Abstract
Agricultural land is a natural heritage of each country; therefore the land protection is required. The agricultural land protection is a complex role where the interests of agriculture, industry, housing, transport and the environment should be taken into account. Moreover, it is necessary to consider also the EU legislation because the national laws have to be in harmony with the EU legal acts. Therefore, it is a very hard role to meet all entitled interests together with the requirements of the EU law. Therefore, the adoption of a legal measure should be accompanied by the complex analysis of how the measure would affect the land protection. The Slovak lawmaker has adopted some legislative acts with special measures for the land protection, but they are a focus of regular and frequent amendments.

Summary
Agricultural land is a natural heritage and an economic, social and ecological potential of each country. The portion of the land surface of the earth upon which plant grows is covered by the soil (Baldwin et al, 1938) which is considered as a non‐renewable dynamic natural resource that is essential to life (Schoonover, Crim 2015). The important role of land is food production to ensure food security but there are environmental functions, landscape element with the regulation and detoxification potential (Kobza, 2010). The land should be taken the great care mainly at the time when land degradation is considered as a major global environmental issue of this century (Eswaran et al, 2001). The wrong practises of some farmers cause water or wind erosion which is the reason of large damage on the land (Hanes, 2014) and industry, transport, infrastructure and housing construction cause even more agricultural land loss, mainly the most fertile ones (Ilavská, 2016; Némethová, Feszterová, 2018)
