Abstract: The article presents the theoretical basis for the study of social risks in agriculture, integrating the approaches of new institutionalism and risk management (in terms of regulation) with the perspectives of the theory of social risk construction and sustainable development (in terms of impact analysis), which allowed to define social risks in agriculture, reveal their features and types, and systematize approaches to analysis of social risks in agriculture. The article highlights the role and importance of various methods and tools used by the state in reducing and minimizing social risks in agriculture, and also presents a diagram of the process of managing social risks in agriculture from the perspective of state regulation. A methodology for an integrated approach to the analysis of social risks in agriculture has been developed, including an algorithm and tools for assessing both the risks themselves and the effectiveness of government management methods. In order to obtain reliable research results on social risks in agriculture, it is necessary to clearly identify the specific type of risk and its manifestations in this industry. The proposed methodological toolkit, based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, allows for a comprehensive analysis. However, only taking into account the specifics of the impact of the chosen social risk on agriculture and the life of the rural population, the data obtained can be adequately interpreted. The results of the study can be used to develop effective strategies and mechanisms for managing social risks in agriculture, contributing to improving the social sustainability of rural areas, as well as in further research.
