Abstract

The article reveals and summarizes the main contradictions of the development of agriculture sector in the national economy on the principles of sustainability and inclusiveness, based on the analysis of theoretical assumptions and trends and from an evolutionary point of view. The theoretical-methodological basis of the study is a dialectical method of scientific views analysis and transdisciplinary positions relevant to the issues of contradictions of sustainable and inclusive development of the agricultural economy. The method of comparison was used in the analysis of the dynamics of agricultural production on the example of farming in Ukraine. Analysis of the dynamics of the output indicator of farms during 2017-2019, correlated with their number allows to state the increase in productivity of farms. The main contradiction is the uneven regional development of the agricultural economy. One of the main reasons for this is insufficient state support for the development of small enterprises in the agricultural sector of the national economy. The concept of sustainable and inclusive development of society considers the possibility of balancing economic, social and environmental factors, with the status of socium and a person as a central factor. However, in practice, when implementing mechanisms to support the improvement of the general situation at the state level and its particular territories, as a rule, there is a problem of instability of those or others components of sustainable development. According to the economic potential theory, the latter, in the context of its increase and scientifically sound use, provided a well-adjusted system of economic potential management, is a reliable basis, including to ensure environmentally sustainable development of the agricultural sector. In general, the relationship between environmental, energy and food conflicts is also quite controversial: rising prices for raw materials, especially on oil, affect the price of biomass - and further, the price of food. The situation is complicated by the high level of corruption. People are forced to migrate or organize hunger protests. All this indicates the possibility of escalation in the near future of conflicts related to such an important resource as agricultural land. As a result of a comprehensive study of the impact on sustainable and inclusive development of the agricultural economy of social and economic-environmental contradictions as a deep root cause of potential conflicts between opposing economic and environmental aspects of agricultural production, as well as economic-environmental conflicts - situations of conflict between the environment and, above all, interests concerning natural resources, and subjects of agrarian economy, the following factors were analyzed and generalized: globalization, political, technological, ecological, in particular, climatic, etc. The main conclusion is that socio-ecological and economic relations, on which modern agricultural production is based, require consideration of the whole set of relevant pro-conflict factors, with its further regulation in the implementation of the concept of sustainable and inclusive development of society and national economy. Keywords: agrarian economy, inclusive development, sustainability, contradictions, conflict
