Abstract

The motivation of the research is to find the answer to why the reform of decentralization of government in Ukraine does not contribute to the sustainable development of the countryside and the peasantry.

The article identifies basic features of rural development policy and management using various agrarian system models, in particular, the agricultural holding model, which is currently being implemented in Ukraine, and the village preservation model, which is proposed for implementation in order to preserve and revive rural life in Ukraine. The main achieved results include managerial principles of sustainable rural development in the village preservation model of the agricultural system.
