This book presents a multidisciplinary collection of original
contributions made by the leading scholars and practitioners on
researching, building, and maintaining sustainable agricultural
systems. Being the first of its kind, the book is divided into two
volumes. This book presents a comprehensive and informed review of
the current state of multidisciplinary knowledge on sustainability
in agriculture. The gaps in the scholarly literature are identified
and rigorously analyzed, presenting a clear picture of the
promising research directions. The authors critically analyze the
very concept of sustainable agricultural systems, primarily
focusing on the interactions existing between their integral
components and with external environments. Relying on the
provisions of complex systems science, the scholars then discuss
the best approaches and methodologies used to build a comprehensive
understanding of agricultural systems, with relation to achieving
and maintaining their sustainability. More than that, this book
holds two rich sections on (1) agricultural economics and (2) rural
sustainability. Understanding sustainable development as a movement
toward clearly defined and measurable goals, a set of chapters
explore those policies, practices, technologies, and management
systems that have an impact on the sustainability of agricultural
systems. Agricultural sustainability is an urgent issue to be
addressed, and this book makes a unique contribution. Due to its

Innovation is of critical value in the modern global economy, as it
performs several important economic functions. The first is related
to supporting the sustainability of socio-economic systems,
preventing the emergence of crises and, if they do occur, providing
solutions to overcome their consequences. Secondly, innovation
allows for the activation of economic growth and social progress
through the rationalization of economic activities. Thirdly,
innovation supports the global competitiveness of economic systems,
allowing for the specialization of production and sales of unique
goods that are in high demand in both domestic and global markets.
At the same time, innovational development in economic systems is
required to mitigate the high levels of risk and requires both
effective management and a reliable normative and legal foundation.
This book studies the economic and legal foundations of managing
the innovational development of economic systems from an
interdisciplinary perspective, bringing together the thoughts of
international scholars in management, economics and law.
This book addresses a wide range of issues relating to the
theoretical substantiation of the necessity of Industry 4.0, the
development of the methodological tools for its analysis and
evaluation, and practical solutions for effectively managing this
process. It particularly focuses on solving the problem of
optimizing the development of Industry 4.0 in the context of
knowledge economy formation. The book presents the authors'
approach to studying the process of Industry 4.0 formation in
connection with knowledge economy, and approach that allows the
process to be studied in connection with the existing
socio-economic and technological conditions. As a result, the
conclusions and recommendations could be applied to modern economic
systems and do not require any further elaboration. The presented
research is based on modern economic theory scientific and
methodological tools, including the tools of the theory of economic
cycles, the theory of games, and the institutional economic theory.
Raising awareness of the problem of Industry 4.0 formation, the
book is of interest to a wide audience, including not only
specialists and experts with a detailed knowledge of the topic, but
also scholars, lecturers, and undergraduates of various fields of
economics.
Industry 4.0 is not only just a new sector of economy-it is a new
technological model of economic development, which will determine
the technical possibilities, organizational philosophies, and
approaches to managing socio-economic systems in the near future.
Signs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution can already be seen in
the most progressive developed and developing countries. However,
despite the high interest of entrepreneurs in the possibilities
that are provided by Industry 4.0, large-scale investment projects
and the adoption of state and national strategies and programs to
facilitate the financing and transition to Industry 4.0, the Fourth
Industrial Revolution is developing very slowly. The reason for
this is the non-systemic character of the implemented initiatives.
This book brings together segmental knowledge and creates new
insights on the sustainability of agricultural systems, critically
analyzing not only individual system components, but also focusing
on interactions between them and external environments. This book
is primarily devoted to (1) agricultural agribusiness, (2) policies
and institutions, and (3) farming systems. The compelling
collection of chapters presents critical, comparative, and balanced
perspectives on what changes are needed to achieve and maintain
sustainability in agricultural systems, actively leading to new
ways of thinking about these complex issues. The research presented
relies on an array of methods developed within complex systems
science, addresses the existing gaps in the scholarship, and uses
original data collected on the development of agricultural systems.
Finally, the authors provide robust conclusions and recommendations
for both scholars and practitioners in the field of studying,
constructing, and maintaining sustainable agricultural systems. The
special focus of the book is on technologies, policies, and
management systems enabling sustainable agricultural development. A
rich collection of practical cases could be used to move from
theories to reality. The book appeals to both academics and
professionals working in the field.
