NUBiP of Ukraine joins the formation of the future German-Ukrainian agropolitical dialogue
Professor Taras YEVSYUKOV, acting head of the department of geodesy and cartography, and professor Andriy MARTYN, head of the department of land management design of the NUBiP of Ukraine, took part in the meeting on planning of the German-Ukrainian agropolitical dialogue, held on October 07, 2025 at the Federal Ministry of agriculture, food and regional identity of Germany (Bundesministerium für Landwirtschaft, Ernährung und Heimat, BMLEH) in Berlin. The participation of Ukrainian scientists took place at the invitation of the ministry as part of the official delegation of Ukraine.
The meeting was a key stage in preparations for a new cycle of cooperation within the framework of the German-Ukrainian agropolitical dialogue (APD), which will begin in 2026. During the event, representatives of both sides discussed the results of existing projects and identified areas for further partnership in agricultural policy, land relations, environmental transformation and rural development. Special attention was paid to the integration of Ukraine's land policy into European practices and support for educational and scientific initiatives.
Professor Andriy MARTYN in his speech stressed that land policy is a systemically important element of agricultural development and sustainable recovery of Ukraine. He stressed that effective land management determines the success of reforms in rural development, green transition and post-war infrastructure restoration. He paid special attention to the development of digital land management systems — IACS, LPIS and INSPIRE — as the basis for Ukraine's future integration into the EU's Common agricultural policy. According to the scientist, it is spatial planning that combines the economic, environmental and social aspects of land use and provides the basis for balanced development of territories.
Professor Taras YEVSYUKOV emphasized the importance of supporting educational initiatives, which is a component of cooperation within the APD. He thanked the Federal Ministry for its systematic assistance in strengthening human capital and developing agricultural education in Ukraine. In his speech, he noted that thanks to the APD projects, Ukrainian students and lecturers had the opportunity to join modern educational programs, internships in Germany, as well as use new educational materials developed jointly with German partners. Professor YEVSYUKOV noted the readiness of Ukrainian universities, in particular NUBIP, to develop joint European-level educational programs aimed at training young professionals in sustainable rural development, natural resource management and climate adaptation.
Faculty of land management of NUBiP of Ukraine has been an active partner of the German-Ukrainian agropolitical dialogue for many years. Cooperation with the APD covers scientific research, expert support for land policy reforms, as well as the development of educational programs to train a new generation of specialists. The participation of university representatives in the meeting in Berlin confirmed the consistency and depth of this partnership aimed at supporting transformation processes in agriculture and sustainable development of Ukraine.
