Abstract
The article provides a scientific and theoretical analysis of the Draft Code of Best Agricultural Practices' content and its significance for the legal support of ecologization of agriculture in Ukraine. We have studied the content of the Draft Code of Best Agricultural Practices and the Draft Code of Proper Agricultural Practice. It was identified the deficiencies in the wording of the scope of these Draft Codes. It is also proposed to extend the Draft Code of Best Agricultural Practices' content to all agricultural producers without imposing any restrictions. It is noted that in the text of the Draft Code of Best Agricultural Practices, it is mandatory to enshrine the provision on voluntary application (based on paragraph 1 of Article 4 of Council Directive 91/676 / EEC on the protection of waters against pollution by nitrates from agricultural sources of 12.12.1991). Also, we have identified the shortcomings of the provisions of the draft Codes regarding land use management regulation, including the use of the crop rotation system. It is concluded that it is inexpedient to duplicate in the Draft Code of Best Agricultural Practices the legislation governing the organization of crop rotations. It is proposed to limit the indication to the relevant regulations. It is concluded that in parallel with the implementation of the Draft Code of Best Agricultural Practices, work should be carried out to implement the cross-compliance approach in Ukraine. This will motivate agricultural producers to comply with the Code of Best Agricultural Practices provisions and contribute to agriculture's ecologization.
