, equipment modernization, waste recycling, and the use of digital platforms in the green economy. The introduction of an ecological management system for risk control and government support measures allows for the reduction of emissions, water and energy consumption, as well as an increase in waste recycling. It has been determined that the success of the hop products subcomplex development depends on the interaction between the state, business, communities, and science, which includes the development of sustainable varieties, functional products, and waste-free technologies. All this enhances the industry's competitiveness, reduces the ecological footprint, and promotes sustainable development, taking into account international experience. At the same time, prospects include biotechnologies, automation, and the expansion of organic production to meet the demand for environmentally friendly products in the hop products subcomplex.<br /><strong> </strong> https://cjes.guilan.ac.ir/article_9218_1ae697b317dd45e58b9b631978752d16.pdf
