This paper presents a review of the monograph “Economics and sustainable management of energy resources in agriculture”, prepared by Dr hab. in Economics Anatolii Kucher, and PhD in Economics Oleksandr Synytsia. The monograph was published by the Academic Publishing House “Talent” (Bulgaria). The content and structure of the reviewed monograph, its main theoretical, methodological and applied results on assessing the efficiency of energy resources use in agriculture and sustainable management of these resources are highlighted. The research findings will be useful to scientists, policymakers and practitioners in the field of economics and sustainable management of energy resources, lecturers, postgraduates and students of higher education institutions, as well as other stakeholders who are interested in improving energy independence and increasing the efficiency of energy resources use.
