Abstract
One of the main competitive advantages of Russia’s agriculture is its high availability of land resources, which does not exclude the need for careful land management and the implementation of rational land use policies. The article shows the negative dynamics of agricultural land in Russia from 1990 to 2023 and in most regions of the Russian Federation from 2007 to 2023. It highlights the widespread occurrence of soil deflation and the withdrawal of agricultural land from economic circulation. A number of measures are proposed to overcome these negative processes, including addressing the adverse consequences of the 1990s land reform, optimizing the size of land use by economic entities, regulating the use of agricultural land, and promoting the use of mineral fertilizers and soil-protective technologies.
