The purpose of the article is to actualize the challenges faced by Ukrainian agriculture in the context of climate change and the impact of the economic activity of enterprises on the state of natural resources, as well as to consider the ways and mechanisms of the post-war transition of Ukrainian agriculture to sustainable development. In the study, we used monographic, comparative analysis, empirical, abstract, and logical methods. The first consequences of climate change in agricultural sectors of the planet are characterized. Increasing temperatures to a maximum level, longer periods of extreme heat, more intense droughts, increased moisture deficit during the growing season, winter thaws, the spread of pests and diseases, and other manifestations of climate change have a negative impact on agricultural production. In the context of climate change, as highlighted in the paper, these negative processes will significantly intensify, requiring an immediate transition from ecologically and socially destructive monoculture to agroecological agriculture, which is recognized as one of the most affordable, low-cost, socially oriented, and environmentally relevant ways to transition to sustainable development of the industry. The principles and institutional support for such a transition are revealed, taking into account the expected climate change and post-war consequences for Ukrainian agriculture.
The aim of the study is to investigate the motives of industrial and trade capital in agricultural sector and the consequences of "holdingization" of an agriculture as well as to substantiate main components of the institutional and legal environment aimed at preventing globalization of land use in national agriculture. The following methods were used: monographic (analysis of the distribution of agricultural enterprises by the area of agricultural land); comparative analysis (features of globalization processes in land use); empirical (on a comprehensive assessment of social and environmental consequences of the concentration of large tracts of agricultural land in hands of agroholdings); abstractlogical. Due to the weakness of state structures in Ukraine, the lack of their position on the type of farming as the basis of the agricultural system, unregulated circulation of agricultural land is developing of quasi-agroholding commercial structure of production, accompanied by global transformation of agricultural land use, soil-depleting, intensification of migration and other negative processes. It requires the state regulation of the distribution of agricultural land between economic entities, restricting access to land of non-agricultural companies and greening of land use, which together is an important factor in preventing of the formation of oligarchic-latifundist management system in agriculture of Ukraine.
