institutional support of the agricultural lands security system

 

In today's world, preservation and reproduction of soil fertility remains for many developed countries a priority direction for land protection and the main task for performed Agricultural Policy. This is caused by number of fertile land has been steadily declining, and the need for food increases. Therefore, the use of land in many countries becomes universal and strictly regulated by special laws nature. Freedom of the subjects economical activity of land use has been confined by limits of established regulations and strictly controlled by the state .

In our country, the issue over land protection has become particularly acute with the beginning of land reform, which was aimed primarily at changing ownership and redistribution of land. Issues of protection of agricultural lands were not given proper attention, not taken into account the environmental consequences of land reforms, which led to falling the agricultural land use efficiency, degradation and outflow of economic exchange. Today in Ukraine to ensure the rational use and protection of land resources in agriculture is based on state coercion, since the main tool for ensuring implementation of legal norms is the institution of legal liability. Nevertheless a comprehensive security of the agricultural lands protection is difficult to realize only through coercive measures. To achieve the objectives of agricultural lands protection it is necessary to not only provide performance of duty over the land protection: there is a need to active involvement of public authorities in solving the agriculture challenges. Legislative consolidation of functions, powers and responsibilities of the subjects of land relations is performed according to the conservation of land. On the one hand, government at all levels, on the other – land users. Moreover, the functions of the state are aimed at creating an effective mechanism for the legal and economic regulation and effective oversight of the use and land protection. These include the responsibilities of government to set regulations of optimal use, accounting and verification of ecological condition of land, to provide land users with environmental and legal regulations, on conducting of land management of agricultural land tenures in compliance with the land rights of land users. Functions of land users are aimed at adherence to use and compulsory realization of land-conservation measures for the implementation of self-control.

To ensure an effective system of land protection it is necessary to strengthen a government regulation of environmental activities at all levels. First of all, it is necessary to clarify and streamline management functions in land relations regarding the use and protection of land at the national, regional and local levels. To create an efficient health grounds, it is suggested to transfer issues of management use and protection of agricultural land to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, by empowering it with organization of the land protection system formation and carrying out of corresponding works on Land Management design; ensure coordination with other agencies involved in this process; organization of works with the inventory of land and total land certification of agricultural land; control over the formation of an information base on the qualitative state of land resources of agriculture; monitoring compliance regimes of agricultural land use and implementation of land-conservation measures in accordance with the established during the order of Land Management. To implement these powers it it suggested to form a special service for land management and land protection as a part of the Agriculture Ministry. Options to control the conduct of the complexity of Land Management in content types and sequence of land management projects using an eco-landscape approach in the direction from general to specific it is necessary to include in the land use authority service: national land management schemes – regional – local level – internal business land management project – working project to implement certain measures.

The implementation of suggested measures is to strengthen the control over the use of land and a violation on the protection and ensure the creation of procedural mechanism for detecting infringements and establishing targeted claims for the disorders.
