ABSTRACT

Globally, energy needs are increasing and leading to increased energy use on agricultural land. In this regard, in the face of growing environmental problems, it is extremely important to apply farming methods that maximize energy efficiency and save resources. This is the reason for the choice of the topic of the scientific article. The purpose of this study is to analyze possible ways of agroecological transition and develop recommendations on the organizational and economic foundations of energy conservation in agriculture. The article uses the methods of economic research: monographic, abstract-logical, computationalconstructive, correlation-regression analysis, deterministic factor analysis, economic and mathematical modeling, etc. Results: in the context of the energy transition, agriculture faces a dual task: to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and provide society, in addition to food, with bioenergy to replace fossil fuels. The reality of this task depends on the ability of agriculture to achieve energy neutrality, that is, to balance external energy consumption with energy recovery from internal sources. This, in turn, depends on the political will of the states and the support of society. Conclusions: the most important principle of agricultural policy should be the search for harmonization of state energy policy and its consequences for the agricultural world with the goals of food production, combating soil artificiality, carbon accumulation in the soil, maintaining biodiversity and public health well-being.
