Abstract

A study of basic types of agricultural land use in Moscow Oblast regionalizes oblast agriculture according to a series of indices representing land use intensity and productivity: level of capital investment, intensity of fertilizer application, crop rotation schemes, mean farm size, percent of arable land, and number of farm workers. The categories identified ranged from a zone of intensive commercial livestock-feeding and hothouse operations, for the most part lying within or inside the greenbelt of the city, to space-extensive livestock breeding operations along the western and southwestern edges of the oblast having a very small proportion of marketable output (translated by Andrew R. Bond).
