Abstract

The relevance of the topic of forming an effective system of management of economic security of the agricultural sector in the system of sustainable development is due to the combination of pragmatic challenges of modernity, scientific and methodological needs and strategic priorities of national development. The development of theoretical and methodological principles in this area is of significant importance for ensuring stability, adaptability and sustainable development of the agricultural sector in conditions of constant changes in the external environment. The subject of the study is the theoretical and methodological aspects of forming a system of management of economic security of the agricultural sector of the economy. The methodological basis is a comprehensive approach that combines general scientific and special research methods: dialectical and scientific-theoretical methods – to determine the essence of the category of economic security and the formation of theoretical generalizations, abstract-logical method – to systematize knowledge and formulate conceptual provisions. In the process of research, a systematic approach was applied to the analysis of the structure of economic security of the agricultural sector, which allows us to consider the system as a single holistic formation taking into account the interrelationships of its components. To determine the relationships between the elements of the system, structural-logical modeling methods were used, which ensure the formalization of complex processes and their systematization. The information base is the scientific works of domestic and foreign authors, as well as the results of our own empirical research. The purpose of the article is to develop theoretical and methodological principles for the formation of an effective system for managing the economic security of the agricultural sector, which ensures the stability and competitiveness of enterprises in dynamic environmental conditions. The formation of an effective system for managing the economic security of the agricultural sector requires a comprehensive approach that integrates organizational, economic, informational and social components. Ensuring the economic security of the agricultural sector in the face of modern challenges, in particular military, economic, climatic and social, is a complex multifactorial process. The prerequisites for this process are formed on the basis of the interaction of state, market and institutional factors that ensure the stability, sustainability and development of the agricultural sector in the long term. According to the author of the article, the economic security of the agricultural sector is an integrated system for ensuring the stable, effective and sustainable functioning of agricultural enterprises and the industry as a whole, based on the balanced use of economic, social, environmental and technological resources, the ability to adapt to internal and external threats, as well as the implementation of sustainable development strategies that guarantee food security, competitiveness and long-term viability of the agricultural sector in the context of global transformations. A systematic and comprehensive approach to determining the economic security of the agricultural sector, which takes into account both internal and external factors, as well as the integration of the principles of sustainable development, is key to the formation of effective management mechanisms and ensuring the stability of agricultural production in modern conditions. The functions of managing the economic security of the agricultural sector include: forecasting and identifying threats; planning security measures; organizing and coordinating management actions; monitoring and controlling the state of security; analyzing the effectiveness of the implemented measures; implementing preventive and reactive actions; information support for management. The implementation of these functions provides a comprehensive, systematic and adaptive approach to protecting agricultural enterprises from various risks, which contributes to their stable development and competitiveness. The system of economic security management of the agricultural sector is a multi-level, integrated structure that combines methods, tools, levers and support for achieving sustainable development, stability and protection of agricultural enterprises from various threats. It covers both economic and social, technological, legal and information aspects, which makes it a key element of agricultural sector management in modern conditions.
