Sustainable agriculture is the basis for long-term economic growth ensuring employment for the rural population. The aim of this research is to assess the dynamics in agricultural output, investments, direct payments and energy use in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) during 2008-2017.

This study develops an integrated framework for assessment of cropping sustainability at the aggregate (country) level. Such sustainability criteria as total water footprint, Shannon equitability index, total output, and downside coefficient of yield variation are used to rank the crop mixes, corresponding to different assumptions.

Renewable energy is expected to play a significant role in power generation. The European Union, the USA, China, and others, are striving to limit the use of energy crop for energy production and to increase the use of crop residue both on the field and for energy generation processes. Therefore, crop residue may become a major energy source, with Ukraine following this course. Currently in Ukraine, renewable power generation does not exceed 10% of total electricity production.

This study aims at evaluating the developments in the distribution of the retail prices of dairy products among supply chain participants in Lithuania over the period of 2008 to 2017 and at revealing the main factors that determine this distribution. In order to achieve this aim, the structure of the Lithuanian dairy supply chain has been examined and the shares of milk producers, dairy processors, retailers and state (VAT) in the retail prices of dairy products (drinking milk and Tilsit cheese) have been calculated.

We demonstrate that the dynamics of tax competitiveness in the EU has gained a new higher level. The shift in the tax competition can be noted after new countries have joined the EU. Both positive and negative effects of tax competitiveness are discussed in the paper and the question of trade-off between the strong tax competitiveness of a country and magnitude of its tax revenue is raised.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are accounted for as a major part of the economy of the EU in terms of part of the population employed, turnover, value-added, etc. Causes of insolvency of SMEs can be different; they are categorized in the paper.

In the complex of complex socio-economic problems of Ukraine in conditions of market transformations, the important role belongs to the preservation and increase of human capital, which is the basis of productive employment. The latter, in the process of attracting to useful and productive labor, creates the resources necessary for the development of society and provides employees with the income used for the formation and development of human capital.

The implementation of bioeconomy is important in seeking to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Thus, in recent years, more attention is focused on sustainable bioeconomy. Referring to weak and strong sustainability approaches, many authors stated that bioeconomy is related only to weak sustainability, but this study provides a framework for policy makers that allows the definition and implementation of the bioeconomy based on the strong sustainability approach.

The main purpose of this paper is to provide a detailed overview of the theoretical insights and recent de­velopment trends on risk in agriculture. It focuses on the synthesis and analysis of the research studies published over the period from 2008 through 2018 and aims to identify major findings obtained over the recent decade and determine the areas for future research.
