The article analyzes the development of organic production in Ukraine. It has been established that organic production in our country has recently expanded considerably due to the need to provide natural food products to the population, as well as the reproduction of natural fertility of soils and biodiversity of the environment with the implementation of a careful attitude towards nature, producer and consumer. The results of the Kyiv population survey, the attitude of people to organic products and goods, their impact on human health and on the state of the environment, as well as the formation of the value of such products, have been analyzed. The factors influencing the formation of value and the development of the market of organic products in Ukraine are substantiated, in particular, the main ones are considerable expenses in production and processing, as well as the passage of the corresponding certification. Adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Basic Principles and Requirements for Organic Production, Circulation and Marking of Organic Products" is important for harmonization of national legislation with European regulation in the field of organic production and circulation of products. It establishes the general principles of legal regulation in the field of organic production, circulation and labeling of organic products, which should give an additional impetus to the sustainable development of organic production in Ukraine.

The article presents a comparative analysis of the optimal environmental parameters and the current structure of lands in the Zvenigorod district of Cherkasy region. The purpose of the study is to assess the current state of land use in the Zvenigorod district of Cherkasy region and to identify problems and justify ways of solving it. An analysis of the current state of land use in the district indicates a high level of technological load on land resources, which results in low ecological stability of land use in general. An assessment of ecological stability of the territorial structure land of the district and sustainability of lands to anthropogenic load is provided. Only 10% of the area of the districts land can be attributed to medium-stable territories relatively low level of anthropogenic loading and least landslide of agricultural lands - the Territories of the Morin, Popivska and Khlipnivska village councils. In the result of carrying out researches?ey directions in the optimization of territorial land use in the Zvenigorod district are grounded: improvement of the structure of crops and crop rotation by increasing the proportion of perennial grasses, leguminous crops; reduction of the area of arable lands due to their withdrawal from arable land and transfer to hayfields and pasture lands (increasing the area of ecologically stabilizing lands); preservation of degraded, unproductive and technogenically polluted land and to rehabilitate affected lands.

The possibilities of using the remote sensing data for bee forage mapping in the forest have been shown in the research. Finding the areas of nectar and pollen plants could help effective development of beekeeping. In the article was shown the analysis of different periods of remote sensing data acquisition for the most suitable mapping bee forage trees. The NDVI was calculated during the growing season from late April to the beginning of October. That index were fluctuating during the period of the research. The peak of the development of green mass period was defined for NDVI as the most suitable for the study and selection of different types of trees. As a result of the research, it was established that the determining location of bee forage trees based on remote sensing data provides the best result in combination of several NDVI images.

As a result of the research, it was found that the lack of formed and established boundaries in newly formed territorial communities significantly affects the implementation of land management within their territory, the reliability of land registration and statistical reporting, the flow of funds to local budgets, the efficiency and rationality of the use of natural resources, which complicates the activities of local self-government bodies. It was clarified that the implementation of projects for the formation and establishment of boundaries of village and settlement councils was not carried out, that is, the formation of their boundaries took place only on paper without verification on the ground, and as a result, inaccurate areas and limits were obtained. These measures may be introduced in case of implementation of the proposed changes to the Land Code of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine "On Land Management". The expected results are presented in the event of implementation of these measures.

It is revealed that the general index of quality of state administration of land use in Ukraine is 15.5 points, which holds 76th place out of 186 states. It is revealed that its quality is determined by the coherence of the components of the administrative process: legal, regulatory, fiscal and information management. The essence of ecological and economic tools of land administration, which prompts landowners and land users to rational land use with financial, credit, fiscal, price, subsidy, control and other tools, is described in detail. It is determined that land protection activities should be financed from the state budget, from the profit of economic entities, from environmental, economic and insurance funds, provision of bank loans. In order to increase the responsibility of landowners and land users for compliance with ecological requirements in economic activity, introduction of land management regulations and economic sanctions is proposed. Areas of improvement of administration of land use taking into account the requirements of ecological safety are given.

The dynamics of the development of modern land management in the process of land reforming and the full implementation of land reform of the transformative processes as to restructuring of the land fund of Ukraine, as well as the creation of new land arrangements, which would provide for their development guided by the market principles were reasoned. As the result of the implementation of various activity types for land management in the field of land-reclamation management of the agricultural enterprises’ territory and establishment of an innovative form of ownership, other than a state, private, communal, thus launching a market-oriented land management was indeed necessary to significantly modify the true nature of the modern land management, in particular, to forego the sectoral one and to introduce the sharing principle for territorial reallocation of land: at the national, regional and local levels with further assignment the corresponding documentation on land management to each level. The mentioned land sharing was legally formalized in the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On Land Management”. The implementation of other activities regarding the denationalization of lands, transformation of the existing structures of land management, establishment of farms, demarcation of land shares, implementation provided the formalization of leasing relationship and other types of procedural and institutional as well as normative-technical nature were implemented based on the schemes and layouts for land management and other documentation, having formed the basis for the implementation of the state land politics. Thus, the modern land management deems to be one of the fundamental tools needed for the implementation of the state regulatory policies as to the use and protection of lands, and, above all, agricultural ones. The role of modern land management in providing the ecologically safe and economically efficient use of land, particularly in the conditions of the development of degradation processes, and to a certain extent regulating social relations with respect to land ownership, use and disposal is considered. Its economic, environmental and social effectiveness is substantiated on a specific example.

