The article examines in detail the experience of the Iraq-Kuwait war in terms of receiving compensation for the damage caused by the war to the surrounding natural environment. In particular, the "Habitat Equivalency Analysis" methodology, which was used to determine the amount of compensatory restoration to cover losses in ecological services that were provided by natural resources before their damage. The methodology aims to estimate the total loss of services provided by a damaged or lost habitat. The FAO methodology for damage and loss assessment in agriculture was also analyzed. In which the focus is on the continuous collection of data on damage and loss in agriculture, recording the smaller and localized effects of disasters. The focus in the review of the methodology is focused on the determination of damages and losses in forestry. Such components as: damages and losses of forestry; loss of forestry production; loss of forestry products; damage to forestry assets. It was established that the considered methodology is suitable for determining the damage caused by military actions for forest resources in the part that directly concerns the forest cover. One of the areas of damage assessment in the nature management sector is the determination of options for primary (restoration) recovery. This stage refers to actions aimed at restoring the damaged resource and, if possible, returning it to the basic level (before the war), which involves establishing recovery goals; determination of primary restoration options; selection of primary restoration options; assessment of intermediate damages, etc. The choice of primary restoration options should be the result of an evaluation process based on the following criteria, but not limited to cost of implementation; the length of time it will take for the recovery to be effective; probability of success, etc. The next steps should be a large-scale damage assessment in accordance with generally accepted methods, development of ways to restore the natural environment and identification of funds to minimize or eliminate the damage caused to the elements of the environment or natural resources.
The article is devoted to the study of the role and significance of innovations for the formation of a strategy of sustainable rural development, in the regulation of the process of greening based on the improvement of the mechanism of the introduction of ecological innovations, which will contribute to increasing the economic efficiency of the agricultural sector as a key factor of positive changes in the socio-economic development of the village. The priority of ecological innovations in the development of rural areas and agricultural production is shown. The main models of managing the development of rural areas are considered, as well as certain areas of implementation of eco-innovations and their impact on the development of rural areas are proposed. The possibility of introducing a new management system on the basis of greening and synergism of state programs of agrarian development and innovation policy is considered. The ways and mechanisms of improvement of ecologically innovative activity are described and the methods of its implementation are proposed. It has been studied that the improvement of the management system of eco-innovative development of rural areas involves changes occurring in the field of planning, employment of the population of the territories, promotion of products, interaction between the authorities, business and the population, and knowledge management. Innovations in the field of rural development management will provide specific rural areas with long-term competitive advantages and stimulate their development under the conditions of combining and taking into account both scientific and technological and administrative and management innovative solutions.
The article identifies and analyzes the relevance of the formation of new energy opportunities for the agro-industrial complex (AIC), which will stabilize energy consumption. Theoretical and methodological bases of organizational and economic aspects of realization of bioenergy potential of agrarian sector of economy are analyzed and investigated. Possibilities of biofuel and energy production, possibility of using different types of local energy sources for energy supply are estimated. The problem in the field of regulation and development of the fuel and energy complex and the inconsistency of transformation measures in the energy sector with the methods of reforming the energy industry, agriculture, services and utilities of Ukraine are analyzed. The state, tendencies and strategy of energy complex development are analyzed; the forecast estimation of energy possibility of introduction of new stages of application of renewable energy sources in agriculture is executed. The analysis of the current state of the energy balance of the agricultural sector is carried out, and the topical issues of imperfection of the bioenergy and RES production process are identified. Ways to increase the economic efficiency of energy saving by increasing the capacity of biogeneration of energy, based on local energy sources, taking into account the savings in their use, as well as obtaining additional funds from the sale of electricity at a green tariff. It is recommended to improve and harmonize the production of raw materials for biofuel energy and to introduce control over the reporting of economic entities.
The article is devoted to ecological and economic priorities of rural development. The conceptual bases of organizational-economic and ecological mechanisms of rural development are considered. The main ecological and economic factors influencing the development of rural areas are analyzed. The goals and ways to implement the concept of rural development are outlined, which involves assessing the existing problems and obstacles to their effective development. The article proposes an ecological and economic mechanism for the development of rural areas based on the use of forms and methods in the interaction of information, organizational and legal support. Theoretical and methodological principles of improving the ecological and economic mechanism of implementation of the Concept of sustainable development of rural areas are substantiated, on the basis of which effective methods and mechanisms, means, levers and actions of both ecological-economic and organizational-managerial nature will be introduced, which will influence the interests of economic entities in rural areas and promote not only social and economic life in rural areas, but also achieving social well-being and solving urgent environmental problems. The study of the ecological component of rural development has shown the need to take it into account in close connection with the economic and social components of its development in coexistence with the natural environment. Based on this, the main strategic aspects of the development of domestic environmental policy are developed and the components of the conceptual provisions of the strategy of environmentally sustainable development of rural areas are determined, based on ensuring overall environmental safety
The article, based on a study of the key provisions of the concept of sustainable development and the essence of the concepts of «paradigm» and «system» found that the modern socio-ecological-economic paradigm is a system of selective views, compromises and actions of society. through available economic, institutional, financial, social mechanisms and tools to harmonize relations between the population, government and business. It is determined that the formation of socio-ecological-economic paradigm of sustainable development involves its territorial differentiation, which means the transition to a model that takes into account the economic and natural specifics of certain areas, ensuring a balance between economy, social sphere and ecology. It is proposed to consider the socio-ecological-economic paradigm of sustainable development according to the types of relationships formed between its components: economic-ecological, which provide for the impact of economic activity on the environment. Reflecting the impact of the environment on production conditions, form the raw material base; socio-economic relations provide the spheres of economic activity with labor resources, through which the research and production process takes place; socio-ecological reflect the interaction of the environment and society, their mutual influence. The purely economic ties that arise due to the influence of economic laws, and are the basis for the formation of certain patterns of economic processes and relations, and social ties that arise during the functioning of society and characterize the features and stages of social relations; institutional ties are formed in the process of historical development of the socio-economic environment in the context of reconciling the interests of social groups, etc. A scheme of sustainable development of rural areas as complex systems has been developed in three-dimensional space, which includes, depending on the availability of key links in the system and provides for deviations from its sustainable development.
