Organic production is one of the perspective directions of development the agricultural sector. Ukraine has regions with favorable conditions for organic production at the same time, it belongs to the countries with the most difficult environmental situation: 5 regions have suffered after the accident at the Chernobyl zone of high natural radioactivity and intensive exposure to the industry. For the successful implementation of organic production in Ukraine required should be a preliminary assessment of the environmental situation and determine the suitability of farmland at different levels of the arrangement. Estimation of agricultural land requirements for organic production at the regional and local levels was carried out in conditions of Cherkasy region. The applicability of the grounds at the regional level is carried out according to the results of the analysis of monitoring data of soil agrochemical and certification of agricultural lands; information on the location of the industrial enterprises and facilities can pollute the environment, main and regional roads. The applicability of the grounds for the local level arrangement of the territory carried out by the example of FG af "Basis." the status of the soils of the economy estimated by comparing actual figures with reference, as well as sanitary standards. The results of the evaluation of agricultural land of Cherkasy region for compliance with organic production have shown that soil 16 districts were characterised by certain levels of pollution from heavy metals, radionuclides and residual amounts of pesticides. Introduction of organic agricultural production in these areas is possible only after a detailed study of the territory of the location of a particular economy. A detailed study of the territory, which is located in one of these areas, and plans to transition to organic production, carried out a complex of indicators that describe the State of the natural environment, fertility, and contamination soil. Estimation of agricultural land requirements for organic production at the regional and local levels, the arrangement of the territory will provide the opportunity to make an objective decision on the feasibility of the transition of the agricultural producers to the organic method of production in terms of a specific region.
