As the world population surpassed eight billion in 2022, resource depletion, environmental degradation, and socio-economic challenges have intensified. Migration and immigration, while offering economic opportunities, also strain receiving countries? natural resources, infrastructures, and social fabrics. The paper introduces the Ecological Human Imprint Migration and Consequence Process (EHIMCP) model, which assesses migration?s effects on ecological sustainability, economic stability, and societal balance. Key findings suggest that population growth exacerbates poverty, environmental degradation, and political tensions, necessitating sustainable policies and strategic resource management. The study underscores the urgency of balancing human population dynamics with environmental capacity to ensure long-term global stability.

While edible insects are part of the culinary tradition in many Eastern countries, their consumption remains limited in Western cultures. Despite the well-known environmental and sustainability benefits of such foods, various studies have demonstrated that strong cultural barriers hinder their adoption.By testing 200 participants through explicit questionnaires and the IAT, this research highlights the differences and convergences between these two methodologies in understanding consumer perceptions of edible insects. The results reveal a convergence between explicit and implicit attitudes, emphasizing the strength of implicit biases. The IAT proves to be a fundamental tool in accessing the unconscious dimensions of perception, providing valuable insights for marketing strategies aimed at promoting sustainable food choices.

The research employed the following methods: SWOT analysis, econometric, correlation, and regression analysis. The analysis of investment in agricultural technologies showed a significant increase in interest in innovations, in particular in response to global challenges, such as climate change. In particular, the use of IoT in agriculture has contributed to an increase in the yield of major crops such as wheat, corn, and soybeans. The study found that the use of financial instruments, such as grants, technical assistance, loan guarantees and equity investments, effectively reduces financial risks. A promising direction for further research is to study in more detail the effectiveness of the use of mixed financial instruments for the sustainable development of the agricultural sector.

The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness and impact of environmental protection expenditure (EPE) as an important tool of environmental management on the sustainable development of territorial communities. The study employs regression analysis, correlation analysis, and comparison methods. The study identified the most effective areas of EPE by territorial communities. These include: other activities in the field of ecology and protection of natural resources, environmental protection measures at the expense of special-purpose funds, protection and rational use of natural resources. The effectiveness of such areas was determined through a regression analysis of the impact of EPE on the environmental indicators of the relevant regions. The volume of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere is most affected by expenditures on other activities in the field of ecology and protection of natural resources with a regression coefficient of -0.542787. Environmental protection measures at the expense of special funds have a significant impact on total waste generation (-0.782511) and on the volume of polluted wastewater (-0.443516). Regression analysis did not reveal a statistically significant impact of any of the variables on the I-III hazard class waste generation and the number of cases of malignant neoplasms. The environmental policy of territorial communities should focus on the identified effective areas of expenditure and revise expenditures that do not contribute to improving environmental indicators. It should be noted that the volume of expenditures is not the most important factor in efficiency ? the quality of planning and management is of key importance. The findings may be useful for territorial communities to improve the environmental management system in terms of managing the effectiveness of expenditures on environmental protection.

The study addressed the problem of the shadow economy, which poses a serious threat to the economies of both developed and developing countries. The shadow economy includes illegal and informal activities, such as tax evasion, illegal employment and corruption, which result in significant losses for public finances. In countries with high levels of shadow economy, budgets face deficits, forcing governments to raise taxes or borrow money, slowing economic growth. The study also addressed the impact of cryptocurrencies on the shadow economy. The anonymity of cryptocurrency transactions hinders tax liability tracking, thus creating additional challenges for tax authorities. The study employed data on the countries with the largest number of cryptocurrency holders and analysed their impact on financial stability. Informal social networks and communities are substantial in shaping tax behaviour. In countries with a high level of social cohesion, taxpayers tend to follow official rules, while in countries with low trust in government institutions, informal networks can facilitate tax evasion. The study cited examples of successful tax legislation strategies from various countries, such as Estonia, Germany and Australia, and provided recommendations for optimising tax policy in Azerbaijan. These recommendations include increasing transparency, simplifying tax administration, fighting corruption, reducing the tax burden and encouraging legal economic activity. The successful implementation of the proposed measures could significantly reduce the shadow economy and increase tax revenues to the Azerbaijani budget.
