Topicality. Climate change is one of the global challenges for humanity. It is formed over the decades and become more and more obvious, change the conditions of management and have a number of negative consequences for many areas of economic activity and, in particular, the agricultural sector of the economy. The global climate is the result of the interaction of factors of natural and man-made origin. If the former are objective in nature, the latter are due to the combined effects of global economic activity. Addressing climate anomalies has two global vectors: addressing the factors that accelerate climate change and developing adaptive measures to prevent the negative impact of these changes to ensure that land is protected from degradation, to maintain the financial capacity and resilience of businesses. The managerial aspect in the conditions of market, economic-ecological and information uncertainty acquires relevance for the maintenance and strengthening of competitive positions of land users. The problem of developing adaptation measures should be considered at the state, regional and local levels, which determines the direction of work.
Aim and tasks. The aim of the study is to develop effective management measures to adapt agribusiness to profitable farming in the new climate. Realization of the purpose has led to the decision of research tasks: to estimate tendencies of transformations of natural and climatic conditions of agricultural management; propose precautionary measures and management actions to ensure efficient management in the context of intensifying climate change in southern Ukraine.
Research results. According to the results of the analysis, the need for a comprehensive approach to solving the problem of adaptation of the agricultural sector to changes in natural conditions of agricultural production, based on the revival of irrigation in the zone of risky agriculture, which is the steppe zone and especially its southern part. The priority management actions at all levels of the management vertical are defined.
Conclusion. The problem of adaptation of the agricultural sector to climate change should be considered not only as a vector of increasing the production of export-oriented agricultural products, but as a way to preserve highly productive lands that have a high percentage of humus and degrade due to moisture deficit. Given that the field of land reclamation has felt all the effects of transformation processes, lost support from the state, and in some cases controllability, the very strategy of this area will determine the most rational scenario for its development. The main areas of search are the following vectors of possible solutions: right-establishing; institutional; technical and technological; organizational and managerial; innovation and investment; economic; informative; alternative. Modern challenges are not limited to solving the problem of irrigation at the expense of existing water supply sources. The whole world today is inventing ways to accumulate water for the needs of the agricultural sector, using local conditions and opportunities. Determining their list, feasibility of implementation, expected effect and scope is an important scientific problem that needs to be studied.
