Інноваційна державна політика в агропромисловому комплексі України як чинник забезпечення продоволь-чої безпеки

Abstract

Ensuring food security is the primary strategy of the state agricultural policy of Ukraine because, despite the crisis phenomenon provoked by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, the country's agro-industrial complex remains one of the drivers of support for the national economy of Ukraine and acts as a guarantor of food security for many countries of the world. The methodological basis of the research was modern general and unique methods of scientific knowledge, inductive and deductive, analysis, synthesis and generalization, and forecasting. Economic, social, political, and technological factors are identified among the factors contributing to or hindering the implementation of innovative state policy during the study. It has been established that to increase the efficiency of innovative activity in Ukraine, it is necessary to develop a national innovation strategy and action plan that will determine the priorities, goals, indicators, and mechanisms of innovation policy in the agro-industrial complex to ensure food security and increase the competitiveness of agricultural products on world markets. A mandatory condition for its implementation is the provision of adequate financing, tax, and other incentives for implementing innovative projects by subjects of agricultural production. Ukraine has significant potential for innovative development of the agro-industrial complex to ensure food security. At the same time, this is hindered by several problems related to insufficient funding and insufficient institutional support for innovative activities, low interaction and cooperation between the research, educational, business, and government sectors, lack of commercialization and technology transfer, insufficient market and demand orientation, low competitiveness and internationalization of innovative Ukrainian products and services, etc. Therefore, to increase the efficiency of innovative activity, it is necessary to develop a national innovation strategy and an action plan that will determine priorities, goals, indicators, and mechanisms of innovation policy and provide adequate financing, tax, and other incentives for innovative projects and subjects of innovative activity in the agro-industrial complex to ensure food security.
