The article aims to analyse livestock production factors and search for reserves to increase efficiency in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The main tasks of Ukraine in the framework of achieving the SDGs and the role of livestock in this process are identified. The world experience of sustainable livestock development has proved its contribution to overcoming world hunger. The main trends in livestock production development in agricultural enterprises of Ukraine are identified. The influence of livestock intensification on the economic and social efficiency of livestock production is determined. Ways to increase the efficiency of livestock production through innovation are substantiated. The system of factors of production efficiency is expanded, taking into account its social aspects; in particular, it is shown that the development of livestock has a significant impact on the internal social efficiency of enterprises, affecting labour demand and wages. The strengthening of specialization and concentration in livestock in Ukraine is following the same global trends. The influence of livestock intensification on the formation of the ratio "costs - production results" is proved, which made it possible to identify the possibility of increasing profitability while rising production costs per head of livestock. Increasing the production intensity can lead to increased technological, economic, and social efficiency.

The current legal frameworks of the Russian Federation, which intermediate socio-natural relations, may contradict the course set towards sustainable development due to their dependence on the formerly dominant technocratic view of the world leading to various systemic destructions. Not always do the quantitative indicators contribute to finding the best way of environmental-economic development. In this connection, the issue of a high-quality assessment of the effectiveness of strategies, plans, and other regulatory and legal documents in achieving sustainable development goals is analyzed. This paper considers the “ecological efficiency” assessment of the legislation as a value criterion measuring the relevance of the planning and strategic documents to the essence of sustainable development. The paper aims to expose the essence of the “ecological efficiency” concept and its role in the harmonization mechanism for socio-natural relationships. The dialectical method, which determines interconnections between the values existing earlier and the character of socio-natural development on the one hand, and the emerging environmental ethics-based comprehensive worldview and sustainable development on the other, was used as the primary research instrument. Research results showed the existing potential for the use of “ecological efficiency” as a value criterion to assess the relevance of state plans and strategies to the declared sustainable development goals. “Ecological efficiency” helps to resolve the current contradictions in social development management thus contributing to the formation of the sustainable development legislation relevant to the level of public consciousness and behavior. Keywords: ecological efficiency, strategic development, sustainable development legislation, sociocultural development factor.

Abstract The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are considered a unifying global goal setting agenda that every country is meant to achieve. One of those goals, SDG2, promises to ensure food security and nutrition within sustainable food systems. However, achieving that goal is riddled with uncertainty because of the way in which the world currently produces and consumes foods. The global trends of diets and the food systems that produce those diets suggest that they are neither healthy nor sustainable, which has implications for achieving SDG2. This paper characterizes the current state of global diets and food systems, the concept of “healthy and sustainable diets,” and the ethical considerations to achieving healthy and sustainable diets for sustainable development.

Development strategy of the world's largest cities in recent years "turned green" substantially and include as priority the maintenance of the quality of the environment and reduce the risks posed by global climate change. The article analyzes the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (2016-2030) from the standpoint of sustainability and quality of life of communities, primarily in the big cities. Proceeding from these positions the authors consider the relationship and interaction between different Goals, targets and indicators for their implementation. Particular attention is paid to international indices of city prosperity and cities outlook, the global cities index. Constructive methodological and instrumental basis for solving urban problems is the concept of ecosystem services and payments for these services. The largest cities and megalopolises should be prioritized and pioneer objects in the system of payments for ecosystem services or compensation for the loss of the quality of these services, which eventually should become nationwide and provide a sustainable long-run development of the country.

Our paper aims at assessing the role of education in implementing the strategy for sustainable development. We show how education might be used to promote the provisions set out by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the UNESCO Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We argue that sustainable education might help to give the young people necessary knowledge and skills that are required to understand what the SDGs represent and to take part in implementing the necessary changes and mitigating the climate change and the global warming as well-informed and concerned citizens. Understanding and embracing the concept of sustainability represents one of the main issues of the society and education plays a key role in that process. Thence, we think that the role of education is sustainable development strategy is crucial which requires additional support for education from the governments and private actors.

