Summary of research and developments

 

Introduction

The constitution of Ukraine says: the earth is the basic national riches, and is under especial protection of the state. The property right to the earth is guaranteed. This right is got and realised by citizens, legal bodies and the state according to the law.

Provision of economic incentives of rational use and protection of the earths is directed on increase of interest of land owners, land users and tenants in preservation and reproduction of fertility  soils, protection of the earths against negative consequences of industrial activity and according to the Ground code of Ukraine includes: granting of tax and credit privileges to citizens and the legal bodies who are carrying out for own means of a measure, provided by nation-wide and regional programs of use and protection of the earths, assignment of the state or local budget to citizens and legal bodies for restoration of the previous condition of the earths broken not on their fault, clearing of a payment for the ground areas which are in a stage of agricultural development or improvements of their condition according to the state and regional programs, indemnification from budgetary funds of decrease in the income of owners of land and land users owing to time preservation of the degraded and unproductive earths which have become by those not on their fault.

 

Urgency

The primary goal of the enterprises of Ukraine including agricultural, is reception and profit escalating. In agriculture of Ukraine crops of agricultural crops, in particular grain, far do not correspond to world achievements. Therefore in the country high enough prices for a foodstuff which is not corresponding to incomes of the population.

Improvement of stimulation of efficiency of use of farmlands should lead to increase of productivity and to increase of fertility of the earths that will increase manufacture of agricultural production, a foodstuff, their offers in the market, and, hence, will lead to reduction of prices.

As the earth Ukrane is the basic geopolitical resource of the country, increase of productivity of farmlands will lead to increase the place of the country in the agricultural world market.

Thereupon considered works  is represented actual and expedient now.

The purpose of researches

The work purpose is working out  offers on perfection of measures on stimulation of an effective use of farmlands in Ukraine.

The total area of world ground fund (the area of a land minus ice deserts of Arctic regions and Antarctic) makes 134 million km ². In structure of world ground fund of 11 % it is necessary on the processed earths (arable lands, gardens, vineyards); 23 % – on meadows and pastures; 30 % – on woods; 3 % – on anthropogenous landscapes (settlements, industrial zones, transport lines); 33 % – on the unproductive earths (deserts, bogs and extreme territories with low temperature or in mountains). Agricultural grounds, i.e. the earths used for manufacture of a foodstuff, include arable lands, long-term plantings (gardens, plantations), natural meadows and pastures. Now the total area of agricultural grounds makes 48,1 million km ² (4810 million in hectare), including arable lands (the processed earths) – 1340 million in hectare, a meadow and a pasture – 3365 million in hectare. The greatest sizes of an arable land allocate with the USA (185 million in hectare), India (160 million in hectare), Russia (134 million in hectare), China (95 million in hectare), Canada (46 million in hectare), Kazakhstan (36 million in hectare), Ukraine (34 million in hectare). The share of the processed earths in the general ground fund makes: in India – 57.1 %; to Poland – 46,9 %, Italy – 40,3 %; France – 35,3 %; Germany – 33,9 %; the USA – 19,6 %; China – 10,3 %; Russia – 7,8 %; Australia – 6 %; to Canada – 4,9 %; Egypt – 2,9 %. In the specified countries, as well as in the world as a whole, reserves for agricultural development remains very little: woods and the unproductive earths. Besides in many countries agricultural grounds are quickly reduced, as are taken away under building etc. last decades there was also an expansion of agricultural grounds at the expense of development of virgin lands in Russia, Kazakhstan, China, Canada.

In the world deterioration, or degradation of the earths is marked. So. Owing to erosion 6-7 million in hectare, and bogging is annually deduced from an agricultural turn and salt deduce from land tenure of 1,5 million more hectare. Serious threat to ground fund in 60 countries of the world is represented by desertification before the cultivated earths which has captured territory in 9 million km ². Degradation of farmlands is caused also by their transformation into anthropogenous landscapes. So, in the former USSR for 1965 – 1990 it has been mastered 25 million in hectare of an arable land, and simultaneously 22 million in hectare of already mastered arable land has left an agricultural turn, including 12 million in hectare has left under industrial and transport building.

