The tasks of implementing the concept of sustainable development on the example of the sheep industry

In modern scientific literature there are many studies devoted to the concept of sustainable development. Nevertheless, the issues of sustainable development in agriculture, namely in the sheep breeding industry, remain insufficiently studied. For the purpose of the study, various approaches to the definition of sustainable development are given, determinant factors are listed, their content and influence on the development of strategies for the implementation of economic activity are revealed. From the list formulated in the UN Resolution, the primary tasks, the solution of which will lead to an increase in the sustainability of agricultural production development, are highlighted. The main factors pointing to the need to revise sectoral strategies include world population growth, increasing competition for resources, ongoing climate change, and loss of biodiversity. Agricultural production, in particular, sheep breeding, is considered within the framework of the concept of sustainable development, taking into account the sectoral specifics of its development and implementation. In general, sustainable development in sheep breeding requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account the interests of all parties involved animals, farmers, society and nature. The tasks of sustainable development of the Russian Federation are relevant and significant also for the development of sheep breeding activity in the Russian agrarian practice, and the effective development of the sheep breeding industry in those regions that specialize in sheep breeding and production of sheep products directly depends on their solution.
