To develop a management model of the sustainable development of the agrarian sector in the region it is necessary to define the interpretation of the concept of "economic sustainability of the region" and "economic sustainability of the agrarian sector." The search for new directions and ways of agrarian activities development, which reduce its negative impact on the environment, defined the emergence of a new interpretation of agrarian production sustainability as production, based on the quality of food, quality of life and environmental safety, preservation of conditions for sustainable food ensuring of humanity in the long term. In this general ecological approach to the concept of "sustainability of agrarian sector development of the region" the following categories are distinguished: ecological, productive, economic and social. It is appropriate to supplement them in an intellectual and innovative component.
