The thesis is devoted to developing theoretical and methodological foundations of financial provision for organic agricultural production of Ukraine in the context of sustainable development paradigm.
Periodization of the sustainable development paradigm was made and key events in its formation were defined; an analysis of adjustment of sustainable development goals and objectives on a global scale was conducted, and, on that basis, its own periodization was suggested.
It was suggested to consider “green” finance as a segment of the financial system at the subnational, national and supranational levels, within which a set of ecological-economic and socio-economic relations between economic agents (state institutions, private investors and financial intermediaries) is formed, arising from the creation, use, and regulation of financial instruments to ensure sustainable economic development and obtaining socio-ecological- economic effect.
In order to substantiate the need for stimulating the organic agricultural production complex development, based on the panel data analysis for 14 countries using the principal component method and random effect model, a scientific and methodical approach to determining the impact of the intensity of the country’s natural resources use on economic growth rates through adjusted net savings was suggested.
It was suggested to consider the financial system for ensuring organic agricultural production as a set of economic relations that arise between stakeholders
of different levels in the process of multi-channel formation, distribution and use of financial resources of the organic agricultural production through targeted financial instruments in order to achieve the goal of sustainable development of the economy and society in accordance with the established principles of organic agricultural production and financial provision.
The concept of multi-channel financial provision for organic agricultural production was developed. It is aimed at the formation of green growth through internal and external channels, taking into account the principles of organic agricultural production and financial provision, harmonization of the interests of a wide variety of stakeholders at different levels (micro-level, subnational, national, supranational) with regard to objects and methods of financing (traditional and/or alternative).
It was proved that the basis of the newest system of credit unions should become a real and effective self-regulation, based on the ideology of building a threetier deposit system. In order to determine the optimum amount of public and market financial provision of the agricultural sector and the relationship between them, a scientific and methodological approach based on the use of structural modeling tools was proposed.
The market for organic products is a dynamically developing market but remains unconsolidated. The leading players in the market are the USA, Germany, France, Great Britain. The Ukrainian market is developing dynamically, but despite its significant growth, it remains small in size and therefore has significant risks.
Based on a combination of principles of SWOT-analysis and PEST-analysis, vectors of strengthening the development of the financial provision of organic agricultural production in Ukraine were determined.
Based on the use of correlation-regression analysis, it was determined that the share of land is the most significant factor among the four selected ones (the
share of land in the organic agricultural production from the area of agricultural land, the number of producers, the share of urban population, GNP per capita).
Based on the taxonomic method for determining the integral indicator taking into account the most important factors influencing the general financial situation
of the sector, the general state of organic agricultural production development in Ukraine and the level of state financial provision, the scientific and methodological
approach for identifying the potential capacity of financial provision for organic agricultural production in Ukraine was developed.
The classification criteria of crowdfunding were identified as the following: the purpose of the project, the mechanism of the reverse cash flow formation, the
requirements of replenishment, the reservation of the target amount and inter-entity relations.
The study of classification criteria allowed systematizing the use of “green” bonds as instruments of the “green” finance by type, issuers, characteristics, and
debt regression.
