In the Europe dominating kinds are sealing (hermetic) of a soil cover, various pollution and water erosion. In Ukraine - dehumification, decrease in the contents of nutrients in soils and various displays of physical degradation. Offers on development in Ukraine of monitoring of a soil cover and reanimation of programs of increase of soil fertility are proved and also about a concrete definition of mutual relations between Ukraine and the European soil partnership. <strong>Conclusions.</strong><strong> </strong>State of soils in Europe and in Ukraine under the influence of unbalanced and overly intensive agricultural technologies shows a clear trend towards deterioration. Needed systematic monitoring of soil fertility improvement program, radical change in the content of agricultural technologies and establish close cooperation with global and European soil partnerships. The plans for the implementation YEHP desirable to consider the specifics of Ukraine and countries of the former Soviet Union.</p&gt;}, number={16}, journal={Visnyk of V. N.
