Development of critical technologies in the context of strengthening environmental, energy and food security

Abstract

Introduction. In the conditions of climate change, ensuring the environmental, energy and food components’ resilience of national security needs to optimize the agricultural nature management. In this context, a special role belongs to the development of critical technologies as cross-sectoral climate-neutral innovations in the agriculture and energy. Purpose. With this in mind, the article is devoted to studying the features of critical technologies development as cross-sectoral climate-neutral innovations in the field of agricultural nature management to strengthening environmental, energy and food security. Method (methodology). To achieve the goal set and solve certain tasks, the following general scientific and specific methods based on an abstract-logical approach were used: system analysis; content analysis; grouping and systematization; induction; deduction; graphical and tabular representation. The application of a cross-sectoral approach to the circular use of natural resources, the determination of the features of critical technologies development made it possible to form the structure of agro-industrial hackathon functioning as a way of developing critical technologies in the context of strengthening environmental, energy and food security. Results. Strengthening environmental, energy and food security involves the use of critical technologies as a stimulus for the sustainable development of the national economy. The article has considered the features of critical technologies development as cross-sectoral climate-neutral innovations in the field of agricultural nature management. The relationship between sustainable development and national security as a way of determining resource potential at the national level is established. In terms of determining the criticality of the economic sectors and the criticality of individual objects in a regional and national sense, the critical technologies development is considered. The criticality criteria for the technologies in the field of agro-industrial complex have been formed. The advantages of the transition to the optimization agricultural nature management on the basis of the development of cross-sectoral critical climate-neutral technologies for strengthening environmental, energy and food security are determined. The article has proposed the structure of the agro-industrial hackathon functioning as a way of developing critical technologies in the context of strengthening environmental, energy and food security. Prospects for further research are to determine the resilience of agricultural enterprises to the critical technologies development as cross-sectoral climate-neutral innovations on the basis of strengthening environmental, energy and food security.
