Intensity of Agricultural Land Use and Land Market Activities in the Central Economic Region in Russia

The activities of state regulation in the field of land use have formed a number of environmental, socio-economic problems based on individual, regional and national interests. This paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the issue of the impact on sustainable agricultural land use, taking into account the new legislative challenges in lifting the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land resources. This study focuses on the implementation of sustainable development goals, including goal 15 – conservation of terrestrial ecosystems and operational task 15.3 – restoration of degraded lands and soils using innovative technologies. Systematization of research in the field of sustainable land use has revealed the need for additional analysis and search for new ways to reform the land use sector, taking into account institutional and legislative changes, as well as the formation of carbon-neutral model of national economy. The purpose of the article is to identify prospects and possible threats to the development of sustainable agricultural land use in an open land market. To achieve this goal, the tools of comparative analysis were used in the work. The object of research is the land fund of Ukraine. The study period is from 2015 to 2020. The sources of statistical information were the statistical databases of the statistical organization of the European Commission (Eurostat), the World Bank and the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. The paper presents the mechanisms of influence on effective sustainable agricultural land use, taking into account the studied statistical information and today's realities. The conducted comparative analysis of the condition of agricultural lands and systematization of normative legal acts regulating the land use industry revealed a number of potentially possible problems. To prevent negative consequences in the field of land use, the authors propose a set of measures to stabilize the sustainable development of agricultural land use.

Lease Agreement

The evolution of agricultural land use development in Ukraine has been studied. The main factors influencing the land market on the formation of agricultural land use are identified, they include: the number of potential buyers (land users) and sellers, the expiration of the lease agreement, the structure of the land bank of the agricultural enterprise (lease, ownership), land consolidation based on land purchase and sale . The article, based on the example of Narizhanska village council of Poltava region, established that only 30 percent of landowners will be able to sell their land plots in the first 2 years due to the expiring lease agreement. The authors study the factors influencing the efficiency of agricultural land use in the land market, the main ones are: disruption of crop rotation, excessive agricultural development and plowing, low rents and competition of land users, a small number of small land uses with poor financial stability, destructive changes -climatic conditions, lack of effective tools for termination of lease agreements, lack, to a large extent, of information on territorial restrictions in the State Land Cadastre and more. The article proposes to make proposals to the regulatory framework in terms of the possibility of one-time termination or re-conclusion of lease agreements due to changes in significant conditions (turnover of agricultural land), which will intensify the sale process, increase investment attractiveness of agricultural land use by increasing the portfolio private property, land consolidation, simplification of the land exchange process, involvement of a larger share of credit and financial institutions in the formation of land use, as well as positively affect the welfare of landowners (shares) and more. The article proposes to ensure the formation of sustainable land use by improving the regulatory framework, ensuring an environmentally friendly structure of sown areas primarily through strengthening the role of landowners, increasing the share of small or medium agricultural land use.
