The present study is based on the thesis statement that it is possible and necessary to develop successful business which takes care of preserving the environment in Bulgaria. With reference to this the objective of the present research is to study the problems of sustainable development in the country and in particular the prospects of doing sustainable business in the rural regions of Bulgaria. Three sub goals further expand the main objective of the study, namely: to analyze the problems of sustainable use of natural resources; to outline the main trends in the preservation of the environment and biodiversity; and to specify the models and forms of sustainable business development in the country. The specific tasks that the study completes are related to revealing the economic and social advantages of sustainable development, identifying the problems of sustainable use of natural resources in Bulgaria and coordinating the mutual efforts of business agents in the rural regions for achieving sustainable development. The results of the research are as follows: outlining approaches to sustainable use of natural resources within their capacity as a prerequisite of any long-term development by coordinating the political, economic and social systems; suggesting models for sustainable resource use on the basis of organic farming; highlighting the advantages of sustainable agriculture as an opportunity for reducing unemployment, migration processes and local economy development in the endangered regions of Bulgaria.

The main objective of the study is to reveal the potential for change and reorientation of the production model in Bulgaria toward a more sustainable economy generating new green jobs and territorial development, which is to integrate the environmental, economic and social stability. The main tasks are: to systematically analyze the approaches and concepts for the development of a green economy and green jobs in the EU and U.S.; to define the term „green jobs”; to examine the prerequisites and barriers to green job creation in Bulgaria, and to study the potential for creation of green jobs in the private and public sectors. The main thesis in the study is that the concept of green economy is applicable in the private and public sectors in Bulgaria. Its implementation will catalyze the process of increasing the competitiveness of the areas that generate green jobs, reduce inter-regional disparities and accelerate the integration of the Bulgarian economy in the European structures. The study emphasizes the main results, namely: the best practices for implementation of green initiatives for sustainable local development and creation of green jobs are outlined, an attempt to quantify the attitudes about the creation of green jobs in the public and private sectors in Bulgaria is made, recommendations for improving the network interaction of stakeholders in the green economy issues are formulated.

  AGRICULTURAL SIMULATION MODELS IN TEACHING STUDENTS OF ECONOMICS

  The issue of the use of agricultural simulation models in teaching economics students is topical in terms of the need to reflect the current trends in the development of education and training. The different models of the economic policy implemented are discussed in the context of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union. This paper ... The issue of the use of agricultural simulation models in teaching economics students is topical in terms of the need to reflect the current trends in the development of education and training. The different models of the economic policy implemented are discussed in the context of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union. This paper aims to study and reveal the potential opportunities for economic simulations that can be implemented in teaching economics students. In order to achieve this aim the following tasks have to be performed: studying the theory to clarify the specifics and the concepts used in the simulation economic models; assessing the state of agriculture and the possibilities for implementing potential economic policy simulation models; studying the potential for using the simulation models in teaching economics students; identifying the problems (factors) that affect the sphere of simulations; an European policy regarding the economic models for implementing the Common Agricultural Policy in agriculture; making conclusions and suggestions for agricultural simulation models in teaching students of economics.
