Abstract

Land is one of the key resources in agricultural production. The use of these resources is signifi antly different from the use of labor resources and financing. It is the land features that affect the assessment of their use efficiency. The analysis of literary sources has shown, there are a large number of approaches and methods to assess the effectiveness of land resources. This indicates a great interest of researchers and practitioners in the issue under study. Each of the researchers offers their own unique methodology for assessing the efficiency of land use. However, it is impossible to distinguish a single method due to various reasons. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the proposed methods are complementary. The main goal of this study was to assess the effectiveness of agricultural land use in France. In this regard we used following methods: analysis and synthesis, graphical method, method of comparisons. The analysis was carried out in three stages. The dynamics and structure of agricultural lands of the country, the harvested areas of the main groups of agricultural crops were analyzed, both cost and natural indicators were calculated. As a result, we can say that the studied indicators should be used in the express assessment of efficiency, they can also be used in the comparative assessment of the efficiency of agricultural land use. For a deeper assessment, in our opinion, it is necessary to use other methods of analysis.

Highlights

  • Land, along with labor and capital, is one of the factors of production

  • There is no single approach to assessing the efficiency of land use

  • In [19], the efficiency of the use of agricultural land is assessed, while in [20] — urban land. These reasons make it difficult to develop a unified methodology for assessing the efficiency of land use

Summary

Introduction

On the one hand, land is an object of labor, and on the other, it is a means of production [1]. There is no single approach to assessing the efficiency of land use In our opinion, this is due to several reasons. In [19], the efficiency of the use of agricultural land is assessed, while in [20] — urban land These reasons make it difficult to develop a unified methodology for assessing the efficiency of land use. In this regard, the main purpose of this work was to assess the effectiveness of the use of agricultural land on the example of France
