Consideration of risks in assessing the potential of drained lands: national and international aspects

Abstract

Achieving sustainable development in Ukraine requires coordinating economic growth and environmental protection strategies. At the same time, ensuring the country’s food security is impossible without developing the water and land reclamation complex, which does not consistently achieve the goal of preserving and restoring the potential of land resources. Therefore, the issues of forecasting, preventing, and minimizing economic and environmental losses are of particular importance for the development of Ukraine’s economy and its sectors. This emphasizes the need to study economic and environmental risks in land use and develop strategies to reduce their negative impact on economic activity. Such research is also of great environmental importance, contributing to optimizing the use of natural resources, reducing the anthropogenic load on ecosystems, increasing their resilience and improving their condition.
