Promoting the stimulating role of agroeconomic science

The role of economic science in improving the sustainability and efficiency of agricultural development will increase when it has specific objectives in close connection with innovative technologies for the production and processing of agri-food products. The main directions of agricultural and economic science in the scientific and economic justification of solving problems of technological potential development of the agro-industrial complex, its adaptation to the systemic challenges of our time are revealed. Despite rather a large list of economic problems of the agro-industrial complex considered in the scientific research, some problems are still paid to insufficient attention. For example, in solving the most important socio-economic problem of improving the quality of life of the population, the problem of wage policy plays a special role. However, in the recent years there has been a stable tendency to limit basic scientific research on the problem of improving the policy of stimulating labor in the agricultural sector in the conditions of its innovative development. The article substantiates the need to increase the prestige of sectoral economic science. Increasing the importance of economic science in sustainable agricultural development requires new approaches and institutional solutions that include both external and internal conditions for its transformation. Special attention is paid to the development of scientific schools and the training of young agricultural economists.
