A comprehensive historical and legal analysis of the formation and development of the agrarian labor relations’ institute was conducted. For this purpose, special literature on the legal regulation of labor in the agricultural sphere was analyzed, it was proven that in different historical periods the organization of people's labor took place differently. Then the essence of labor organization and its features were clarified. The legal support of labor activity in Ukraine in the context of its membership in international communities, in particular the International Labor Organization, was also investigated. Since a person needs to consume high-quality and safe food products, anthropogenic impact on the environment is inevitable, but it is important to mitigate it through international agreements.
The expediency of simultaneous application of norms of agrarian, labor and international law to the regulation of labor organization in agriculture of Ukraine is argued. The content of the concept of "lease contract" is clarified, its types are given .
The scientific literature devoted to the issues of legal regulation of labor relations in agricultural cooperatives has been analyzed. It has been proven that there are important features of labor organization also in enterprises of other organizational and legal forms.
The content of individual legal documents of international communities in this sphere is clarified, such as the ILO Convention on Rural Workers' Organizations and Their Role in Economic and Social Development No. 141. The norms of the ILO Convention on Rural Workers' Organizations and Their Role in Economic and Social Development are presented, which reveal the content of the concept of "rural workers" and make a comparison with historical forms of labor organization in Ukraine. For this purpose, the historical aspect of labor organization is analyzed.
In addition to taking into account the law of the European Union and the law of the World Trade Organization, the current state of the European legal framework for digital labor platforms has been borne in mind, and separate norms regulate the issue of labor organization in agriculture.
The need to harmonize Ukrainian legislation with the law of international communities in terms of declaring and adhering to the principles, on which the organization of labor of rural workers is based, is highlighted in this article
