Abstract
Objective.Explore the current practice of irrigated agriculture using the methods of system analysis and offer a set of measures for its improvement on the example of pilot territories in the Kherson region.Methods.Analytical, statistical, system analysis.ResultsResearch on the methods of system analysis (DPSIR, SWOT analysis, Causal Loop Diagram) has established that in order to achieve sustainable production on irrigated lands, ensuring the efficient use of resources and preserving the natural environment, it is necessary to develop mechanisms of economic and legislative influence that would stimulate the introduction of innovativeTechnologies of control of technological processes and means of modern agromonitoring.ConclusionsSystem analysis has shown that according to the existing practice of irrigated farming, the economy is profitable and has no incentive to implement resource- efficient technologies.

Key words: practice of irrigated agriculture, system analysis, agromonitoring, resource efficiency, DPSIR, SWOT-analysis, Causal Loop Diagram.
