“…In turn, the Ukrainian strategy «Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, Modernization and Innovation, Market and Institutional Transformation» by 2050 provides a gradual transition from the use of equipment running on diesel fuel to biodiesel [13]. Furthermore, with constant consumption, non-renewable sources of energy raw materials (oil, natural gas, coal) will be exhausted in the future [14]. A key indicator of the economic efficiency of GHG emissions from the use of energy in agriculture can be the ratio of the value of gross production (in constant prices of a certain period) to the volume of carbon dioxide emissions from the energy used, which was spent on the agricultural production process;…”

The article is devoted to the study of the economic efficiency of GHG emissions from the use of energy in agriculture in the EU and the candidate country for accession - Ukraine. Using the abstract-logical method, the essence of the category "economic efficiency of greenhouse gas emissions" was clarified and an indicator for its assessment was proposed. By actual statistical data and the method of economic analysis, calculations of the economic efficiency of carbon dioxide emissions from the use of energy in agriculture of the EU member states and Ukraine were made. The key factor influencing the economic efficiency of GHG emissions from energy consumption in the agricultural sector was identified. Due to econometric method of approximation estimation and the Excel software package, the presence of a direct, high-density linear relationship between energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions in agricultural production was established. By ranking method and comparative economic analysis, a threshold value of energy consumption per hectare of agricultural land was found, which corresponds to a relatively high value gross production per ton of carbon dioxide emissions among the studied countries. It was established that for the candidate country for joining the EU - Ukraine and for the two Baltic countries - Latvia and Estonia, in order to increase the level of economic efficiency of GHG emissions in terms of implementation the European Green Deal, it is worth paying primary attention to the growth of economic productivity. Also, due to graphical and tabular methods of processing statistical data, it was established that the use of environmentally friendly energy (in particular, electric energy) in the process of agricultural production is not a key factor affecting the economic efficiency of GHG emissions.

“…Furthermore, the EU member states pay constant attention to the problems of food stability and security [42]. As mentioned earlier, according to the Farm to Fork strategy, the European Commission will take action to reduce the overall use and risk of chemical pesticides by 50% and the use of more hazardous pesticides by 50% by 2030.…”

This article is devoted to assessing and substantiating the threats for countries/exporters of agricultural products to the EU under conditions of the European Green Deal. The revealed comparative advantages index (RCA), comparison method, correlation and regression analysis, and taxonomic method have been applied. According to the RCA index the main causes for the relatively significant volume of agri-food exports by some countries to the EU have been identified; using the comparison method it was found that among the leading countries by agricultural products export to the EU, many states do not meet the European Green Deal target criteria for agriculture. Correlation and regression analysis has revealed that among the chosen factors only the volume of fertilisers use per cropland has direct and strong influence on CO2eq emissions; by a taxonomic method the threats value for the leading agri-food exporters to the EU has been calculated. The major agri-food exporters to the EU under conditions of the European Green Deal targets till 2030 have a high threat regarding reduction of their supply to the Member States in the case of a possible Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism or the introduction of other import restriction mechanisms in future. The results of the study can be used by the government and other executive bodies of the analysed countries to make adequate and rapid decisions to avoid the threats of possible agri-food exports reduction to the EU under the further European Green Deal implementation.

We have enough research to determine the significance of the outlined issues, assessment of threats and probabilistic consequences in terms of individual industries and countries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Issues of environmental security, fuel and energy independence have been forming political and economic territories for several centuries. Current events in Ukraine have become a litmus test, which clearly highlights the dangers of resource monopolies and the transfer of economic benefits. The issue of ensuring the energy system in climate neutrality became relevant even before the aggression by Russia. However, today, there is no country, it has not recognized that there is the urgent need to develop and implement effective tools for economic development in a sustainable environment. The modern cost-oriented model of knowledge of economic processes has led not only to the irrational use of natural potential. Large-scale use of natural resources and the irrational organization of production (including agricultural) disrupt the process of their reproduction, which, in turn, leads to the depletion of bioresources and, as a consequence, can lead humanity to ecological catastrophe. Certain solutions have been proposed to address these issues. To ensure the efficient use of the resources of the agricultural sector and the reliable reflection of biological processes, it is proposed to recognize the biological form of capital as self-growing and self-reproducing value, which, in the process of biological transformation, allows obtaining an additional unit of benefits. The study examines, in detail, the promising areas of the transformation of the agricultural sector in the framework of a technologically integrated European Green Deal in the EU. In this study, to determine the potential opportunities for the ecological transformation of agriculture, discrete analytical models of the assessment of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine were used. Representative data use statistical indicators of Ukraine and, to illustrate potential opportunities, present a comparison of export data to EU countries. In addition, it reveals the realized and potential opportunities of Ukraine’s entry into the European market through the prism of the implementation programs of EU environmental policy. The place and significance of assimilation potential for a reduction in the anthropogenic impact on the environment, and providing the self-restoration of natural resources, are substantiated. It is determined that one of the most effective tools for low-cost reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions is the national-level implementation of environmental-quota trade and the development of organic production. The study includes an analytical assessment of the expected emission reductions from environmental initiatives’ implementation. Prospects for further research are the development of an effective mechanism for the systematic management of the biological potential reproduction of the agricultural sector while reducing anthropogenic impact on the environment.
