Abstract

Today, decentralisation reform has been completed in Ukraine, and rural areas received resources for their development and became responsible for it. The study is based on the assumption that the effective mechanism for enhancing sustainable development of rural areas in Ukraine is to create agricultural cooperatives. They form an economic tool and a mechanism that positively affects the growth of communities' social capital and stimulates residents to develop the type of thinking focusing on sustainable development. An econometric model of the impact of the agricultural cooperative on local development was made to test this assumption. The study results proved the positive impact of agricultural cooperatives on sustainable development, which might be the basis for the formation of state, regional, and local policies to stimulate the establishment of agricultural cooperatives in rural communities of Ukraine. Results might be applied in the development of the cooperative movement in other countries.
