Abstract

Land plays an important role as the main means of production. Soil as an element of the human environment is of great importance, since soil quality affects human health and living conditions. In the Russian Federation, much attention is paid to improving the efficiency of agricultural land use. This category of land is important for the country’s food security, protection of vital interests and rights to a safe natural environment for present and future generations. Currently, there is a reduction in the area of agricultural land. This is due to the alienation of agricultural land for non-agricultural needs, as well as a number of negative factors affecting the state of agricultural land. The growing trend towards a reduction in agricultural land and pastures due to waste pollution, erosional land degradation processes, a decrease in the content of humus in soils, an increase in pollution of surface and groundwater negatively affects the quality and productivity of agricultural crops. The article analyzes the level of waste generation and their impact on agricultural land. The authors studied land legislation, in particular, in relation to agricultural land, which have a special legal regime as subject to special protection to preserve not only their territories, but also to prevent the development of environmentally unfavorable processes caused by technogenic impact and irrational actions of environmental management. Properly organized monitoring of the dynamics of changes in the area of land plots, including irrigation, is important.
