Abstract

Various crises that have occurred recently demonstrate the instability of the existing model of economic development. A significant drawback of this model is the absolutization of economic growt to the detriment of solving social and environmental problems. At the same time, the problem of climate change requires studying the socio-ecological and economic aspects of sustainable development of agriculture, increasing productivity while protecting natural resources, transitioning to the production of environmentally friendly agricultural products, studying local and foreign knowledge and experience in this area. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of ensuring sustainable development of agriculture, study and assess the problems in this area in Azerbaijan, as well as identify areas for improving development prospects in accordance with world experience. The concept of sustainable development of agriculture is inextricably linked with the efficient use of economic and intellectual resources, improving the well-being and quality of life of the rural population, sustainable and balanced nature management. Only with a balance of economic, social and environmental components can sustainable development of this sphere of production be ensured in the long term. To achieve sustainable development of agriculture, it is necessary to systematically take into account all three factors, and on this basis it is advisable to develop mechanisms and tools that allow for quantitative and qualitative transformations.
