Mudrak Halina – Candidate of Geographical Sciences Associate Professor of the Department of Ecology and Environmental Protection of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University (21008, Vinnitsa, Sonyachna st. 3).

The article substantiates the necessity of conducting complex ecological monitoring of agrolandscapes due to the ecologically groundless use of the land, insufficient technical and technological support, implementation of ineffective investment and innovative economic and technological solutions, disturbance of the balance of agrolandscapes through their significant plowing, consolidation of the soil, deterioration of the ratio of arable land and ecology -stabilization lands and nature reserve fund, inefficient implementation of ecological and the Emerald Network, destruction of soil (soil buffering capacity decrease), growing areas of degraded land.

A scientifically-based methodology for improving environmental monitoring of agro-landscapes of Ukraine’s territory, their optimization and effective use is proposed. The stages and specifics of carrying out of complex ecological monitoring of various kinds of agro-landscapes, their functional-structural elements, main directions and parameters are presented.

The necessity of carrying out of the proposed integrated system of the agro-landscapes ecological monitoring on the territory and creation of regional information and consultation centers on agro-ecological issues has been proved.
