Abstract: The further expansion of the world's population, the growing need for food and a safe food supply, and the environmental damage resulting from humanity's planet-shaping activities are also posing new and new requirements for agricultural production. The changes in the conditions of farming, the known characteristics of agricultural production, and the specific relationship of agriculture to natural resources regarding the connections between corporate sustainability and competitiveness also generate questions for which there is currently no answer that meets scientific expectations and is fully professionally substantiated. The reasons for this, with regard to many related questions, are to be found in the shortcomings of the approaches used in the analyses, the lack of cooperation between representatives of individual disciplines, the lack of testing methods or their immaturity, etc. In our study - largely based on our previous studies analyzing certain issues of sustainability and competitiveness - we seek answers to the questions of whether the increased demand for food can be ensured in the long term by simultaneously meeting the requirements of sustainability and competitiveness? What are the common points of sustainability and competitiveness? What is their theoretical background? What are the relationships between the factors determining and affecting corporate sustainability and competitiveness in agricultural companies? How do the relationships and interactions between them develop, and their economic implications? We try to provide answers based on the processed source works and the results of our own model calculations. Based on the above, we judge that generally valid solutions do not exist - due to the specificities of the sector and the spatial economic implications of the sector. The practical implementation of potentially available technological developments that ensure the achievement of the stated goals requires significant resources, and their allocation is also indispensable in relation to certain resources. Taking all this into account, in order to achieve the goals, the agricultural policy system, and within it the intervention areas and measures, must be differentiated. In order to implement transformative changes that simultaneously ensure sustainability and competitiveness, society must also make sacrifices – due to the complexity of the existing relationships and their interaction.
