Cyclic-genetic approach to the formation of theories of sustainable balanced development of agricultural production

Abstract

In modern conditions of the industrialization of the world community, the issues of the formation of a balanced innovative development of agricultural territories are actualized, on which not only the standard of living of the rural population, food security of the country, but also national security in general depend largely. In these conditions, the issues of forming an integrated mechanism for managing this process based on the results of innovation and self-organization tools are especially acutely discussed. However, in world, scientific practice there is still no common opinion on a single interpretation of the concept of “balance”, most judgments are based on the identification of the term with the concept of “sustainable development”. The paper presents the results of identifying the main stages of development of regional systems in world practice, highlights the features of the formation of theories of balanced development, the main representatives of the scientific community on the research problem. An attempt is made to distinguish between the concepts of “sustainable” and “balanced” development, it is shown that its lexical meaning “sustainable development” can be achieved only if a number of conditions are met, including the obvious fact of the need to achieve a balance of the studied conditions, phenomena in regional agricultural systems. An overview of the specific characteristics of the categorical side of the term “balance” is given. The results obtained expand the theoretical basis for the scientific understanding of the development of agricultural areas and will allow forming their own opinion about the theories of balanced development of agricultural systems. The material can be of scientific interest for the formation of scientific judgments about the functioning of effective agricultural production.
