The article examines the factors of agricultural development in Ukraine. The study of agricultural production growth reserves was carried out using the production function as a basis for modeling economic development.Considering that the income of the industry is formed under the influence of a combination of factors of extensive and intensive growth, we conducted a correlation and regression analysis of the impact of groups of selected factors on the economic growth of agricultural production.The result of the decomposition of the general variation of the real output of agricultural products of Ukraine into factors made it possible to draw the following conclusion: the potential for extensive growth of agricultural production by attracting additional land and human resources is exhausted. At the present stage of development of agriculture in Ukraine, the main factor in the growth of real agricultural output is to increase productivity

The article summarizes the practice of creation and functioning of small business forms in agriculture of Ukraine, assesses their role and capabilities at the present stage and in the future, identifies priority, desirable directions for further development of society and mechanisms for their provision. The necessity of implementing a consistent policy of entrepreneurial activity expansion in the rural area is substantiated, in the first place by family farming, which is capable to ensure the maximum employment rate of rural population. Due to the above-mentioned processes, agroholdings have narrowed down the ability of the rural population to conduct agricultural entrepreneurial activity. It has also been proved that in order to increase the efficiency of agricultural production, the profitability of rural households from the agricultural products production and sale, employment of rural population and the development of the agrarian market's infrastructure, it is necessary to intensify the creation of agricultural servicing cooperatives, especially in sectors where the production of small business forms prevails. It was found that it is extremely important to introduce a permanent state of financial and other support for the development of agricultural servicing cooperatives and small forms of farming in the rural area, focusing on supporting the latter through cooperatives in which they participate.

The modern economic paradigm of implementation and consumption of agricultural organic products, based on the theoretical concepts of food security of each country, is a kind of "marker of cultural identity" of modern society. In today's world, more and more people want to lead a healthy lifestyle and consume organic products. In this regard, the impact of the state of the ecosystem on the production of organic agricultural products in the context of sustainable development is high. The system of assessing the state of the ecosystem by four components: atmosphere, water resources, soil, waste pollution and green plantations is proposed. A model for assessing the impact of the state of the ecosystem on the quality of organic production is proposed based on data from 24 regions of Ukraine.
