Research and systematization of key problems of the agri-food sector in accordance with the SIG

For further improvement of strategies and programs for the development of agriculture in the Republic of Kazakhstan, it is necessary to determine ways to adapt to the UN Global concept of sustainable development for the period up to 2030.  The purpose of the study is to identify national priorities in the field of sustainable agricultural development, taking into account the 2030 Sustainable Development Concept (SDGs). The scientific significance of the study is the adaptation of the SDG 2030 goals to the national conditions of Kazakhstan and the development of a mechanism for achieving them in the agri-food sector. The work systematized the relationship of the agrifood sector with 12 SDGs goals, as well as identified 78 urgent tasks for Kazakhstan (46%) within the framework of the Global Sustainable Development Goals. The use of a systematic approach made it possible to identify and clarify the social, economic and environmental indicators necessary for the development of national indicators of sustainable development of the agro-industrial sector of Kazakhstan. The results of the study show the importance of the relationship of the agro-food sector of Kazakhstan with the target tasks and indicators of the SDG 2030. These results can serve as the basis for creating a concept for the sustainable development of the industry. The proposed approach should include not only monitoring and reporting mechanisms, but also a set of incentive measures aimed at developing and implementing sustainable development strategies. These strategies should be aimed at technological transformation of the agri-food sector, increasing its sustainability, efficiency and ability to adapt to external challenges and global shocks.
