How the mission will help us to deal with these challenges?
Let’s consider a few examples.

USA. USDA REE Action Plan 2014
Main aim is transition to the sustainable development of agriculture which defined as (1) producing enough to satisfy human needs, (2) enhancing environmental quality and protecting the natural resource base, (3) being profitable, and (4) increasing the quality of life for farmers, farm workers, and society as a whole.

Germany. The Policy Strategy – Bioeconomy
Major challenges:
providing enough food and healthy food for a growing global population,
climate change,
the loss of soil fertility and biodiversity.
The “bio-based economy”, offers the opportunity both to make an important contribution to mastering these challenges and simultaneously to advance the transition from an fossil-based economy to an economy based on renewable resources.

Green Paper on Food, Nutrition, Agriculture and Rural Areas
The purpose of this program is the beginning of a discussion about planning the future development of the German agribusiness and rural areas.
The goal is to have an agricultural sector that takes on responsibility for animals and the environment and at the same time seizes its economic opportunities.

Ukraine. Single and Comprehensive Strategy and Action Plan for Agriculture and Rural Development in Ukraine for 2015-2020
The overall objective is to increase agricultural competitiveness and food security, and to promote rural development in a sustainable manner in line with EU and international standards.
Ukraine will develop a competitive, export-oriented agriculture sector; an agri-processing industry will produce competitive food products corresponding to international safety and quality standards.

To sum up
The USA and Germany, have a clear vision of the mission of agriculture and rural territories.
The Ukrainian strategy reflects the medium-term directions of development, which weakly interact.
There is no vision of a holistic system of agriculture and rural areas in the context of social and economic relations.
The current situation indicates that the agricultural sector develops in the stochastic direction.

Mission Statement
The mission of Ukrainian agriculture is formation of such industry, which as a part of a whole national economic system would ensure full implementation of the interests of the state and the Ukrainian nation.
Therefore, the first step is to outline the general borders of social responsibility of an agriculture. Such borders will be an objective tool during the discussion regarding the interaction of specific elements of a unitary economic system.
