Results - the problems and prospects of environmental safety in the republic, the advantages of a resource-saving model of sustainable growth, a program for the development of a "green" economy in the countryare shown. A significant degree of lagging in the use of innovative technologies for an early transition to eco-innovation has been revealed. The measures necessary for their inclusion in the national environmental policy as a key factor are proposed.

The practical results of the expediency of large-scale application of the principles of biodiversity conservation and alternative energy sources to increase the efficiency of agro-industrial production, completeness of meeting the needs of the population of remote regions for high-quality food products, and improving the environment are generalized. Conclusions - at present, indicators of environmental sustainability all over the world are decreasing. For maintaining sustainable natural potential and biological resourcesit is needed to use targeted strategy and investment decisions at all levels, from local to global, and effective- innovative financing mechanisms are required to stimulate the required scale of investment.
