Ecological and economic security as a factor of sustainable rural development

Abstract

Today, in the 21st century, our society rapidly exhausts natural resources without care for the preservation of the environment. The dependence on the environmental factor in such sectors of the economy as the agricultural one that thoroughly depends on natural resources, became decisive, and this cannot be ignored when assessing the development of the territory, including the territory of the Russian Federation. In this work, the author considers the problem of ensuring environmental safety in a market economy and proves that it is primarily associated with the emergence of threats and risks of environmental and economic security. The author has proposed mechanisms for the sustainable development of agricultural production and concluded that environmental and economic security should be considered as a single system of interaction between the ecosphere, sociosphere and technosphere.
