Territory management based on the arrangement of agricultural landscapes

Abstract

Currently, there is degradation of land, ignoring the system of scientifically based crop rotations, all this creates enormous damage to the productive potential of the country’s land fund. The paper presents a mechanism for making managerial decisions to preserve land productivity and sustainability of agricultural landscapes, which consists in collecting reliable information about the state of land, then assessing the quality state and land use. Management decisions to preserve land productivity and sustainability of agricultural landscapes are divided into different levels: operational, tactical, strategic). It is necessary to manage the territories based on the rational organization and arrangement of the territory of each specific land use, or, in other words, the management of the territories should be based on the solution of environmental and economic issues in the process of land management, and this, of course, affects the state of the ecosystem of a particular agricultural landscape. The developed mechanism for managing territories based on the arrangement of an agrolandscape consists of 3 stages: creating an agrolandscape structure, assessing its territory and analyzing options for optimizing the territory of each agricultural enterprise located on the territory. agrolandscape could be both collapsing and highly resilient. Different specific gravity of arable land can either soften or exacerbate the ecological state of agrolandscapes in different ways, which means that with the help of optimization indicators of various types of agrolandscapes, humanity has the opportunity to influence the stability of the territory. This system of formation of sustainable land use of agricultural organizations has already been worked out in the development of projects in the base farms of the Voronezh region and is a reliable basis for managing territories.
