The latest technology is an important factor in the development of land use efficiency

The land factor plays a huge role in the life support of society as a whole and of each of its members individually. The most valuable are agricultural land - the main source of food and the basis of food security of the country. These lands in the total land area occupy a relatively small proportion; their condition is constantly deteriorating due to the undeveloped environmental, economic and legal basis for the use of land. In the set of measures for the rational use of agricultural land, the most important place belongs to the problem of improving land use, including issues of regulating land relations, land ownership, economic regulation of environmental measures, as well as organizational, legal, informational, personnel, and technical, technological and agronomic issues. The lack of a scientific concept on the optimal ratio of land to cultivated arable land led to unreasonably accelerated plowing of land, including unproductive, which upset the natural balance, worsened the condition of the land, and reduced the productivity of the fields. With regard to the agro-industrial complex, land protection and protection, that is, bringing land resources in line with environmental laws is the starting point on the path to a sustainable development model. The transition from utilitarian-consumer land use to integral-protective land, the subject of which would be human society as a whole, and the criterion for assessing and using natural resources - some basic social need, will be quite long. However, in order to avoid environmental disasters, it is important to establish environmental rules for economic activity today. The essence of protecting agricultural lands and increasing their fertility lies in the rational use of nature.
