Abstract

The article discusses the issues related to the specifics of the protection and ecological condition of land resources and the determination of the most acceptable areas of land use protection in Ukraine. The purpose of the work is to study the issue of protection and ecological condition of land resources with the aim of more efficient and rational use and protection of land in Ukraine. The methodological tools of the research were: the method of analysis and synthesis; abstract logical method; method of analogy and generalization. The works of scientists related to the definition of the concept of land protection are analyzed. It was found that achieving positive results in the system of protection and ecological condition of land resources should be based on measures to ensure effective legal regulation of land protection in market conditions. Advantages of rational use, preservation of fertility and ecological state of land resources are highlighted. Land protection is a system of legal, organizational, economic and other measures aimed at the rational use of land, prevention of unjustified extraction of agricultural and forestry land, protection from harmful anthropogenic influence, reproduction and increase of soil fertility, increase of productivity of forestry land, provision of a special regime use of land for nature protection, health, recreational and historical and cultural purposes. Despite the technical and technological achievements of human society, at the beginning of the third millennium, the signs of energy, raw material, water, food, land and even air shortages are becoming increasingly apparent. The problems of ecological cleanliness of the natural environment, preservation of its reproductive, restorative and assimilative potentials are becoming particularly acute, as the volume of pollution, the extent of depletion and degradation of individual environmental resources are growing catastrophically. The population of our planet increases annually by 70–80 million people and is constantly armed with more and more powerful equipment and energy-dangerous technologies, exerting excessively large anthropogenic pressure on nature. Such actions lead to the deterioration of the environment by all indicators, which ultimately negatively affects human health and the quality of agricultural products.
