Abstract. The purpose of this article is to familiarize the scientific community, politicians and practitioners with the main results of the research on identifying opportunities of using the experience of European Union member states in the organization and implementation of support for rural areas in the current domestic environmental conditions, taking into account their significant fluctuations. In the course of the work, various overview and analytical research methods were used. Also, the EU legislation, on the basis of which state policy in the field of rural development is currently being implemented, was carefully studied. To formulate recommendations, the most significant results of domestic and foreign scientific research published in recent years were summarized. As a result, as the main elements (directions, mechanisms, tools) of the European policy of support for rural development, worthy of attention for the development of a similar domestic policy, the article presents such of them as a general (comprehensive) approach to organizing support for rural areas and the agricultural sector of the economy, to defining its goals, priorities, implementation measures; experience in using local initiative groups to implement national and European plans to address issues of social, environmental, climatic development agenda in a situation of today's challenges and threats, as well as the practice of implementing measures of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on rural development, relying on farms and agricultural cooperatives; options for applying social and technological innovations for “revitalizing” underdeveloped rural areas;for integrated (rural and urban) development of rural areas adjacent to urban centers. The scientific and practical significance of the proposed recommendations lies in their meaningfulness and timeliness.
