Having come to the realization that the ecological situation in Ukraine is catastrophic, nowadays the legislative base is being formed at a more accelerated pace and new mechanisms of environmental control are being introduced. However, to a large extent, the question of the legal fixing of the goals and methods of such control has not yet passed from the scientific-theoretical plane to the practical one.

The concept of ecological control of agricultural sector entities should be understood as the activity of authorized entities that check compliance with and enforceable environmental legislation in the field of environmental protection, use of natural resources and ensure environmental safety in the process of production, harvesting and sale of agricultural products.

Ukraine has established a system of legal acts that regulate relations on environmental controls, but they need improvement. An extensive system of government bodies performing relevant control functions also needs to be improved, first and foremost, in the direction of differentiating control functions between them in the environmental sphere. The introduction of an integrated automated system «Ecological control» will have a positive impact on the compliance of environmental legislation by the actors of the agrarian sector of the economy.
