“…The EU policymakers, aware of the role of clusters in sustainable development, decided to make an effort to assist the growth of clusters. Cluster policies are widely encouraged by international authorities, such as the European Union and OECD, and have grown worldwide both at regional and national levels [74,75].

Sustainable development is one of the fundamental and most important objectives of the worldwide policy. The conducted research shows that sustainable development (SD) is increasingly important in the consciousness of the EU countries, which can be viewed through a prism of the undertaken projects. This paper raises the issue of clusters and their significance in the development of a sustainable economy. The article explores trends in the European Union policy related to sustainable development and clusters. The purpose of this study is to find an answer to the following questions: How can clusters contribute to sustainable development and what are the key factors that ensure this process? To achieve the goal of the article a systematic study of the literature and reports was carried out. Moreover, the analysis of the activity of European clusters in the context of sustainable development was performed. Next, the examples of cluster projects focused on sustainable development were presented. It was shown that the clusters contribute a smarter and sustainable development by succeeding in technological and scientific results, developing new technologies for emerging industries, creating new business activities, enticing major technology companies, and connecting local firms into world-class value systems. Furthermore, the clusters participate actively in sustainable development as they promote knowledge creation, joint learning, technology transfer, as well as collaboration, and sustainable innovations. Finally, clusters facilitate the sustainable upgrading of small and medium enterprises and encourage the participation of stakeholders in the process of sustainable development.

Problems of creating effective conditions, models and methods for the development of agricultural servicing cooperatives as an integral part of the agro-industrial complex of the state are caused by the following: lack of trained personnel, information and educational resources to form organization of the cooperatives themselves, lack of a legal form of regular financial support for cooperation development, indefiniteness of nonprofit character of agricultural servicing cooperatives, misunderstanding and disinclination of agricultural entities and rural communities to cooperate, underestimating the essence and benefits of the cooperative model of agrarian entrepreneurship (Vernay et al, 2018;Wink, 2017).…”
