MODERN ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES IN THE AGRICULTURE OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The article substantiates the main determinants of the development of energy efficient technologies in the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine. The main problems that hinder the achievement of energy independence of Ukraine are revealed and their essence is revealed. The problems and prospects for the adaptation of current technologies in crop production, the latest technical and technological solutions in animal husbandry and resource-saving farming systems to the existing conditions of domestic agricultural production are stated. The analysis of the use of modern energy efficient technologies in the field of crop production is carried out and it is substantiated that they are associated with the use of modern technology and renewable energy sources, space information technologies. The features of innovative energy- and resource-saving farming technologies are considered. The newest technical and technological solutions in animal husbandry, contributing to energy saving in the context of modern technical and technological support of the industry, energy and resource saving technologies, production of biofuel (biogas) with a description of problems and prospects are proposed. Measures to overcome the crisis state of innovative and technological activity of agricultural enterprises are proposed, aimed at strengthening the agricultural sector and ensuring its progressive development. The use of promising energy-efficient technologies in the agro-industrial complex has been substantiated as a guarantee of the development of the industry on an innovative basis. Review of measures to improve government regulation and incentives for the transition to energy efficient technologies, namely: improving the image of the state on the world stage to increase investment attractiveness; development of an effective energy policy that will have a close relationship with the European energy direction; liberalization of energy markets and delineation of energy supply sources, etc. It has been proved that at the state level it is necessary to constantly inform agricultural producers about modern energy-saving technologies, introduce pilot projects, and continuously monitor the efficiency of energy resources use.