The issue of forming an effective land use system for aviation transport, which aims at obtaining a certain volume of material goods with minimum capital and energy costs, as well as achieving maximum productivity of natural resources use and environmental protection of the natural environment, was considered. Operation of the aviation industry is an extraordinary economic contribution to the level of productivity of other industries, which is a powerful fixative for their growth. Such influence, in turn, contributes to the increase of the productivity level of the world economy. It was substantiated that the economic evaluation of efficiency is a very important concept, which aims to determine the most optimal for the airline labor costs and capital, profit, compensation, use of labor, material and, above all, land resources as an indisputable territorial basis. One of the first issues that reveals the level of economic efficiency of land use of aviation is revenue (profit) as a result. The main economic indicators of the efficiency of land use of aviation transport port, calculated with the obligatory consideration of the area of the land plot and the specific period of time during which the given land was exploited: the potential of land use; land use intensity, land use efficiency and insurance risk assessment. The main ways to increase the level of economic performance of land use of aviation transport are to improve the structure of investments and the planning of infrastructure development in areas where the expansion of industrial and commercial facilities is possible. This investment strategy also aims to reduce the amount of residential development in areas near airports, as these objects are incompatible with each other.

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for solving problems of land management. Scientific work highlights the prospects for the use of unmanned aerial systems in the implementation of local monitoring and the need to take into account the possibility of using unmanned aerial systems of various types in making management decisions to ensure their maximum efficiency in the shortest possible time. Given problem is not sufficiently substantiated in the Ukrainian law and this can lead to the complication of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, due to bureaucratic and corruption schemes as well as the negative impact on objects of special use regime.

Land is the foundation of all human social production activities and is a precious natural resource and property. Land is a non-renewable resource with a limited area. With the development of human society, the demand for land is also growing. In order to make better use of land resources, scientifically plan land use, protect land resources, obtain maximum economic benefits, and achieve sustainable social and economic development, access to land information is very important. Cartography, which originated from the production activities of human society, has a close relationship with the land. With the development of modern information technology, more and more new technologies have emerged, which has promoted the development and change of cartography, network information technology and database technology. This development has also promoted the emergence and development of spatial data infrastructures (SDI). These changes make the acquisition of land information easier, and the types and quantities of information acquired are more diversified and huge.

(EBA) is the initiative of the World Bank Group, which defines and controls policy rules affecting agricultural and agribusiness markets. The project presents a globally comparable nature of data that can inform the government of decision-making and encourage a stakeholder policy dialogue to create an environment conducive to local, regional and international business in agriculture. The project "Promoting the development of business in agriculture in 2017" aims to promote the creation of the most favorable conditions for agribusiness. By providing the key information about regulatory documents, compared at the global level, the project builds an information base that can be used to conduct a dialogue on issues in policy development and reform. These challenges can stimulate the activities of the private sector and lead to the creation of a more efficient and effective chains of values in the agriculture economy.

It is grounded that in order to improve the financial condition of the created united territorial communities, land management measures should be implemented in order to establish their boundaries and land management of the territories, which, as land improvements, will increase the cost of land and, accordingly, revenues to the budget from the payment for land. To determine the legal and organizational principles of land management of the united territorial communities, proposals were made for amending the current legislation.

Ukraine belongs to agricultural states and has high percent of plowed land. The same tendency is typical for Zhytomyr region, on territory of which more than 350 thousand hectares of highly fertile soils are allocated. However, high land plowing and the favorable raw material base do not always indicate the high economic development of agriculture of the administrative-territorial formation. The task of our research was to analyze the development of crop and livestock production, their share in the structure of agricultural products, as well as the level of population provision by these products in Zhytomyr region. The establishment of the efficiency of the land resources use in the studied region was carried out by statistical analysis. Crop production in Zhytomyr region is represented mainly by the following crops: cereals and legumes, potatoes, vegetable crops, sugar beet, fruit and berry crops. The livestock sector has a dairy-meat direction. Among the agricultural products in the field crop production, the largest share belongs to potatoes and other vegetable crops (24.2%), and in the field of animal husbandry – to milk production (14.7%). The indices of crop and livestock production in households are somewhat higher (116.9 and 101.0%) than in agricultural enterprises (100.6% and 97.1%). The use of land resources by farms in Zhytomyr region is quite effective. This is evidenced by the agricultural product index, which is 105.2% compared to the previous year and the average indicator for Ukraine in 2017 (97.3%).
