Land policy in agricultural land use and its development in the Central Black Earth economic region

Abstract

The long-term non-use of the most part of productive agricultural lands is connected with the organization of their use - the regulation of land relations and the administration of land resources. Lack of the unified federal information system on agricultural land and land suitable for agriculture but taking a part of other categories of land, the incomplete land cadastre with an inaccurate location of boundaries, excessive retention of agricultural land in state and municipal property used on short-term lease, undeveloped market for agricultural land, excessive concentration of agricultural land in some individuals and legal entities and lack of land in family peasant (farmer) households, favorable conditions for the growth of land rentiers, limited access to land for local rural residents and other numerous problems associated with the loss of development institutions (such as land management), inefficient administration of agricultural land (for example, land redistribution fund) and imperfection or non-implementation of land legislation (when the declarations are not supported by the implementation mechanisms). The article presents the strategy for development of the land policy for agricultural land use, shows the problems and their causes as well as the mechanisms and tools to overcome. The author proposed two scenarios - inertial and target (main), and also the plans and mechanisms of implementation.
