Agricultural Innovations for Sustainable Development: Analysis of Situation in Kazakhstan and Ways for Improvement

This paper aims to analyze the current situation of agriculture in Kazakhstan focusing on innovations, identify key problems and challenges, and propose ways for improvement. The researchers reviewed the relevant literature and collected relevant data from secondary sources. The study's methodological basis included Kazakhstan's legislative and regulatory Acts, program for the development of agriculture, and data about innovations in the agriculture sphere. Reports and statistical reviews were examined in order to determine the tendency of development of agriculture in Kazakhstan. Evaluation of the current level of technological development in crop production and animal husbandry shows that agricultural innovations in Kazakhstan are not developed enough. Government and public authorities are well aware of the need for innovative agricultural development, and take the necessary programs and measures. Despite this, researchers have identified problems in this sphere and proposed their solutions. The transition to sustainable economic growth in the agricultural sector of the country is impossible without promoting the use of science and technology, the introduction of high technology, activation of all economic entities of scientific and technical sphere of agriculture. The main priority of science, technology and innovation policy in the agricultural sector should be state support for basic and applied science with a focus on the implementation of scientific development in agriculture.
