The article emphasizes the importance of organic production development in the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy and substantiates that one of the important priorities of agribusiness is organic production, which is mainly export-oriented, and therefore is the fundamental basis for the sustainability of the foreign economic activity of its farmers. An increase in organic production, in particular cattle products, is accompanied by additional methane emissions (but lower than those from nonorganic production), while Ukraine, having joined the Global Methane Pledge initiative to reduce methane emissions, has committed to taking measures to reduce its methane footprint and consequently the decision to invest and/or provide government support for development programs should be based on historical analysis using a decoupling approach. The trends of changes in the average annual livestock population, the livestock production volume and dynamics of methane emissions have been studied for the period of 1990-2019. A decoupling analysis has been carried out of the gap between trends of the economic growth rates of the livestock industry and the rates of anthropogenic pressure on the environment. The study demonstrated that the decoupling effect in cattle breeding has changed abruptly from strongly negative to weak decoupling. The dynamics of the export volume of dairy and meat products were analysed for the agribusiness of Ukraine during 2004-2021 and a forecast of changes in production volumes, as well as a forecast for the export volume of milk and beef were made for the period up to 2030.

The article is devoted to the organization of scientific communication in the information society. Its task lies in the review and analysis of the scientific base concerning the review of the transformation of an access to information in the Internet, which is related to the open access initiative. The “information society” notion representation in the world science is covered. Philosophical views on the nature of information, conceptual approaches to the formation of information processes, resources for the development of the information community are given. Domestic and foreign experience in building open access (OA) and open information archives, as well as their development in the scientific and educational community are described. The development of the movement for open access is considered. A review of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of the formation of open access to electronic resources in the available literature and the original basis is conducted. The publications of scientific articles in professional journals that support the open access policy are presented. Various defi nitions of the concepts “collection of electronic documents”, “collection of information resources” have been studied and a new definition has been proposed - “electronic library”. Attention is drawn to the cycle of publications, where the object of the research was information resources that form the collection of electronic documents and the system of metadata for the reference search apparatus. The importance of creating open electronic archives (repositories) as a growing, dynamic and useful part of the scientific community is determined. The trends in the development of electronic resources are described, and the world experience in the creation, development and operation of open electronic resources is presented. The analysis of the scientific base for the consideration of the transformation of access to information in the Internet, which is associated with the open access initiative (OA), has been carried out.

The article draws attention to and justifies the need for the further development of the information society to strengthen the initiative of open access to scientific publications and research. An increase in the number of institutional repositories has been demonstrated, which is one of the main areas for presenting scientific papers in the global information space. The scientific novelty of the institution of higher education in the process of increasing the representation of university science in the global space of scientific communications is noted. The main criteria for Webometrics and the impact of the institutional repository on the position of a higher education institution are highlighted. The analysis of the development of repositories in the world and domestic market according to the Open DOAR registry was made. Attention is focused on the introduction of academic integrity in Ukraine to help improve the quality of educational and scientific activities.

The article deals with the use of open electronic resources in the organizational and informational process of a higher educational institution. The influence of information resources of academic libraries on the quality of educational activity is analyzed. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the further development of open electronic resources of higher education institutions libraries, which is closely interrelated with the quality of educational activities. To teach the education provider to work rationally with information, to form his/her information culture are the main tasks for the present time. Independent education of applicants is an integral part of the educational process at the university. It is the libraries that must respond promptly to all changes in the curriculum and be one of the key elements in ensuring the formation of a scientific outlook for educational instructors. Creating own electronic information resources, namely electronic libraries, full-text databases, electronic archives and open access to them is an important part of maintaining the proper level of higher education in Ukraine.

The paper substantiates the relevance of the use of electronic resources in order to increase the results of scientific developments and corresponding publication activity of scientists. The importance of access to electronic databases and the proper conditions for their effective use is underlined. An analysis of using bibliometric methods for improving a scientist’s brand and rating of a higher educational institution is made.

Ukraine’s further economic growth should be directed by Government Sustainable Development Strategy for harmonization of economy, environmental and social protection. One of the important modern problems is pollution by waste. The feasibility of introducing an eco-project for the municipal solid waste recycling is substantiated at the present research. The complex mathematical model of profit forecast is developed, which shows the tariffs influence on profitability of eco-project on construction of the plant for municipal solid waste recycling in Poltava region of Ukraine. The authors determine and analyse the dependences of the expected eco-project revenue from the change in tariffs for waste management services for each of the consumer categories. Two scenarios of economic development (inertial and innovative) are compared and resulted that the both scenarios have environmental and economic effect, so they are investment attractive. Emphasis is placed on the shortcomings and gaps of the existing tariff policy. The paper demonstrates lack of incentives for the development of business recycling under the existing tariff policy, so to establish a single tariff is proposed uniting the services cost for the removal, sorting, processing and disposal of the waste and also without dividing by consumer categories.
