The impact of the strategy of socio-economic recovery of rural areas on the management of agricultural enterprises
This study was aimed at analysing the effectiveness of comprehensive recovery strategies in rural areas and their impact on management practices in the agricultural sector. The article considered the socio-economic recovery of rural areas as an important and multifaceted task that is becoming increasingly relevant in the world. The process of recovery includes a set of measures aimed at improving the economic, social and environmental conditions of rural regions. The introduction of modern technologies into production processes increases the productivity and competitiveness of the local economy. The article considered the role of different approaches to recovery, including multi-sectoral, resource-based, innovative, inclusive, ecosystem, political and administrative, and sustainable development approaches. Each of them can be adapted to the specific conditions and needs of rural regions, creating a basis for comprehensive and sustainable recovery. The article analysed the impact of the war in Ukraine on the agricultural sector, which is one of the key components of rural development. As a result, the need for further support and investment in the agricultural sector for its recovery and sustainable development was highlighted. Successful socio-economic rehabilitation of rural areas depends on coordinated actions of various stakeholders, including the state, local authorities, business and civil society. An important component is the development and implementation of strategies that take into account local characteristics and needs, ensuring sustainable development and improving the quality of life in rural areas. Only a comprehensive approach to recovery can ensure long-term and sustainable development that will become the basis for future prosperity in rural areas
