It is noted that the restoration and development of Ukraine is possible on the basis of the effective development of agricultural entrepreneurship, which can be achieved through the use of a set of interrelated measures of a financial, economic, industrial, technical, organizational and social nature, aimed at the withdrawal of such anti-crisis and restoration organizations or their achievement profitability and competitiveness. The state policy for the development of agricultural enterprises should provide for the creation of a favorable investment climate for domestic and foreign investment. The authors note that in modern conditions of development of the national macroeconomic environment, the solution of this problem involves not only the development and formulation of market strategies, but primarily the solution to the problem of creating and implementing an effective mechanism for implementing intra-industry strategic decisions. At the same time, it should be taken into account that many issues of the formation and implementation of the state policy for regulating the development of agricultural enterprises in the face of institutional uncertainty and financial instability have not yet received adequate coverage. The authors concluded that direct government subsidies for agribusiness in Ukraine are harmful. They are distributed opaque, distort competition, produce corruption and nervousness. As a result, the interest of diligent agricultural producers is declining. Corruption and opacity lead to an unreasonable increase in prices for agricultural products. Based on the analysis, it is shown that the best way of state support for agricultural production is investment in rural areas -an increase in investment costs for roads or education in rural areas. It should also be taken into account that one of the tasks of state policy is to increase employment in rural areas, therefore it is necessary to support not only individual producers, but also "non-agricultural" employment, for example, "green tourism". Also, government support should be distributed "automatically", and not selectively. For this, it is important to develop and implement appropriate criteria. The economic security of economic entities in the agricultural sector should be the subject of an economic strategy in the food industry. The reduction or exclusion of business entities from participation in many areas of intra-industry life creates enormous economic risks (threats) for the near and long-term prospects of the food industry. Therefore, in order to ensure socio-economic development in the food industry, it is necessary to develop and introduce intra-industry socio-economic policies that will ensure the growth of key indicators in the national macroeconomic environment.

Lifehaking as a set of measures aimed at making life easier, and those that allow rethinking complex everyday laws to obtain the desired result, can be integrated into the self-management of a public servant. The emergence of lifehacking is due to scientific and technical progress, the development of information technologies, and the growth of intellectual activity. The very terms «life hack», «life hacking» were introduced into scientific circulation by the British journalist Danny O'Brien, then they spread among the community of bloggers from different parts of the world, primarily among young people, in particular the millennial generation, which is characterized by new forms of information behavior -transmedia, multi-channel and streaming. Millennials are multitaskers, «watchers,» voyeurs, interactive, gamers, and projecters. Different ideas about the main characteristics of millennials contribute to the emergence of different theories, including the theories of Neil Howe and William Strauss. Life hacks have spread thanks to the Internet, where they are presented as texts, infographics, images or videos. Among their main characteristics, in particular, such as saving resources, original vision of the problem, simplification of various spheres of life, ease of application and benefit to others. Self-management, like life hacking, can also be used as a relevant and promising direction in public management and administration, which can help increase the effectiveness of a public servant's activities in view of achieving his personal and professional goals.
