Problem setting. For Ukrainian agribusiness, which has found itself in extremely difficult circumstances as a result of the war, agrarian innovations are one of the most relevant areas of development, which makes it possible to restore damaged agricultural land and resume the agricultural production cycle. At the same time, the application of agrarian innovations requires both a prepared infrastructure, including logistics and specialists, and a clear understanding of the possibilities of their use, taking into account the specifics of the composition of Ukrainian agricultural land, climate, fauna, etc. Determining the specifics of the development and implementation of innovations within the new agrarian and legal policy requires a separate study at the level of both technical and legal sciences. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The issue of innovations in the agricultural sector is the subject of research by scientists from various fields of scientific knowledge, in particular in the field of agricultural, technical, economic, and legal sciences. Among the representatives of agrarian and legal science, we can distinguish the works of Yermolenko V., Kurman T., Semchyk V. Due to the dynamics of social relations, innovations are developing and require systematic research. Particular attention should be paid to humanitarian innovations in agribusiness, in the form of free provision of the latest developments for the sustainable functioning of the agricultural chain in order to ensure food security and the post-war revival of the agricultural sector of Ukraine’s economy. Thus, the relevance of innovative legal relations in agribusiness as a component of the new agrarian and legal policy of Ukraine is beyond doubt. Purpose of the research is to identify the peculiarities of innovations in agribusiness as a component of the new agrarian and legal policy of Ukraine. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to study the concept and identify the features of agrarian innovations, to outline the innovative directions of the new agrarian legal policy and to develop proposals for improving agrarian legislation in the field of agro-innovations. Article’s main body. Agrarian innovations are aimed not only at satisfying social interests (food security, quality of agricultural products, satisfaction of consumer requirements, availability and sufficiency of agricultural products, improvement of working conditions), but also at economic interests (profit). Digitalization as an innovative tool designed to improve agro-export relations should continue to be a priority of the new agricultural policy. This is undoubtedly one of the means to ensure transparent information relations in the agribusiness sector. We cannot ignore the creation of such a category as humanitarian agricultural innovations. Humanitarian innovations in agribusiness involve the provision of the latest developments for the sustainable functioning of the agricultural chain free of charge in order to ensure food security and the post-war revival of the agricultural sector of Ukraine’s economy. Such innovations can be in the form of manufacturing and providing demining equipment, remote monitoring of crops and field conditions, etc. Agrarian innovations can be part of international export assistance, including logistics. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Summarizing the above, it can be stated that the new agricultural policy is aimed at reviving and restoring the agricultural sector of Ukraine’s economy, which aims to stabilize agricultural production in the post-war period through state and international support for agribusiness, and introducing information support for innovations in agriculture, which in turn are the main element of the development of the agricultural economy. Within the framework of the new agricultural policy, it is advisable to develop agricultural innovations in the following areas: land restoration, improvement of its quality indicators, introduction of modern resource-saving methods of soil cultivation, search and creation of new (including temporary) facilities for storage, processing and transportation (for example, an oil pipeline). This requires sustainable legal support, in particular through the adoption of a separate regulatory act in the form of a separate State Strategy for Scientific Support of Agricultural Innovations and their Implementation in Agribusiness.
