Abstract. Agriculture is a field of active and close interaction between society and nature. Land in agriculture is not only the living environment of rural residents, but also the primary means of agricultural production. The earth provides the development of crop production (grain, rice, buckwheat and other crops), vegetable, fruit and medicinal herbs, livestock (pasture and other forages), beekeeping, etc. Agriculture and livestock breeding are impossible without the use of water. Water is used for watering animals and poultry, for watering plants. Water is needed for aquaculture and fisheries. Forest and non-forest vegetation also play an important role in agriculture. This grazing, hayfields, side types of forest management related to subsistence fisheries (berry and mushroom picking, harvesting of brooms, birch bark and birch SAP, beekeeping). The agro-industrial complex carries out subsoil use (harvesting of peat, sapropel, salt lakes brine, crushed stone, gravel, sand and other common non-metallic materials). Agriculture can't do without oxygen-rich clean air. Agricultural production is interlinked with other animals (earthworms that formate soil, pollinating plants insects, beneficial birds, etc.). The rhythm of production in agriculture is largely governed by natural biological laws. But active human activities every year is having an increasingly significant impact on the environment, and this effect requires legal regulation. The article gives a brief overview of the negative impact of agricultural activities on the environment. The existing organizational-legal and economic mechanisms for the rational use of natural resources in agriculture and their legal protection are considered.
