The choice of the region for the location of the production of ecologically pure food is substantiated, taking into account the results of the complex ecological zoning of Russia. Research shows that the Altai Territory has the necessary prerequisites for the transition to an environmentally oriented development of food production. The factors for the development of food production have been taken into account and grouped, which makes it possible to reveal the potential for greening the regional agro-industrial complex. The ecological and economic conditions and the resource potential of the region determine the expediency of searching for the type of firms of the corresponding specialization. The working hypothesis is that the production of organic food is justified by two types of agricultural and processing organizations (newly created, low-profit, or unprofitable). The application of the decomposition method made it possible to determine the basic development strategies of two types of organizations, taking into account the phases of the life cycle of the production of environmentally friendly food.