Now all suitable earth all or nearly so for processing is practically used. Plowing up the new, less convenient areas can lead to rise in price of agricultural production and to negative consequences for environment as it has already occurred in a zone of astable agriculture, for example in a number of the countries of Africa. Though the agricultural areas still increase, there is it the slowed down rates, and growth of arable lands considerably lags behind expansion of agricultural grounds. According to the data of the Food and agricultural organisation of the United Nations (Fao), a share of farmlands for last 30 years the arable land share - with 10,41 to 11,03 %, that is on percent shares has increased with 33,13 to 35,71 % of all land, and. The area of the processed earths for 1961-1990 has increased from 1,3 billion in hectare to 1,4 billion in hectare. There was practically a stabilisation of the area of arable lands.

It is possible to draw a conclusion that the earths suitable for agriculture on the plan to become ever less and its area is especially limited.

 

1.2. Influence of a climate on agriculture

 

The basic negative factor of influence of a climate on a planet is global warming. One of the most evident processes connected with global warming is thawing of glaciers.

For the last a floor of a century the temperature in the southwest of Antarctic, on Antarctic peninsula, has increased on 2,5 °C. In 2002 from Larsen's ice shelf the area of 3250 km ² and thickness over 200 metres, located on Antarctic peninsula, the iceberg the area over 2500 km ² has broken away that actually means glacier destruction. All process of destruction has occupied only 35 days. Before the glacier remained stable during 10 thousand years, from the end of last glacial age. Throughout millenia capacity of a glacier decreased gradually, but speed of its thawing has essentially increased in second half of XX-th century. Glacier thawing has led to emission of a considerable quantity of icebergs (over thousand) in Weddell sea. Other glaciers collapse also. So, summer of 2007 from an ice shelf of Rossa the iceberg in length of 200 km and 30 km has broken away width; slightly earlier, spring of 2007, from the Antarctic continent the ice-rink in length of 270 km and 40 km has broken away width. The congestion of icebergs interferes with an exit of cold waters from Ross sea that leads to infringement эко balance.

Acceleration of process of degradation of a permafrost is noted. From the beginning of 1970th years the temperature of many ears cold lands in Western Siberia has raised on 1,0 °C, in the central Yakutia — on 1—1,5 °C. In the north of Alaska from the middle of 1980th years the temperature of the top layer of frozen breeds has increased on 3 °C.

Thawing of glaciers involves lifting of level of the World ocean, and consequently reductions of the area of a land. With 1990 for 2005 level of the World ocean has increased approximately on 4 see And by 2050 lifting on 30—50 sm that will lead to partial or full flooding of many coastal territories, especially in Asia is predicted.

The change of global structure of atmospheric circulation connected with global warming, i.e. ways of moving of cyclones and anticyclones, will lead as a whole on globe to increase in the areas of the continents subject to droughts, five times. Now 2 % of all land are subject to a strong drought, and by 2050 it will amaze 10 % of territory. Besides, changes of quantity of dropping out deposits will concern not only their territorial distribution, but also distribution on seasons of year. The changed thermal and water mode will demand essential reorganisation of structure of an agricultural production, a sowing material, conditions of pest control, gathering and storage of agricultural production etc. Climatic changes will essentially affect working conditions of transport branch. Thus the most part of losses is almost inevitable, as emission of the gases leading to global warming, has already occurred. Therefore a priority is working out of actions for minimisation of these consequences. Such work by request of the governments is conducted in many countries of the world, but, unfortunately, our country drops out of this process.

