The instability and excessive intensity of modern agriculture's systems are the result of a number of unresolved environmental and economic problems. The main purpose of our study is to assess the economic losses caused by degradation processes within the research facility. Comparing the current cost of future losses from unreceived agricultural products by years while maintaining the existing rate of land degradation, which is 1070.45 thousand UAH, with the total cost of CAOT on erosion-hazardous areas within Kamyanobrid village council Lysyansky district of Cherkasy region - 798.85 thousand UAH, it is possible to determine the economic efficiency of land protection measures in the long run, which is equal to 271.60 thousand UAH, because the arrangement of CAOT elements allows to preserve the existing state of land resources, stop degradation processes and prevent reduction of agricultural production.
