“…Researchers who are critical of these policies point out that the expansion of plots through land consolidation results in decreased in crop diversity, making the farm more vulnerable to epidemics and at increased risk for crop failure due to local natural disasters, such as heavy rains, hail, and floods (Husson and Marochini 1997;Kurylo et al 2017;Gedefaw et al 2019). In addition, changes in parcel structures may influence the choice of production systems (Pauchard et al 2016).…”

We examined the environmental impacts of farmland management practices (FMPs), considering FMPs as frequent or single actions that change both land use AND use rights (land and property relations). Based on a review of the international literature in both the social and life sciences and using an analytical framework of landscape agronomy, we explored the links between FMPs and changes in agricultural practices designed for the achievement of environmental goals. The Web of Science (WOS) and SCOPUS bibliographic databases were used to identify references on FMP types and their environmental effects based on the following search equations: 1-" Farmland tenure OR cropland tenure OR farm size and environment " and 2-"Farmland use rights OR farmland property rights AND environment OR pollution OR biodiversity." Ninety references were selected from these databases and read in depth. Google scholar enabled us to identify an additional 20 papers, using the snowball approach. From this analysis, we present a typology of FMPs based on the distinction between bottom-up strategies, which rely on local initiatives from farmers to improve the overall functioning of their farms, and top-down strategies, which originate from public bodies or private organizations. Our results also highlight the environmental impacts of FMPs considered in the literature: tenure arrangements, whether rental or exchange of land parcels, may alter crop succession and reduce phytosanitary pressure without changing cropping plans. Considering the direct agronomic implications of farmers' land dynamics, we conclude that the area of FMPs is a potential tool for reducing the environmental impacts of agricultural activities and protecting natural resources. This is the subject of ongoing research that seeks to explore a particular FMP in greater depth, along with temporary exchanges of plots between farmers as an agri-environmental tool to reduce agricultural impacts on environment.

“…According to V. Kurylo et al (2017) land fragmentation phenomenon is typical for Ukraine as well as it impacts the land use peculiarities in agriculture. Land fragmentation is considered as a situation when an individual agricultural enterprise may own several land plots, which are spatially separated from each other (Kurylo et al, 2017). Thus, each of these separated land plots may and will vary in its characteristics, which in their turn will form an impact on the specific land plot value.…”

Purpose. The main purpose of the research is to substantiate the methodological approach of defuzzification and to define its peculiarities in the process of estimating the value of agricultural lands. Methodology / approach. The research purpose included the use of a set of appropriate methods. In particular, the fuzzy logic techniques formed the basis of the research. The system approach was used in order to determine the role of land resources in the enterprise potential and the corresponding spheres of their management. The analysis and synthesis methods were used in the process of definition of impact factors of land resources value. The cartographic method was used for the needs of graphical display of humus content in the land plots of the analyzed enterprise. The generalization method was used in the process of forming conclusions. Results. The article defines the peculiarities of defuzzification in the process of estimating the value of agricultural lands. The results provided the methodological basis for considering the qualitative metrics in the process of estimation as well as for granting the numerical interpretation for linguistic variables. The corresponding methodology was overviewed at the example of land plot size. The quantitative reference limits for “small”, “medium” and “large” land plots were defined. Research results made it possible to form the sequence of stages, which are to be undertaken, in order to provide numerical values for qualitative characteristics of agricultural lands. A decision tree was built for the needs of formation of management decisions. According to the data of researched enterprise, the dependence of the value of agricultural lands (for the needs of management accounting) on the size of the land plot and the humus content was determined. Originality / scientific novelty. The article improves the methodological approach to determining the value of agricultural lands as of an element of enterprise potential based on the use of fuzzy logic techniques, which, in contrast to existing approaches, allows taking into account both quantitative and qualitative factors in the process of estimating the value of land resources for the needs of their management. Applying the respective approach increases the level of accuracy, relevance, and adequacy to market realities of the results of estimating the value of agricultural lands for the needs of their management. Practical value / implications. The results of the research provided an opportunity to improve the quality and efficiency of the process of estimating the value of agricultural lands. The corresponding process is characterized by a high level of complexity and uncertainty due to the presence of a significant number of qualitative factors influencing the value of the land resources. The approach considered in the article makes it possible to take into account the influence of relevant qualitative factors by giving them numerical certainty through the use of fuzzy logic techniques. The proposed approach will provide an opportunity to increase the accuracy and relevance of estimating the value of land resources as of an element of enterprise potential for the making of corresponding managerial decisions. The proposed methodological approach was implemented with the use of data of agricultural enterprise, which made it possible to take into account linguistic variables (land plot size and chemical properties of the soil) when forming the managerial decisions about land plots. The decision tree was also formed, which serves as a means of supporting management decisions in the process of forming the value of agricultural lands.

“…Outcomes of contemporary scientific research in the sphere of studying matters concerned with ownership of the land show that there are significant disadvantages of the domestic legislation in the context of regulating land relations. For instance, examining the use of the agricultural land, scholars identify clear regularities of land fragmentation in various agroclimatic zones of Ukraine and consider opportunities for exchange of land resources for efficient functioning of the land market (Kurylo, Pantaliienko, Bogdanets, & Ovcharuk, 2017). Having analyzed the prospects of market turnover of agricultural lands in Ukraine, the scholars substantiate the necessity for the use of transparent procedure in the field of commercial land transactions and emphasize that such process will precede the introduction of a free land market in Ukraine (Koroteiev, Korman, Manzii, Semenda, & Semenda, 2017).…”

The sphere of local self-governance in Ukraine deals with a need for thorough researching and solving problems concerned with enhancing the effectiveness of financial and economic regulation of land relations on account of the expansion of the decentralization reform. The decentralization has led to gaining additional powers by bodies of local self-government. These powers entitles bodies of local self-government to ensure the increase of local budgets of newly-formed territorial units –united territorial communities – owing to carrying out financial transactions with land plots owned by local communities. In the process of research, the authors determine financial and economic efficiency of revenues of local budgets of perspective territorial communities by each region of Ukraine, taking into account variants of the normative monetary evaluation of land and the standard of capitalized rental income of agricultural lands located beyond their built-up areas. The authors substantiate an opportunity to create budget-forming sources of revenues for local budgets of perspective communities through the exercise of powers of bodies of local self-government regarding indicating the value of such lands and a right to lease, as well as terms of paying a single tax for the use of such lands for agricultural activity by taxpayers belonged to the fourth group of the simplified system of taxation.
