The Land Issue as a Key Factor in the Development of Agribusiness in Russia

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to rationalize the environmental and economic mechanisms for sustainable land use, to form some organizational and economic tools of rational use of land resources in the natural-economic complex of the Republic as the basis of ecological and economic systems of the arid region. Methods: Such scientific methods as analysis and synthesis, dialectical, abstract and logical, system analysis of the processes of social development have created the methodological basis of the research. Results: The author of the article concludes that it is necessary to prepare and adopt the national strategy for sustainable development of rural areas, taking into account not only universal, but ethnic peculiarities of the Russian rural lifestyle (special, due to the spatial specificity), and the role of the village in social and economic life of the Russian society. Discussion: Since the land resources are one of the major resource components in agriculture, their rational and efficient use is reflected on the whole agrarian society. The effectiveness of the regional system of agricultural land use can not be improved because of limited land resources: low level of natural fertility of arid lands, the constant threat of desertification, loss of productivity of forage lands, low bioclimatic potential, on the one hand, and the lack of the comprehensive environmental remediation of the site with the financing of security and restoration activities for the development of infrastructure in rural areas on the other. All these factors do not allow to increase the efficiency of the regional system of agricultural land use.
