Today in the Kazan Cooperative Institute of the branch of the Russian University of Cooperation a round table was held on the topic “Modern cooperation of the Republic of Tatarstan through the prism of the formation of eco-awareness, production and sale of eco-products and the organization of public eco-nutrition”.

The topic of eco-nutrition today is very relevant, which is connected with the health of the nation and has medical, socio-economic and psychological aspects because it is associated with the formation of a specific thinking aimed at productive longevity and high quality of life.

It is important to understand that there is no shortage of goods on store shelves, on the contrary, store shelves are overflowing with an abundance of products, and the catering network is constantly expanding, but pharmacies and drugs are multiplying faster, and the number of people needing medicines is increasing. Mortality statistics are not at all comforting both in the country as a whole and in the Republic of Tatarstan.

And it is not by chance that the Kazan Cooperative Institute, a branch of the Russian University of Cooperation, was chosen as the place to discuss such a complex problem, since only by cooperating and uniting can one achieve some results.

Scientists, teachers, practitioners, representatives of supervisory authorities, representatives of the business community associated with this issue became participants in the round.

The purpose of the round table is to study the situation in the Republic of Tatarstan on this topic and to outline the direction in the field of ecological food on which it is necessary to take further steps.
