Decarbonisation of agricultural technologies in Ukraine in achieving sustainable development goals

Abstract

The study intended to draw attention to the distinctive aspects of Ukraine's agricultural decarbonisation process to carry out the sustainable development plan. The research methodology included statistical observation, analytical and structural grouping, and forecasting. The study established key areas for future development, assessed the extent to which sustainable agricultural production technologies are implemented in Ukraine, and identified reserves. Decarbonisation, which involves a progressive change in the agricultural sector, was discussed in the strategic progress towards a sustainable climate. The significant level of degradation of agricultural areas and the widespread spread of the “organic food” trend were identified as tangential stimulating factors. The expediency of decarbonisation of agricultural technologies in terms of participation in global climate dynamics was substantiated. The main relevant challenges and risks were highlighted, and the level of development of the industrial regulatory framework was studied. An analysis was conducted on the characteristics of the agricultural production management system. The most effective means of putting strategies into practice to encourage investment in the agriculture industry were determined. The study demonstrated how farmers can be effectively motivated financially and organisationally to adopt technologies that emit few or no greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, monitor and manage the load on agricultural landscapes, create a targeted land bank, and guarantee quality standards and safety regulations. The vectorial of improving the algorithms for transforming farming systems towards decarbonisation within the strategy of dynamic development from traditional to sustainable agricultural production is determined. The study established that an effective process of decarbonisation of agricultural production technologies is seen as the basis for intensifying the competitiveness of agricultural production. The study demonstrated how Ukraine's agriculture sector has developed in the modern era should be embodied in the technical re-equipment of production processes and fundamental changes in technological methods and approaches to minimise carbon emissions
