In the mid-20th century much of the wet peat soils in the region were drained for agriculture, but over a short time these areas have become degraded, and the water table continues to subside, which causes forest die-offs. Land use is not optimized, so agriculture continues to encroach on high value ecosystems. Underlying drivers of this situation are limited local and national capacity and coordination in land use planning, limited technical knowledge for sustainable livestock on wet peat soils, limited capital access and investment in sustainable livestock, limited and deteriorating water management infrastructure, and UNDP Project Document Template – March 2020 1 | P a g e livestock value chains that currently do not sufficiently incentivize sustainable livestock production. Ukraine is among the world’s 20 leading livestock production countries, and the livestock sector is one of the drivers of rural development in the Northern Ukraine Landscape. Domestic markets consume 80% of Ukrainian beef and dairy products, while Ukraine annually exports 30,000-40,000 tons of beef products. Over 60% of population in the region are engaged in agriculture. Over 67% of cattle ownership is with small-holders (with land parcels up to 10 hectares), and 69% of farms own less than 500 heads, while there are 97 large enterprises in the Northern Ukraine Landscape who own over 1,000 heads. The project objective will be achieved through i) implementation of sustainable Integrated Land Use Plans (ILUPs); ii) land restoration, and promotion of sustainable livestock production practices and value chains, including a multi-stakeholder sustainable livestock platform; iii) conservation and restoration of natural habitats; and iv) coordination, learning, information dissemination, and knowledge management. Planned project results include 2.98 million hectares of production landscape under improved agricultural practices; more than 9,000 direct beneficiaries; improved status of biodiversity including 18 globally significant species; 36,100 ha of land restored; 68,000 ha of high value ecosystems conserved; and increased knowledge and understanding of sustainable livestock practices in wet peat soils. In addition, the project will support implementation of national voluntary targets and supplementary activities to achieve Land Degradation Neutrality in Ukraine, and implement the National Action Plan to combat land degradation and desertification. All aspects of the project have been developed to ensure gender mainstreaming. The project will share its lessons and in turn learn from other Global GEF FOLUR initiatives, in particular those dedicated to sustainable livestock management.

Firstly, this is due to the fact that modern society is concerned about the health state and its improvement, and secondly, there is a worsening of the population health state, an increase in the incidence rate, the spread of socially dangerous and chronic diseases, which lead to the widespread use of resort therapy and the health tourism development. Many works of modern scientists, such as B.I. Aksentiychuk, M.M. Baranovsky, H.A. Barkova, V.M. Boholyubova, V.O. Jaman, S.I. Nikitenko, K.A. Nemets, L.M. Nemets, S.V. Leonov, O.O. Lyubitseva, M.P. Malska, N.P. Melnyk, O.Ya. Romaniv, M.Yu. Rutynsky, N.V. Chernenko, L.T. Shevchuk and others, are devoted to the problems of health tourism organization. Health tourism is a travel to the resort areas for the purpose of treatment. Health tourism is divided into therapeutic, which aims at its own treatment, therapy, rehabilitation after illness, and preventive (wellness tourism), focused on maintaining the body in a healthy state and keeping the balance between human physical and psychological health [4]. Currently, traditional health resorts are no longer a place of treatment and recreation for older people, and they become a multifunctional wellness center for a wider range of consumers. The choice is made between resorts that specialize in the treatment of a particular disease and resorts of mixed type, which generally promote health and contribute to recovery and stress relief [2].

At present, Ukraine produces phosphate fertilizers at only two enterprises: Public Joint-Stock Company (PJSC) «Sumykhimprom» and PJSC «Dniprovs- kiy Plant of Chemical Fertilizer» that has a total production capacity of 1434 thousand tons 100% P2O5 in the form of complex mineral fertilizers.

  • Sacred Architecture in the Area of Historical Volhynia
    E3S Web of Conferences 217, 01007 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202021701007 ERSME-2020 Sacred architecture in the area of historical Volhynia Liliia Gnatiuk1,* 1National Aviation University, Interior Design Department, Faculty of architecture, construction and design, Kyiv, Ukraine Abstract. This article discusses the genesis and historical development of the sacred complexes of historic Volhyn. Based on historical and architectural analysis, it is presented that sacred complexes of historic Volhynia were built according to the canons of temple architecture, and at the same time they have their own characteristics, related to national traditions and regional features which appeared as a result of the process of forming Christianity as a religion associated with national development in the specific study territory. The results of a comprehensive analysis of historical and archival documents found in the archives of Ukraine, Poland and Russia, as well as field research are presented. Results of system and theoretical research of significant retrospective analysis of canonical, historical and political prerequisites of sacral complexes were generalized. The concept of sacred complex structures throughout ХІ-ХІХ th centuries is suggested in correlation with the change of religious identity formation and differentiation according to religious requirements. Existence of autochthonous traditions and genuine vector of the Volhynia’s sacred complex development, considering the specific geopolitical location between East and West in the area where two different cultures collide with each other has been proved. The work is shifting statements concerning direct borrowing of architectural and stylistic components of architectural and planning structure and certain decorative elements. 1 Introduction Architecture more than other forms of art reflects the state of society, its political level, the degree of economic development, aesthetic tastes and preferences.
