DIRECTIONS OF TRANSFORMATION OF THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN THE SYSTEM OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This article was prepared as part of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine's scholarship programme. It focuses on the study of the transformation of management systems for economic security in the agricultural sector in the context of sustainable development. The study is relevant due to modern challenges, particularly geopolitical threats and economic instability, as well as the need to integrate innovations and risk management in Ukrainian agriculture. It has been determined that sustainable development in the agricultural sector is only possible through the implementation of adaptive management systems that consider financial, technological, social and risk aspects of economic security. This study aims to develop and substantiate a conceptual model for transforming the management system for economic security in the agrarian sector. This model takes into account the principles of sustainable development and provides dynamic monitoring, effective risk management, financial stability, and the industry's innovative development. Such a model should focus on increasing the agrarian sector's flexibility, efficiency and stability in the face of internal and external challenges. This study employed a thorough methodological approach that included a theoretical analysis of scientific sources, the construction of a structural-logical model, the development of a system of indicators to assess management effectiveness, a comparative analysis of the best global practices and expert consultations, as well as a SWOT analysis. The study focuses on the theoretical, methodological and applied aspects of forming, developing and improving the economic security management system for the agricultural sector. This system includes the mechanisms, approaches, tools and methods that increase the efficiency of risk management and the financial stability and innovative activities of agricultural enterprises. The study's novelty lies in its comprehensive, integrated approach to transforming the economic security management system in the agricultural sector, taking into account the peculiarities of Ukraine's modern economic, geopolitical and social environment. For the first time, a two-level management model has been proposed which includes subsystems for identifying dangerous situations and implementing strategies to eliminate threats. This ensures a systematic and targeted response to various challenges. A more comprehensive and accurate assessment of the state of economic security and the effectiveness of its management is now possible thanks to an expanded system of complex indicators. For the first time, the integration of innovative technologies and human resources into the security management system is recognised as a key factor in increasing the competitiveness of the agricultural sector. Furthermore, the features of the market and geopolitical environment, which are inherently unstable, have been taken into account. This necessitates the need for flexible adaptive mechanisms for risk management and financial stability. The proposed model incorporates not only the stability of financial indicators, but also the assessment of the effectiveness of technological innovations and social factors. This provides a more comprehensive and adaptive approach to risk management. The implementation of a monitoring system and flexible strategic management enables the agricultural sector to respond in a timely manner to internal and external challenges, increase competitiveness and ensure the country's food security.
