Socio Economic And Ecological Aspects Of The Development Of The Economy Of Ukraine In The Conditions Of European Integration

The agricultural sector was and remains a key component of social development. The current state of the agricultural sector of Ukraine shows the imbalance of its development, when priority is given to the economic component with secondary environmental and social determinants. Theoretical substantiation and practical development and implementation of determinants of sustainable development of agricultural enterprises of the national economy, which combines both internal contradictions and external challenges, become particularly relevant. An important direction of the progressive reproduction of the agrarian sector of the national economy is the practical implementation of the concept of sustainable development adopted in Ukraine as a model in the context of state policy and the program of its pragmatic implementation at the level of individual economic entities. The dynamics of agrarian processes within the limits of certain constants - financial and economic, organizational, technical and technological, commercial, etc., as the most optimal at the relevant market stage, collectively reflects the principles of sustainable development in the sense of permanence, not static. Such measures will be possible under the condition of balancing the interests of society, the agricultural environment, a separate agricultural enterprise, man and the environment. The monograph indicates that the process of improving the sectoral structure of agricultural enterprises involves the implementation of certain measures that precede the determination of the main directions and ways of developing and implementing a mechanism for ensuring the optimization of the production structure when using agricultural land. It is impossible and impractical to determine the priority of one of the branches of agriculture. Since animal husbandry is based on plant products, the fodder base for which is hay, straw, green fodder, grain fodder and some other types of agricultural crops. In turn, animal husbandry waste, namely manure, is used in crop production as organic fertilizers, which ensure the improvement of soil quality indicators and the yield of agricultural crops. At the same time, it should also be noted the undeniably important role of crop production in the social life of a person as a whole. This territory provides the population with food products and raw materials for the processing industry, including food, pharmaceutical, light, woodworking, etc. In today's realities, the problem of ensuring the financial security of the enterprise is urgent. This problem is especially acute in the conditions of the current global economic and financial crisis. Today, in the conditions of an unstable political situation, economic crisis, martial law in the country and a drop in the solvent demand of the population, domestic enterprises suffer from significant financial problems. The financial activity of the enterprise is associated with many risks, the degree of influence of which on the results of its activity increases significantly with the transition to a market economy. The risks accompanying this activity are allocated to a separate group of financial risks, which play a dominant role in the general "risk portfolio" of the enterprise. The increase in the degree of influence of financial risks on the results of the company's financial activity is associated with rapid changes in the economic situation in the country and on the financial market, the expansion of the sphere of financial relations, the emergence of new financial technologies and tools. Risks arise in the field of corporate relations with banks and other financial institutions and are associated with the probability of loss of funds or their non-receipt. It is emphasized that at the current stage of the development of the world economy, the integration of Ukraine into the European space, great attention is paid to the effective functioning of the enterprise, which in turn depends on the quality of products. Ignoring this factor, it is difficult to create optimal conditions for the development of any trade, sales and profitability of enterprises. Improving the quality system of enterprises' goods in modern conditions is a complex and urgent task that requires an immediate solution. The long-term course of sustainable development of the enterprise should be aimed at achieving not so much quantitative indicators as qualitative ones, therefore, the heads of enterprises should pay attention to the development of measures to increase competitiveness and reach the international level. The construction, implementation and certification of an integrated product quality management system will provide them with a number of competitive advantages and confidence in the level of production and service that meets international standards and is able to win in competition on the domestic and foreign markets. Scientific research was carried out within the framework of the research initiative topic "Organizational and economic aspects of the development of agroecosystems on the basis of ecologization of the economy" of the Vinnytsia National Agrarian University, state registration number: 0121U112882 for 2021-2024. Greening of production is possible under the conditions of development of business relations of business entities and use of rural areas. In the conditions of a competitive economy, the main factor in the assessment of economic activity is efficiency, which allows determining the need for material, labor and financial resources. Taking into account the instability of the global economy, its impact on the economies of the world's leading countries, the need to plan and manage the development processes of enterprise activities by preserving and increasing the potential of rural areas is of particular importance. Greening is an important influencing factor that determines the characteristics of the distribution of both material, labor, and financial resources. Thus, there is a need to create and gradually develop the environment for the functioning of enterprises in rural areas, which will allow optimizing their activities based on the principles of achieving efficiency: choosing the most important types of activities in agriculture; to increase the volume of production; cost regulation, including labor costs. The work uses general methods of modern rational and empirical systemology. The obtained results are substantiated by the fundamental principles of dialectics and systematic analysis of phenomena and processes. The work is formed on the basis of the methodology of research on the impact of greening on the development of enterprises and rural areas, in particular, taking into account the organizational and economic mechanism of the disposal of agricultural waste as a component of energy security. The basis of the study is the hypothesis of the formation of the environment for the functioning of enterprises engaged in activities in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, taking into account the characteristics of rural areas in the conditions of environmentalization, optimization of cause-and-effect relationships, adaptation and historical development. The study of resource management of agricultural enterprises and rural areas in the conditions of greening will be conducted on the basis of functional and process approaches. The main methods are methods of quantitative comparison, system analysis, methods of statistical evaluation, methods of economic-mathematical modeling, methods of decision-making theory. In the formation of separate theoretical propositions, in the process of fulfilling the assigned tasks, general scientific methods were used, such as: scientific abstraction, morphological analysis, generalization, decomposition and systematization, etc.

