Abstract: Scientific approaches to the development of agriculture substantiate the formation of such organizational and legal forms as industry and regional clusters. Green clusters are a new phenomenon for the Russian economy, but very promising, since their activities are aimed at saturating markets with organic products, applying nature-saving (green) technologies in production. The Volga-Don interfluve is one of the plains of the European part of Russia with intensive agricultural production. The aim of the study was to study the conditions for creating a green agricultural (horticultural) cluster in the Volga-Don interfluve zone. Among the tasks was to study the international and Russian practice of developing green clusters, attracting private investment, creating conditions for the intensification of agricultural production. The object of the study was the agro landscapes of the Volga-Don interfluve and entrepreneurial activity in the agro-industrial complex. Studies have shown that the interfluve is a promising platform for the development of a green horticultural cluster based on the intensification of entrepreneurial activity with a synergistic effect, the formation of environmentally sustainable agrolandscapes. The development of green agricultural clusters in the field of industrial gardening, with the planned output of products from a unit of green space, requires a multifactorial approach with the creation of conditions for the introduction of innovations. Economic and mathematical modeling made it possible to determine the range of positive values for the functioning of a green gardening cluster, and the construction of a standard model, to highlight the strengths that ensure the intensification of gardening, and the weaknesses that indicate insufficient funding and proper logistical support. The formation of green agricultural clusters at the regional level will contribute to the implementation of state policy in ensuring food security, export orientation of agricultural production and the fulfillment of sustainable development goals.
