This article is a testament to the importance of the adaptive mechanism for the development of the agro-food sector in the conditions of globalization and the intellectualization of society. The research presented here, which proposes streamlining adaptation management tools, is a significant contribution to the field and a testament to the value we place on the agro-food sector. The study aimed to examine the adaptive development mechanism of the agro-food sector under globalization and social intellectualization. The development of the agri-food sector in Ukraine is based on systemic transformations associated with the change of the command-administrative system of management to a market-based one. While implementing such transformations, in parallel with establishing sovereignty, acquiring a state, and building a power-organizational system, a whole set of structural traps emerged, which turned out to be significant barriers to establishing and developing market relations. Transformational processes in the agro-food sector took place thanks to the implementation of several reforms related to changes in agrarian relations. It is appropriate to consider the reforms as a complex system of changes in the socio-economic mechanism in the conditions of globalization and intellectualization of society.

Analyzing the adaptive mechanism of the development of the agri-food sector in the conditions of globalization and intellectualization of society, it can be noted that in the system of agricultural production, there is a consolidation of enterprises with a simultaneous decrease in their number at the same time, an increase in the number of enterprises should be noted in almost all groups, except for state enterprises and production cooperatives, the development of which is the subject of further research.