This second Environmental Performance Review of Ukraine was carried out seven years after the first Review in 1999. It intends to measure the progress made by the country in managing its environment since then, and in addressing upcoming environmental challenges.

In modern conditions of global and transformational changes, the role of management of marketing activities of agrarian enterprises is growing. Understanding and using the concept of marketing in the management of agro-industrial enterprises in the conditions of European integration is a mandatory element of effective entrepreneurial activity. The quality of marketing activity in management is decisive, as it determines the highly profitable rhythmic activity of the enterprise. Studies of agricultural enterprises of Ukraine confirm that, although the implementation of marketing is becoming more and more widespread, all existing forms of management of marketing activities are not yet fully used. What would ensure the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises, adaptation to constant changes in the external environment and market conditions, stability of economic conditions. Management of marketing activities plays a significant role in the development and effective operation of an agricultural enterprise. It is effective work in the field of marketing activity management that will increase the competitiveness of an agricultural enterprise, expand its opportunities to enter new markets, and lead to an increase in product sales and profit growth. Due to inertia, many enterprises do not pay attention to the importance of such a component as marketing management, which in the future negatively affects their economic indicators. The article examines the main features of marketing management of agricultural enterprises of the Vinnytsia region and Ukraine as a whole in the conditions of European integration. The significance of the research on the management of marketing activities, which is necessary not only for profit, but also for being competitive in the market, is determined. The necessity of using an integrated marketing approach is substantiated. The expediency of using modern methods of product promotion has been determined The scientific basis of managing the economic development of agribusiness entities is revealed in the works of Ukrainian economists - V. Andriychuk, I. Balaniuk, I. Gryshova, G. Kaletnik, M. Malik, P. Sabluk, A. Tretyak, O. Shpykulyak and other scientists. Theoretical issues of strategic management are highlighted in the scientific works of M. Albert, O. Amosov, I. Ansoff, Y. Zavadskyi, M. Meskon, G. Mintzberg, H. Mostovoi, G. Odintsova, M. Porter, A. Thompson, A. Fayol and other domestic and foreign authors. The theoretical principles of marketing activity management became the object of research by H. Armstrong, L. Balabanova, O. Varchenko, A. Voychak, O. Gudzynskiy, P. Doyle, H. Kaletnik, S. Kamilova, F. Kotler, Zh-Zh . Lamben, I. Lytovchenko, L. Naumova, M. Oklander, O. Osnach, P. Ostrovsky, A. Pavlenko, I. Reshetnikov, M. Sakhatsky, I. Solovyov, O. Chirva, O. Shpychak, many other domestic and foreign scientists. Theoretical studies and practical recommendations of the mentioned scientists formed the general methodical basis of marketing management of agricultural enterprises. However, research on the management of marketing activities of agribusiness subjects is not sufficiently systematic and complete. In the practice of domestic agricultural enterprises, there are a number of shortcomings that reduce the effectiveness of marketing activities in the conditions of European integration. These include: chaotic use of individual elements of marketing, reduction of marketing functions only to stimulating the sale of goods, food, orientation to the short-term perspective, lack of flexibility and ignorance of consumer requests. To solve these tasks, it is necessary to develop measures to promote the sale of products through the formation of a sales support system and the development of cooperation with the EU. In these conditions, the role of marketing activity of agricultural enterprises increases and the need to develop recommendations for the organization and development of marketing tools in agro-industrial production at the level of enterprises and the region, which determines the relevance of this scientific research. The results of the research presented in the monograph were carried out as part of the initiative theme of the Department of Agrarian Management and Marketing of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University "Development of the concept of management of marketing activity of agricultural enterprises" state registration number: 0122U002111. for 2022-2024

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of global goals that meet some of the most pressing challenges facing our world today. Goal 10 concerns reducing global inequalities. Inequality is currently seen in the social, political, and economic structures of communities at both the national and international level. The United Nation’s approach to sustainable development is to create a set of goals and targets try to minimize the accelerating gaps of inequality. The book presents new insights for evaluating the progress on SDGs (especially goal 10), it also boldly sets new economic, social and environmental targets for reducing inequality. Using case studies, this book encourages readers to view economic development through the lens of growing inequalities and disparities. Such inequalities are clearly becoming more obvious as the world is better connected, and information is quickly shared. The books main aim is therefore to direct the efforts of scholars, practitioners and policymakers to swiftly find the balance between the three pillars of sustainable development. The main challenges and focus of each chapter are different and collectively they give an integrated understanding of the phenomenon of sustainable development and its diverse aspects. This book will be useful for policymakers, social and environmental activists, agencies, educators and practitioners in the sphere of social or environmental economics. The methodology of the research can be replicated and taken forward by future researchers in the field.