 

1.3. Population of the earth on continents, the countries and their agricultural potential

 

In 2003 population of parts of the world made 6521 (million persons): Asia — 3981 million foreheads, Europe — 732 million foreheads, Africa — 960 million foreheads, Northern and Central America — 442 million foreheads, the South America — 378 million foreheads, Australia and Ocenia — 28 million, the people In the beginning of 2000th years the world population annually increased approximately by 90.1 million persons. A population geographic distribution non-uniformly: on 7 % of a land there live 70 % of mankind. 10 countries of the world largest on the population for 2000 are presented in table 1.2, the forecast for 2030 in table 1.3.

Let's consider productivity of agriculture of 5 greatest countries.

China is the leader in the world on gathering of all kinds of grain (380 million т. In a year from them 95 million wheat т.). Productivity of wheat constantly grows In China. Intensive development of agriculture is in many respects caused by deficiency of the earth suitable for cultivation of agricultural crops. For example, if in 1980 average productivity of grain made 29,49 centners from hectare by 1990 it has reached 46,64 ts/hectares, and in 2005 51,05 ts/hectares. Grain manufacture on soul of the population - of 285 kg/people.

Grain is not the basic product of agriculture of India, however total gathering about 200 million tons a year. Productivity - from 30 ts/hectares on the irrigated areas in Punjab to 6,5 ts/hectares in dry areas of Gujarat at average on the country of 18,7 ts/hectares. Wheat manufacture grows in India especially fast rates: its gathering have increased since 60th years practically in 6 times. Grain manufacture on soul of the population - of 174 kg/foreheads a year.

In the USA the area of arable lands – 122 million in hectare, from them under grain – 50 million in hectare. Farmers are registered on 2,4 million persons. Cбор a crop makes: 65 ts/hectares of fodder grain (corn – 75 ts/hectares, on an irrigation – to 200 ts/hectares) and 25-30 ts/hectares of food grain. Total gathering of grain about 350 million tons a year. It is an absolute world record of manufacture of grain on soul - over 1600 kg/foreheads a year (EU and Russia – about 500 kg), at internal consumption of foreheads of 800 kg / a year, including forages. In recalculation on "the Indian" consumption (200 kg/foreheads a year) are enough of it for a proforage of 1,7 billion people.

In Indonesia the agriculture share in a country national produce steadily decreases – from 28 % in 1981 to 16,6 % in 2004, – it continues to remain the major sector of the Indonesian economy in which it is occupied apprx. 45 % of the amateur population, mainly малоземельные peasants or hired agricultural workers on plantations. The processed agricultural earths (1998) make about 18 % of territory of the country – 33,5 million in hectare. Total gathering of the grain is approximately equal to 50 million tons a year.

In agriculture 30 % of economically active population (more than 20 million persons) are occupied. Some of agricultural crops of Brazil have large commodity markets abroad, others are made mainly for internal consumption. Average productivity of wheat makes 25,4 ts/hectares, quality of wheat is characterised as "very good". Total gathering of wheat is approximately equal to 8.5 million tons a year, and grain, about 60 million tons a year.

Japan, Brazil, Egypt, Algeria, Iran, Indonesia concern number of considerable importers of wheat. The EU countries (especially France), the USA, India, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Pakistan, Turkey and Kazakhstan are considered as other basic producers of wheat Russia. Last years world production of grain and leguminous cultures makes about 2 billion tons a year. On manufacture total amount China (20 %), on the second place of the USA (17,6 %) is in the lead. On the countries of Europe 13 % of world production of grain as a whole are necessary, the most significant manufacturers here are France, Ukraine, Germany, Great Britain, Poland. Counting on soul of the population leaders of manufacture grain in the world are Canada, Denmark, the USA, France.

 

Сonclusion

From the aforesaid it is possible to draw a conclusion that the majority most populations the countries do not make enough grain and leguminous for consumption in the country and are importers. At present the countries of Africa periodically hunger. However under forecasts for 2030 the population will grow on 1.5 billion the person and will make 8 billion the people At such considerable quantity of the population the countries with advanced economy, and in particular China and India will starve also. Therefore it is required as it is possible to introduce faster mechanisms of provision of economic incentives of rational land tenure and protection of the earths for restoration broken and degradation preventions nowadays arable lands.
