ASSESSMENT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS IN THE SYSTEM OF AGRICULTURAL LAND USE

Abstract

Introduction. For a long time, the economic development of Ukraine has been accompanied by unbalanced exploitation of land, which leads to the emergence and exacerbation of various ecological problems in the land use system and disruption of the natural-ecological balance. Therefore, in the theory and practice of conducting agricultural activities to ensure the balanced use of land resources, an important role is played by the study of the mutual influence of ecological and economic factors in the process of land use. Methods. Research conducted by use of the dialectical method of knowledge of the economic laws and systematic approach to the study of economic phenomena and processes, monographic, - in the study and theoretical generalization of the results of the conducted research; method of canonical correlation analysis - studying the presence, closeness and direction of connections between sets of ecological and economic indicators; abstract-logical method - in the implementation of theoretical generalizations and formulation of conclusions. Results. The author proposed to use a number of indicators to assess ecological and economic factors and their mutual influence on the state of agricultural land use. An assessment of the interrelationship of these factors was carried out to establish the possibilities of balancing the system of agricultural land use and improving the quality indicators of land resources. Discussion. Optimizing the influence of economic and ecological factors on the efficiency of land use at the national and regional level is important to ensure the functioning of the system of balanced agricultural land use. Therefore, in further research, attention should be focused on the in-depth study of the ecological and economic components of the efficiency of agricultural land use and the dynamics of the mutual influence of different groups of indicators to ensure balanced land use in Ukraine. Keywords: ecological factors, economic factors, efficiency, balanced land use, agricultural land use.