The aim of the paper is to provide the objective assessment of progress in the implementation of the goals of the local sustainable development strategy by the districts of Kuyavian-Pomeranian Province. In order to achieve our aim, we have devised, using methods of taxonomic analysis, the synthetic indicator (taking a lot of different measures of sustainable development into account), which shows the degree of the accomplishment of goals adopted in the sustainable development goals. In the collective of units under study, there is a significant differentiation of the level of indicators analyzed within the framework of the sustainable development strategy. It must be emphasized that there are as many as 12 districts in the lower quartile of the distribution of the synthetic measure, i.e., its level was below 0.25. 11 self-government units were in the second quartile of the distribution, i.e., in range between 0.25 and 0.5 of the synthetic indicator. Relatively big taxonomic distances between synthetic measures for individual districts, with quite a large set of features, show significant differentiation among these parts of Kuyavian-Pomeranian Province in terms of local sustainable development. Despite the fact that the examined objects belong to the same administrative unit, which would appear to be relatively coherent, they do not develop at the same pace. Moreover, given a broad set of indicators, they differ significantly when it comes to the rate of their sustainable development. The findings of this paper highlight the use of multidimensional taxonomic analysis for measuring the progress of local units in the degree of the accomplishment of the sustainable development goals. First of all, it helps to show differences in the implementation of the development strategies across districts. What is more, it shows these differences on the basis of the complete set of diverse features rather than single parameters (e.g., pace of growth). Thus, the multidimensional approach is a lot more precise when it comes to showing differences among the examined objects.

Статья посвящена рассмотрению особенностей управления общественными финансами в парадигме устойчивого развития и влияния на социальные, экономические и экологические процессы в государстве. Концепция устойчивого развития была впервые рассмотрена в 1987 г., но в большинстве стран мира формирование социально-экономической политики на принципах устойчивости связано с принятием глобального документа «Цели в области устойчивого развития» (англ. Sustainable Development Goals). Швейцария является одной из стран, которая на законодательном уровне закрепила достижение устойчивого развития как национальную цель, реализуемую в рамках деятельности всех субъектов хозяйствования, в том числе в сфере управления общественными финансами. Посредством принятия Стратегии устойчивого развития осуществляется интеграция международных приоритетов развития в систему стратегического управления Швейцарии, которая затрагивает все уровни бюджетной системы. При формировании и изменении данного документа применяются трёхмерная модель устойчивого развития и модель основного капитала, суть которых раскрыта в статье. В ходе исследования было выявлено, что за период 2000–2020 гг. Швейцарии удалось повысить уровень устойчивости общественных финансов, а также социальную ориентированность: существенно снизились доля уровня государственного долга и объема дефицита федерального бюджета по отношению к ВВП, наблюдался рост доли расходов на социальное обеспечение, науку и образование. Применяемые меры контрциклической политики позволяют балансировать сальдо бюджетов бюджетной системы Швейцарии посредством установления бюджетных ограничений на размер расходной части, на которые оказывают влияние совокупность внешних и внутренних факторов. Текущий кризис, вызванный новой волной коронавирусной инфекции, отразился на финансовом результате федерального бюджета по итогам 2020 г. и изменил плановые показатели до 2024 г. В заключительной части проведен сравнительный анализ систем стратегического управления Швейцарии и России, выявлены проблемы отечественной системы. Обоснована возможность применения в российской практике швейцарских моделей с учётом особенностей нашей страны.

Abstract. The article discusses features of public finance management in the paradigm of sustainable development and impact on social, economic and environmental processes in the state. The Sustainable development concept was first considered in 1987, but the formation of social and economic policies based on the principles of sustainability is associated with the adoption of the global document "Sustainable Development Goals" in most countries of the world. Switzerland is one of the countries that has enshrined the achievement of sustainable development as a national goal at the legislative level. This goal is implemented in all incorporated and unincorporated businesses activities, including in the field of public finance management. Through the adoption of the Sustainable Development Strategy, international development priorities are being integrated into Switzerland's strategic management system, which affects all the budgetary system levels. During forming and changing this document, a three-dimensional model of sustainable development and a model of fixed capital are used, the essence of which is disclosed in the article. The article analyses that Switzerland had to increase the level of public fi-nances stability, as well as social orientation in 2000–2020: the share of the level of public debt and the volume of the federal budget deficit in relation to GDP has decreased significantly, and the share of spending on social security, science and education has grown. The applied countercyclical policy measures allow balancing the budget balance of the Swiss budgetary system by setting budgetary restrictions on the expenditure, which is influenced by a combination of external and internal factors. The current crisis caused by the new coronavirus infection is affecting the federal budget financial results of the current year and changing the planned targets until 2024. As a result of the study, the authors make comparative analysis of the Swiss and Russian strategic management systems, and identify problems of the domestic system. The possibility of implementing Swiss models in Russian practice are demonstrated taking into account the special aspects of our country.

