THE MAIN CHALLENGES FACING THE UNIVERSITIES OF AGRICULTURE AND LIFE SCIENCES IN TERMS OF GLOBAL

ECONOMICAL DEVELOPMENT ARE:

• The impact of global climate change on world production and food security ensuring;

• Increasing problem of food, air, fresh and sea water quality and safety deterioration;

• Struggle against the rising number of starving people in the world;

• Soil fertility remediation;• Rational use of Planet’s biomass in terms of

energy conservation.

The Universities of Agriculture and Life Science should play a key role in solving the above mentioned problems because their mission consists in:

• training specialists and

• providing scientific support of food technologies to result increasing of quality and amount of agricultural products.

2011• The Corporation “International Scientific

Park “Environmental Biosafety and Life Quality” is being established on the basis of the NUBiP of Ukraine.

• The financial organizations which are the participants and partners of our Scientific Park have allocated significant financial funds for its functioning.
