SCIENTIFIC PREREQUISITES OF OPTIMIZATION OF LAND RESOURCES

Abstract

The reasons of the degradation of agricultural land, the innovative tasks of optimizing land use and the prospects for scientific support of agricultural environmental management are considered. The necessity of technological agriculture modernization on the base of the adaptive landscape systems development and high-tech agricultural technologies is justified. Further development of adaptive intensification of agriculture and land use is associated with the design of optimal agricultural landscapes (agricultural landscapes, livestock, water, residential and others) in the system of ecological frameworks of the territory integrated with field infrastructure. As a toolkit for landscape design a structural functional landscape analysis is proposed. The Land use regulation, land relations, land market is aimed to the development of government land policy; introduction of a land use control system; limiting the maximum size of land in the property; prohibition to the acquisition of land by foreign citizens in various forms; a progressive increase of land tax on the increase of land area in property; restoration of state land management; the creation of a State Land Service. As the most important condition for optimizing the use of resources and environmental management in general the need to adjust the economic course, the formation of government land policy based on strategic land use planning and the solution of a number of legal, management, organizational, personnel and educational tasks are considered.
