The Challenge of Sustainability in Agricultural Systems

Abstract

In order to ensure the normal functioning of any branch of the economy in the country, it must be provided with an innovative infrastructure. Innovative infrastructure is a set of development institutions providing participants access to various resources, creating favorable conditions, and establishing various services, allowing to reduce the total costs of obtaining the result of scientific and technical activities and its commercialization. The research objective is to consider the issues of innovative development of the agro-industrial complex based on the creation of new institutional forms that ensure the formation of a balanced and sustainable R&D sector in agriculture of the Eurasian Economic Union (e.g., the Eurasian Agricultural Technological Platform [EATP]). The authors proposed the classification of development institutions, presented the organizational structure of the EATP, and justified the creation of the department of technology transfer. The paper substantiated the expediency of registration of the EATP in the form of a legal entity and proposes the design of a domestic regulatory legal instrument to create consortia to perform research and development work and commercialize research results. The authors considered the technology transfer as an essential function of non-financial institutions of development. The author’s definition of “technology transfer” was given. Additionally, the authors studied the R&D project aimed at the EATP for further expert examination and implementation.
