Abstract

The paper substantiates the necessity to rethink the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement in terms of the transformation of the food systems of Ukraine and the EU following the requirements of the European Green Deal. The spotlight is turned on the features and objectives of the EU agri-food system modernization that are way beyond agriculture covering the stimulation of changes in the whole food chain. The importance of implementing two key strategies in the field of food security (2021–2027) – “From farm to fork” (F2F) and “Biodiversity” designed to create European sustainability standards on gobal food systems is emphasized. The difference between the European and Ukrainian food systems is revealed, highlighting the significant structural imbalances in Ukraine’s food system. Structural distortions in Ukrainian agriculture consist in the presence of monofunctional large-scale export-oriented agri-holdings on the one side and farming households producing a variety of goods locally that were moved outside the state’s support on the other. Agri-holdings have significant economic and political power and influence the priorities and mechanisms of state regulation policy exacerbating structural distortions. Thus, there is the tendency in Ukraine to strengthen the role of industrialized agriculture representatives, who ignore the principles of sustainable agriculture and fair spatial development. Overcoming these structural distortions and the development and implementation of an effective agricultural and rural development policy and considering the latest trends of the European green course is seen as an important and necessary prerequisite for the revision of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement. The priority directions to implement the principles and methods of strategic planning and state regulation of agricultural and rural development in Ukraine based on EU’s “Green Deal” are substantiated
