A system for managing the region’s food potential based on sustainability

One of the essential tasks of forming a sustainable development model in Ukraine is providing opportunities and guarantees for the work of citizens and rational use of food potential. The process of forming and developing the food potential of the region is one of the directions of the economic management strategy. It involves creating and organizing a system of resources so that their interaction is a factor of success in achieving the enterprise’s strategic, tactical, and operational goals. The enterprise potential management system is based on formative regularities that cause the system’s transition to another qualitative state and regulatory ones that contribute to stabilizing the existing system quality. The article’s purpose is to highlight the conceptual principles of the formation and functioning of the region’s food potential management system in the conditions of sustainable development. The research process used methods of comparison, analysis, and theoretical and logical generalization. The methodological basis was the dialectical research method. In the research process, it was proved that the enterprise’s food potential management system is defined as a set of means and methods of directed influence on its interests with the aim of rational use of resources and ensuring the necessary proportions of development. Using a systematic approach, a classification of the properties of the system of management of the food potential, which characterizes the economic potential of the enterprise and its interaction with the external environment and the methodology of functioning and development of the enterprise’s potential, is proposed. A system of organizational and methodological special and general scientific principles of management of the food potential of the enterprise is identified (complex nature of management; dependence of economic opportunities for formation, distribution and optimal use of potential on the efficiency of functioning of enterprises in the region; systematic resource provision of the process of managing the potential of enterprises in the region). Keywords: sustainable development, region, food potential, management system, management decisions.
