Abstract

The article discusses modern legal, managerial, digital approaches to ensuring the sustainable development of agriculture. The norms and standards of agricultural risk insurance, budget lending, organic agribusiness modeling and food safety developed by international institutions are evaluated. Methods of comparative, legal, informational analysis and scientific generalization of theoretical knowledge revealed organizational problems of budgeting and quality control of agricultural products, preventing food losses, and combating falsification of food products. It was noted that legal measures and management standards optimize agribusiness segments, reduce the number of intermediaries, and improve the trust of suppliers and consumers through direct links. The digitalization of agriculture contributes to the transparency of data exchange while reducing information imbalances and transaction costs for participants in agricultural markets. The connection of standards and norms of legal regulation of sustainable development of agriculture with food security in the EU and the EAEU is shown. The conclusions are indicated by the positive prospects for digital management of agribusiness subsidies and digital budgeting as the level increases in the EU and the EAEU. Unlike the EU, the EAEU is building a common space for organic and digital agriculture on the principles of Eurasian integration and cooperation.
