Identification of the agroecological potential of agricultural land use

Abstract

At present, the sustainable development of rural areas is one of the main goals of modern state agrarian policy. The system of modern agricultural land use should be formed under the influence of economic, social, legal, environmental and natural conditions of the territory. The authors of modern scientific publications on the sustainability of agricultural land use often consider the concept of sustainability from an agroecological point of view, as maintaining fertility and preventing negative processes. Agroecological capacity is the most important factor affecting agricultural land use efficiency. The paper considers the role of agroecological potential in the system of sustainable agricultural land use. A survey of domestic sources on the importance of agroecological and bioclimatic potential in enhancing the sustainability of agricultural land use was conducted. The concept of agroecological potential of agricultural land use was clarified. The object of the study is the agricultural land use in Volokolamsk district of Moscow region. A comprehensive analysis of financial results of agricultural enterprises and organizations in Moscow region was carried out, which showed low profitability of agricultural land use. The methodology and calculation of agroecological potential of agricultural land use in Volokolamsk district of Moscow region were considered. The measures to increase the possibility of using the generalized assessment of bioclimatic and agroecological resources of Volokolamsk district of Moscow region were proposed and the efficiency assessment on main crops over the past 15 years and comparison with the values of bioclimatic potential of agroecological potential for agricultural land management purposes was performed. The modern principles of sustainable agricultural land use require the placement and specialization of agricultural production in accordance with the agroecological conditions of the territories.
