Abstract

The article studies the peculiarities of formation and implementation of the state agrarian policy in modern Ukraine. The essence and concept of the state agrarian policy as a strategic course of state regulation of the agro-industrial complex are analyzed. The principles, directions and tools for implementing such a policy are considered. Particular attention is paid to the historical stages of development of agricultural policy in Ukraine - from the Soviet period to the present. The author analyzes the impact of market transformations and European integration processes on the evolution of state agricultural policy. The peculiarities of the formation of the modern model of state agricultural policy under the influence of global and national challenges - climate change, technological and social challenges, economic and geopolitical instability, Russian aggression against Ukraine - are investigated. The author formulates priority areas for improving state support for the agrarian sector of the economy under martial law, such as food security, infrastructure reconstruction, compensation for losses of producers, etc. The article also emphasizes that agrarian policy is an important type of state policy, as it concerns the strategic sector of the country's economy - the agro-industrial complex. The level of food security of the state directly depends on the efficiency of the formation and implementation of the state agricultural policy. The author emphasizes that the peculiarities of the formation and implementation of the State agricultural policy are influenced by both internal factors (historical context, sectoral specifics) and global challenges (climate change, technological development, international competition). This requires a comprehensive approach and consideration of national interests. The author analyzes the priority directions and instruments for the formation and implementation of the State agricultural policy in the context of modern challenges, in particular, Russian military aggression. It is emphasized that under such conditions the State agricultural policy should be flexible and adaptive, capable of rapid transformation, taking into account the needs of the industry. Thus, the article comprehensively analyzes the relationship between current global and national challenges and the specifics of the formation of the State agricultural policy, and identifies the priority areas for improving its strategies and instruments in the context of crises and conflicts.
