QUESTIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF AIC УДК 338.3:631.1 JEL: Q18, Q20 BORODINA Olena1, PROKOPA Ihor2 1Institute for Economics and Forecasting of the NAS of Ukraine, Research ID : http://www.researcherid.com/rid/M-2349-2017 SOCIO-ECONOMIC COMPONENT OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE BASIS OF AGROECOLOGY: SCIENTIFIC AND APPLIED ASPECTS The study emphasizes the lack of adequate focus on the socio-economic component of agroecology, the content of which as a scientific direction, public movement, and management method is usually represented in the context of the interaction between the natural environment and agriculture. The socio-economic, socio-cultural, and institutional factors influencing the agroecological transition of agriculture and rural areas to sustainable development are revealed, and directions of their activation for the formation of sustainable agro-food systems are shown. Socio-economic aspects of agroecology are reflected in the relations regarding the creation of its outputs – organic products and environmental public goods. Socio-cultural aspects, in turn, represent needs, values, motives, etc., and thus the behavior of people towards agroecological products. The institutional environment is shaped by regulations and unwritten rules that define the rules of production and consumption of these products. The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) interprets the term "agroecology" as essentially a socio-economic term. Keywords:agroecology; agri-food systems; socio-economic component; sustainable development.
