The strategy of enhancement of the controling mechanism in the field of use and protection of lands of agricultural purpose of state-owned property and the order them

General part

For today there is urgent need for determination of the effective controling mechanism in the field of use and protection of lands of agricultural purpose of state-owned property, prevention of abuses, non-admission of social tension in this sphere.

Ukraine has considerable land and resource potential. As of January 1, 2017 the land fund of Ukraine constitutes 60,3 of one million hectares, or about 6 percent of the territory of Europe.

Agricultural holdings constitute about 19 percent all-European, including ploughland - about 27 percent. The indicator of the area of agricultural holdings per capita is the highest among the European countries and constitutes hectare 0,9, including ploughland hectare 0,7 (average value of the European countries - hectare 0,44 and 0,25 respectively).

In general the area of farmlands constitutes 42,7 of one million hectares, or 70 percent of the area of all territory of the country, and arable land - 32,5 of one million hectares, or 78,4 of percent of all agricultural holdings.

Structure of agricultural holdings

The area of chernozems in Ukraine constitutes from 15,6 one million to 17,4 of one million hectares, or about 8 percent of world reserves.

At the same time in structure of land resources of the country and land use considerable disproportions which deepening can pose threat to the environment and the vital circle, and also efficiency of economic activity, to sustainable development of national economy in general are observed.

In Ukraine over 92 percent of the territory are attracted to economic use. Level of raspakhannost of the territory is very high and constitutes more than 54 percent (in developed countries of Europe - does not exceed 35 percent). The actual amount of forests of the territory of Ukraine makes only 16 percent that it is not enough for ensuring ecological equilibrium (average value of the European countries - 25-30 percent).

Excessive plowing of lands (more than 54 percent of land fund of Ukraine), including on slopes, led to violation of ecologically balanced ratio of agricultural holdings, the woods and reservoirs that negatively affected stability of agrolandscapes and caused considerable technogenic load of the ecological sphere.

Plowing of agricultural holdings in regions of Ukraine

In Ukraine there is more 1,1 of one million hectares degraded unproductive and tekhnogenno the contaminated land which are subject to preservation, 143,4 of one thousand hectares of the broken lands requiring recultivation, and 315,6 of one thousand hectares of the unproductive grounds needing improvement.

The most essential factor of decline in production of lands and growth of degradation of agrolandscapes is water erosion of soils.

Total area of the agricultural holdings submitted harmful influence of water erosion constitutes 13,3 of one million hectares (32 percent), including 10,6 of one million hectares of arable lands. As a part of bald-headed lands there is 4,5 of one million hectares with average and silnosmyty soils, including 68 thousand hectares completely lost humus horizon.

Intensively processes of linear washout and ravines develop. The area of ravines constitutes 140,4 of one thousand hectares, and their quantity exceeds 500 t. Intensity of erosion in separate ravine and beam systems exceeds average values at 10-20 times.
