ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ЗЕМЕЛЬНИХ РЕСУРСІВ У СІЛЬСЬКОМУ ГОСПОДАРСТВІ: ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ ЗАСАДИ

Abstract

Land is the most important economic resource. Its strategic nature is primarily related to its versatility, its potential, and its territorial and spatial part of the environment. Land resources are necessary for many economic activities. They play a key role in agriculture and forestry, serving both as a territorial resource and as the main means of production. However, today this important resource of the domestic agricultural potential is underused for a number of reasons. One of the reasons is Russian aggression, during which Ukrainian lands have become a battlefield for life, sovereignty, territory and yields. At a time when the Russian army is burning fields and destroying grain stocks in warehouses, issues of improving land use efficiency and renewal of fertility take on particular importance in the long term. Evaluating and accounting for the efficiency of land use as the main means of production is one of the most urgent tasks. Its solution will make it possible to identify progressive trends and ways to improve land use. The concept of efficient land use is complex and multifaceted. It does not lend itself to an unambiguous definition. The essence of the effective land use in the agricultural production is connected first of all with the economic effect and economic indicators. The article analyses various methodological approaches to the research of land use efficiency, which form the wide subject field for the further studying of these problems. Sown areas of agricultural lands, crop yield and gross yield of crops, production per person have been analyzed on the basis of statistical data. The state of land plots, sown areas and projected yields have been studied, taking into account military operations on the territory of Ukraine. The main innovations that were introduced in land relations during martial law are summarized. It has been established that an efficient use of the land resources is possible with realization of the complex of measures, directed at preservation and increase of the soil fertility, crops yield, forming of favorable conditions for growth and development of agricultural crops, labor and human life.