The so called “Fourth Industrial Revolution” (4IR) 1, is an emerging phenomenon which will likely transform our lives and affect multiple sectors of society. This new revolution encompasses and combines a wide range of new technologies, such as quantum computing, nano and bio-technology, artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), and advance automation. Foreseeing all the impacts and ripple effects that these technologies will have in our societies, in the next years, is a sizeable and difficult task. Much of the debate has usually been focused on automation, which the Cambridge Dictionary defines as “the use of machines or computers instead of people to do a job, especially in a factory or office” 2. The ongoing debate focuses, on the potential of automation to generate production efficiency benefits vs. the threat to increase unemployment lines. But the actual effects (positive and negative) of this revolution may be much wider and deeper, including social and environmental impacts closely related to sustainable development. Following, we present a brief non-exhaustive commentary on some of the potential advantages and disadvantages of the 4IR from the perspective of the 17 goals adopted by all parties to the United Nations on September 2015, as part of an agenda to tackle global problems and reach sustainable development3.

Riau is an Indonesian province known for its large plantations. The plantation business makes the most significant contribution to the fiscal revenues of the province. This paper aims to innovate rural economy through the sustainable development of superior commodities in the plantation sub-sector of agriculture. Specifically, multi-criteria analysis (MCA) was performed to determine the superior commodities in each locality. The results show that the superior commodities include palm oil, rubber, coconut, cocoa, coffee, and sago. The development of these commodities could boost farmers’ income with the added value of planation products. On this basis, the fair use of land for all categories was highlighted from social, economic, and environmental perspectives, and recognized as essential to the development of sustainable plantations, which are integral to rural economy and land sustainability. The proposed development strategy for superior commodities in plantation is in line with the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Riau Province, Indonesia.

The article is devoted to the strategies of innovation-oriented development of agricultural enterprises for milk production taking into account the variability of the external and internal environment of their operation. It is proved that the definition of prospects for the development of dairy farming should be based on a strategic approach that allows the most adequate way to respond to the challenges of a dynamic changing environment. It is established that the development of dairy farming can be attributed to the fourth technological way, which provides full mechanization of production processes, but due to its specificity it develops on the basis of a combination of different technological ways: intensive-technocratic, natural-innovative and natural. The results of the analysis of the development of dairy farming are contradictory, because, on the one hand - the natural indicators of production efficiency are increasing, and on the other - the prerequisites for the creation of internal reserves of expanded reproduction are absent. It is calculated that despite the existing positive trends (growth of cow productivity, milk sales prices), the dynamics of the increase in production costs, which occur against the background of declining cattle, including cows, offsets positive changes in economic performance of the industry and agricultural producers. It is argued that the effective development of agricultural enterprises for milk production in the near strategic perspective is possible only if the negative trends are overcome. The constituent elements of the strategy of innovation-oriented development of dairy farming have been developed, which provides for technical and technological renewal of the production potential of agricultural enterprises and the introduction of IT technologies in the management system. Strategic models of dairy cattle breeding development are substantiated: preservation of existing development tendencies, which will be dominated by milk and beef production in private farms with preservation of extensive type of management; priority of milk farms development; priority is the development of large innovation-oriented agricultural enterprises with simultaneous state stimulation of the cooperative form of milk production by farmers and private farms. The components of the innovation-oriented strategy of dairy farming development are systematized, which envisages strengthening the fodder base, increasing the level of animal feeding, introducing complex mechanization and automation of production processes and transferring the industry to the latest technologies, using high-yielding, specialized livestock breeds. wages. Key words: dairy cattle breeding, development strategy, strategic planning, IT technologies, innovations.
