“…This indicates that there is a low technological level of carpentry processes. Countries with a highly developed sawmill and carpentry industry, which is the main supplier of waste, have achieved the most significant results in the use of wood waste (Strapchuk and Mykolenko 2021). These countries include the United States, Canada, Japan, and several countries of Northern and Central Europe.…”

This paper considers modern production technologies of solid biofuels from the point of view of compliance with labor protection and environmental safety measures. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that environmental safety, in our opinion, supported by the results of the analysis of literature sources and their research, covers almost all residential areas of the community. The purpose of this scientific research is to develop theoretical foundations and practical management solutions to ensure environmental safety when producing solid biofuels. Thematic works of dome-144 stic and foreign specialists form the theoretical and methodological basis of the research. The following methods of scientific research were used as objective methods: logical analysis of knowledge, scientific generalization, deduction and analogies. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the application of established models and emergency situations as well as environmental safety in practice. An environmental safety system was developed that regulates the state in its natural conditions based on established production control models for solid biofuels. The article presents recommendations for students of higher educational institutions (technical areas) to study materials on labor protection and the environmental safety of our time.

“…Although the proposals can improve the efficiency of agricultural enterprises, even ensuring their more sustainable development, it is only the beginning of this extensive process. Implementation of the concept of circular economy in the context of regions on the example of the Kharkiv region was studied by S. Strapchuk & O. Mykolenko (2021). Researchers have identified new approaches to production and consumption within the framework of this concept to maximise the efficiency of production at each stage of the life cycle.…”

Given the role of the agricultural sector in the development of the Ukrainian economy, it is important to find methods to improve the efficiency of its operation. Since one of them is the introduction of a circular economy, the study of cases of its application in the country is relevant. The purpose of the study was to show an example of the implementation of this concept in Ukraine, depicting the advantages and disadvantages of its application. The main research methods were analysis, comparison, and forecasting. The most significant example of implementing the principles of circular economics at the enterprise, namely the company Myronivsky Hliboproduct, was evaluated. It was shown that the company's approach is based on processing waste into biogas and using it as energy. This process not only helps to avoid increasing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, but also makes much more efficient use of the available resources. In addition, the features water recycling and existing trends in this area were described. Special attention was paid to the difficulties that the company faced during the start of the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, and what actions were taken to improve the situation. Conclusions were also drawn about the likely opportunities for the company to achieve its goals in the context of the circular economy, considering current trends in the development of Ukraine. The practical value of the study lies in its usefulness for developing recommendations for enterprises to implement the concept of a circular economy. In addition, data from the study can be used by state representatives to improve the effectiveness of policy implementation in the agricultural sector

“…To achieve this goal, the study clustered enterprises by factors of constant intensification using the k-means clustering method. In particular, the grouping was based on the level of crop diversity, application of organic fertilisers, labour costs, use of mineral fertilisers, depreciation, use of fuel materials per hectare of land [7]. Cluster analysis was conducted with the data for the years 2019 and 2020 for 514 and 510 enterprises, respectively, engaged in agricultural activities in Kharkiv Oblast.…”

“…Therefore, the government of the country faces an urgent issue of agribusiness development through the constant intensification and implementation of strategies for the sustainable development of agricultural enterprises [7]. The importance of sustainable agriculture lies not only in ensuring ecological balance but also in taking into account the values of the environment and society [8].…”

Growing food shortage encourage businesses to increase yields, mainly through extensive capacity building. However, this path often leads to a negative impact on the environment and does not consider social issues. Increasing yields requires the implementation of strategies for sustainable agricultural development and intensification of production. Selecting such strategies at the level of agricultural enterprises requires their classification and analysis. The purpose of the study is to group agrarian enterprises in Kharkiv Oblast and identify clusters with high potential for the implementation of alternative strategies for sustainable intensification. Based on the concept proposed by J. Pretty, the study classifies enterprises by the ecological and economic, socio-economic and environmental dimensions on the basis of such factors as crop diversity, depreciation, organic fertiliser application, labour costs, use of mineral fertilisers, fuel materials per hectare of land. Data from 514 agricultural production enterprises in Kharkiv Oblast in 2019 and 510 enterprises in 2020 were used for the categorisation. The data were processed through a cluster analysis method using specialised Microsoft Excel and SPSS21 software. The study presents an algorithm for choosing strategies for sustainable development and sustainable intensification of agricultural enterprises based on cluster analysis. Classification of enterprises by the level of diversity of agricultural crops, application of organic fertilisers, labour costs, application of mineral fertilisers, depreciation level, fuel materials per hectare of land allowed identifying agricultural enterprises that have the greatest potential to implement sustainable intensification practices from the proposed alternatives. The introduction of integrated pest management tools has been suggested for companies that consume significant amounts of mineral fertilisers and fuels and lubricants. The practical significance of the findings lies in providing recommendations for selecting sustainable intensification strategies depending on the level of enterprise yields, the amount of mineral fertiliser and fuel and lubricants used, the diversity of crops, etc
