The authors study the theoretical foundations and practical aspects of the formation and use of the socio-economic potential of agroecology, which will have a decisive impact on achieving optimal interaction between flora and fauna, society and the environment, and on ensuring a sustainable balance and optimizing mutual influence in the chain "human health - animal health - ecosystem health".

The monograph considers the transformation stages of the agroecological concept, the evolution of views on agroecology and the fundamental principles of its identification as a system of agricultural production and the development of sustainable, fair and inclusive agro-food systems. The work reveals the content of the agroecological transition and its socio-economic dimension. The forms and features of human activity in the field of agroecology available in Ukraine are summarized for the implementation of European principles of sustainable agro-rural development. The work identifies conceptual approaches to scaling the agroecological transition and the changes caused by it in agricultural production, systems of knowledge generation and dissemination, and the development of new socio-economic relations and institutional structure. The researchers highlight the methodological principles of assessing agroecological transition using the TAPE tool developed by FAO, assessment tools for compliance with agroecology principles, and the scoring system for assessing the quality of implementation of agroecology principles according to the 10 Elements of Agroecology. The study substantiates the need to create a Roadmap for implementing agroecological transition policies in Ukraine as a coordination document that would define the ways, stages, and means of transforming the agro-rural sector in the context of European integration.

The volume addresses a wide range of specialists in the fields of agricultural economics, sociology, food security, public administration and local self-government, for researchers, teachers, and students.
