System aspects of the multifunctional agriculture

This paper proposes a methodological solution of the problem of systematization of the multifunctionality of agriculture in terms of the functional and structural approach. The authors substantiate the classification of the agriculture’s functions, allowing to distinguish accurately frames of the multifunctionality system research, its temporal, informative and spatial aspects. The special attention is paid to the formation of an emergent effect of the multifunctional agriculture and to the differentiation of its manifestations during implementation of the agriculture’s basic functions.
