Abstract

Introduction. Today, governments of developed countries and international projects are actively working on sustainable development indicators. EU agricultural policy encourages farmers to implement eco-friendly farming practices and report on their effectiveness. Considering the vector of European integration, the post-war recovery of the Ukrainian agricultural sector will require business entities to follow the experience of European colleagues to apply for foreign investments. Purpose. The article's purpose is a SWOT analysis of methods and systems for measuring indicators of sustainable development in agriculture, which cane implemented in Ukraine in the context of the post-war reconstruction of the agricultural sector based on the green economy. Materials and methods. The information base of this research is open data from the websites of international projects and organizations, survey materials conducted by the Center for Environmental Initiatives "Ekodiya", and the works of foreign and Ukrainian researchers devoted to assessing indicators of sustainable development. The methodological basis of the research is the method of systematic analysis and comparison, together with the use of induction and deduction, analogy, and logical generalization. Results. The article reveals the advantages and disadvantages of methods that can be implemented in Ukraine to measure indicators of sustainable development in the agricultural sector. In particular, topics and indicators of sustainable development according to the RISE method and the method of preparing reports in the Position Green software were disclosed. SWOT analysis showed that the RISE method needs to be updated regarding software; however, it allows for preparing various development scenarios and including interviewer comments in the report. Instead, in the Position Green software, the Sustainability Report can be designed based on different standards to meet the relevant business needs. With flexibility in creating reports and a comprehensive toolkit for collecting the necessary data, the Position Green software optimizes activities to reveal the unique potential for value creation and positive impact. Prospects. These measurement systems will be added to the sustainable development platform we are developing as part of the MSCA4Ukraine program funded by the European Union. In further studies, we will present a sustainable development platform adapted to national specifics, enabling agricultural enterprises to report on the results of implementing eco-friendly farming practices, which is vital in attracting foreign investments for the post-war recovery of Ukraine's agricultural sector.
