Abstract

A critical analysis of the concept of sustainable development in the agrarian sector was carried out, as well as a determinant system of the sustainable development of agricultural sphere was defined and backed up with facts. Ecologoeconomic, conservative, process, synergetic and systematic approaches to the determination of sustainable development of agricultural sphere have been revealed. Following the systematic approach to its definition, the determinants of the sustainable development of agricultural sphere were grouped into the main (ecological, economic, institutional, political, social), as well as additional (informational, organizational, technic-technological). All of them have an impact on the efficiency of agriculture and development of rural territories in particular.
