Post- and neo-industrial technologies in the post-war development of the agrarian system in Ukraine

The study focuses on the identification of directions of innovative development of the agrarian system of Ukraine in the war and post-war periods. The relevance of solving this fundamental scientific and practical task lies in the fact that the agrarian structure of Ukraine in modern socio-economic conditions requires the introduction of new and fundamentally different from the pre-war ways of development, which would make the most of modern science-based methods of development of organisational and legal entities. The purpose of the study is to outline the challenges facing Ukrainian agriculture in the post-war development of the agrarian system and their solutions based on post- and neo-industrial technologies. System-structural analysis and synthesis, monographic, historical methods, methods of abstraction and economic comparisons were used in the investigation. Theoretical and methodological included concepts, provisions, findings presented in the academic publications of Ukrainian and foreign scientists, theories of innovation, communication, information technology. The study considered the substance of technological structures and their influence on economic development in the historical aspect, along with modern models of industrialization and the level of innovative development both in Ukraine and other world countries. The results and challenges of the innovative development of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine for 2000-2020 are analysed, the branches whose low rates of development threaten the food security of the country and the further development of the agro-industrial complex, in particular the challenges and threats caused by the Russian Federation’s full-scale war and occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine, are highlighted. Modern innovative post- and neo-industrial technologies (in particular, technologies of drip irrigation, production of vegetables in the closed ground, precision farming, production of vegetable meat, etc.) were identified and singled out, the broad introduction of which in the post-war period will not only restore the pre-war potential of the agro-industrial comlex, but also ensure its further competitive development. The obtained conclusions and findings can be used in practice: enterprises, rural and urban households – producers of agricultural products and food products on the widespread introduction of drip irrigation technologies, greenhouses, precision farming and robotics, non-animal production of meat and dairy products with high efficiency; specialised scientific institutions and start-ups on the deployment of extensive research towards the creation of new innovative post- and neo-industrial technologies for the production of agricultural products and food; state executive authorities to stimulate the widespread introduction of these technologies to ensure post-war recovery and further competitive innovative development of the agro-industrial complex
