Prospects for the Implementation of Sustainable Development Agenda in the Agricultural Sector of the Economy

The research goal is to identify prerequisites and limiting factors and determine the conditions for the implementation of projects aimed at the sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex. The study solves the following problems: identification of external and internal prerequisites for the implementation of sustainable development agenda for various sectors of the agricultural economy; determination of the interaction of the categories “sustainable development,” “green economy,” and “circular economy” as a tool for achieving the objectives of the “green economy”; “circular economy” tools are adapted to the practice of agricultural production; and the need for an integrated approach to the implementation of projects in the field of agriculture and conservation of natural landscapes is substantiated. As a result of the study, external and internal reasons hindering their implementation were identified and systematized including lack of comprehensive projects that have a synergistic effect to preserve the natural potential of the territory and save resources in the agricultural sector; measures were proposed aimed at adjusting the functions and powers of regional ministries of economic development, suggesting increase of their role in organizing the development and implementation of complex agro-eco-projects.
