Risk Insurance

The research paper highlights how the problem of finding instruments of financial and economic support for enterprises in the agricultural sector of economy is addressed and, above all, for business entities in crop production. Given the imperfection of the legal and regulatory framework for agri-environmental safety and economic crisis in Ukraine, there is a need for further instruments, ensuring a balanced development of agricultural land-use management. The most appropriate solution to the above problems is an approach that can provide not only financial support to producers of agricultural products, but also reduce the likelihood of adverse effects or environmental situations with negative economic consequences. The increasing degradation processes in the agricultural sector are the source of environmental threats in the crop production subsector, which require the development of an appropriate strategy for agricultural production based on the needs of all subsystems in the agricultural sector. In order to find solutions to environmental and economic contradictions, it is important to develop a business strategy which includes introducing a set of instruments for enhancing the effective functioning of ecological and economic tools and achieving a balanced level of land-use management. In this regard, risk insurance of agricultural land-use management is an important instrument. Its purpose, along with reducing the economic burden on enterprises, is to reduce the level of threats and mitigate the negative effects of land use. The Directive 2004/35/CE of the European Parliament and of the Council “On environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage” serves as an international legal basis for performing the above-mentioned tasks in Ukraine on its way to Europe. Its guiding principle is to take efforts in order to implement measures aimed at preventing negative impact from worsening of environmental safety. However, introducing insurance instrument into practice requires further research of theoretical and methodological aspects of such activities. The key component of such activities is developing a systematic list of risks accompanying economic activities in agricultural land use.

During the analysis of legislation, regulations and their practical implementation we identified problems of maintaining the required level of environmental safety of agricultural land use. In this regard, the incentive of environmental measures implemented by economic entities in the agricultural sector is essential both by the state and through the intensification of private initiative. It is substantiated that due to the competent combination of parameters and tools of the regulator, landowners and land users will honestly comply with the requirements of environmental safety in land use. It is proposed to introduce changes to the legislation with a clear definition of the sources, grounds, procedure for compensation payments for implementation of environmental protection measures by agricultural land use entities. It is expedient to intensify the system of joint funds for restoration, reproduction and protection of agricultural lands.

Joad said, “You're bound to get idears if you go thinkin’ about stuff.”John Steinbeck, The Grapes of WrathPast agricultural programs encouraged the withdrawal of cropland from agricultural production. With the removal of crop acreage restrictions and despite the favorable relationships of the 1972–1974 period, all of this land has not been immediately activated into crop production. Some programs encouraged shifts of cropland to pasture, timber production, or to soil improvement uses. Land converted to these alternatives is potentially available for crop production, but whether or at what rate it will be reemployed remains problematic.

This paper is focused on the application of linear programming (LP) in combination with a geographic information system (GIS) in planning agricultural land-use strategies. One of the essential inputs for planning any agricultural land-use strategy is a knowledge of the natural resources. This is even more critical in small countries such as those in the Eastern Caribbean, where land-area limitations dictate a greater need for careful assessment and management of these resources. The first step of the proposed methodology is to obtain an assessment of the natural resources available to agriculture. The GIS is used to delineate land-use conflicts and provide reliable information on the natural-resource database. This is followed by combining the data on natural resources with other quantifiable information on available labour, market forecasts, technology, and cost information in order to estimate the economic potential of the agricultural sector. LP is used in this step. Finally, the GIS is applied again to map the crop and land-allocation patterns generated by the LP model. The results are concrete suggestions for resource allocation, farm-size mix, policy application, and implementation projects.

An important component of forming the basis for the balanced development of the domestic agricultural sector is the reproduction and protection of land resources. A significant part of the problems here are directly related to the insufficiency and inefficiency of financial support for agricultural land use. The purpose of the article is to reveal the financial and credit mechanism for ensuring balanced land use and to develop proposals for improving the financial support for the reproduction and protection of agricultural land through the introduction of tax incentives. The financial and credit mechanism for stimulating balanced agricultural land use can be defined as structurally complex and diversified; it has its own features to ensure its implementation and influence on the subjects of financial and credit relations in the direction of regulating their activities. It is established that financial relations in agricultural land use combine a very large chain of relationships between the state, enterprises, individuals and financial institutions in terms of financial support for the reproduction of agricultural land use. The financial and credit mechanism for stimulating balanced agricultural land use can be defined as structurally complex and branched; it has its own features to ensure its implementation and influence on the subjects of financial and credit relations in the direction of regulating their activities. It is proved that it is necessary to create such conditions of management that unbalanced use of land became economically unprofitable. The level of profitability and income of land users should become dependent on the degree of achievement of balanced agricultural land use, which is determined by a set of agrochemical indicators of the quality of land used for agricultural activities. In order to financially ensure the reproduction of balanced agricultural land use, the introduction of tax incentives is proposed. These include the formation of general favorable tax conditions for enterprises in the agricultural sector of the economy and the introduction of targeted tax benefits. It is established that the use of the above financial and credit levers and incentives for the development of balanced land use is the most accepted in today's challenges, because it has minimal impact on the expenditure side of the state budget.

The article deals with the relationship between economic development and environmental security.With regard to agricultural land use, ensuring environmental security involves optimizing the organization of land use and land use process on the basis of environmental restrictions on environmental pollution and agricultural products. First of all, according to environmental constraints, the possibilities of exploitation of natural resources and taking into account the peculiarities of agroecosystems (natural and climatic conditions, water resources, terrain, land and soil structure, land erosion, etc.) are determined to address food security. On their basis, ecologically balanced operation of agroecosystems is carried out through the formation of ecologically safe land uses, which provide for the optimization of economic activity of agricultural producers, taking into account environmental constraints. The article clarifies the essence and significance of ecologically safe agricultural land use in agriculture, proposes an approach to defining the essence of ecologically safe agricultural land use as a process of land use in the agricultural sector of the economy, which prevents the danger to human health, degradation of land resources, as well as their resilience to environmental threats and risks. The role of ecologically safe agrarian land use in ensuring sustainable development of rural areas and directions of influence of interaction of ecological and economic components of safety of agrarian land use are defined.
