Abstract

Introduction. For a long time the application of the extensive land and forest management at the abandoned agricultural land had no respective legislative framework, that would regulate forests growing. The proprietors, who were in despair due to the excessive fines imposed on them for not using the agricultural land, had been burning up the forests on their lands causing considerable damage to themselves, society, the state and nature. In Russia, the area of the abandoned agricultural land suitable for forestry is about 76 million hectares. In 2020 two extremely important regulatory legal documents concerning the forests located on the agricultural land not used in compliance with its intended purpose were adopted – the Russian Federation Government Decree No 1509 of September 21, 2020 (hereinafter – Decree No 1509) and the Russian Federation Government Decree No 1482. The business entities (including the proprietors and forest managers) interested in development of this sector have noted the positive dynamics in the legislation development because of the profound opportunities opened for forests multiplication –– there appeared the opportunities for forest farming and growing the forests on the abandoned agricultural land, setting-up the nursery forests, developing the rural territories, particularly in the Non-Black-Soil zone, all of these can benefit the Russian forests stock, preserve biodiversity and, not the least, improve the overall ecological and climate situation in the country and in the world. By the beginning of 2023, this sector of legal relationships has been significantly amended by the legislators, however it should be noted, that the legal regulation and settlement of many issues in this sector still remain difficult. The aim of the present research is to distinguish the problematic issues in development of the Russian Federation agroforestry legislation and implementation of the Russian Federation Government Decree No 1509 of September 21, 2020.Materials and Methods. In the article, the issue of growing the forests on agricultural land was analysed. The general scientific and specific scientific methods were used in the research. The methodology of the study was based on the dialectical method, as well as on the legalistic, comparative-legal, system-structural kinds of analysis.Results. It was revealed, that the formidable administrative and regulatory barriers have been set forth the agroforestry evolvement and this sector of the legislation development needs serious reassessment. Urgent steps must be taken to identify all the gaps and shortcomings and to rectify the situation.Discussion and Conclusions. The problems caused by adding the numerous amendments to the Decree № 1509, complicating the forests growing on agricultural land, have been revealed. The transit to the intensive management of forests and removal of bureaucratic barriers in development of the agroforestry are deemed necessary.
俄罗斯在农业用地上种林:立法创新及其实施
介绍。长期以来,在废弃农业用地上实行广泛的土地和森林管理没有相应的立法框架来规范森林的生长。由于不使用农业用地而被处以过高的罚款,地主们绝望了,他们一直在焚烧自己土地上的森林,给自己、社会、国家和自然造成了巨大的损害。在俄罗斯,适合林业的废弃农业用地面积约为7600万公顷。2020年通过了两份关于未按预期用途使用的农业用地上的森林的极其重要的规范性法律文件——2020年9月21日第1509号俄罗斯联邦政府法令(以下简称第1509号法令)和第1482号俄罗斯联邦政府法令。对这一领域的发展感兴趣的商业实体(包括所有者和森林管理者)已经注意到立法发展中的积极动态,因为森林繁殖提供了深刻的机会——出现了森林耕作的机会,在废弃的农业用地上种植森林,建立苗圃,发展农村地区,特别是在非黑土区。所有这些都有利于俄罗斯的森林资源,保护生物多样性,最重要的是,改善该国和世界的整体生态和气候状况。到2023年初,立法者对这一领域的法律关系进行了重大修改,但需要注意的是,这一领域的许多问题的法律规制和解决仍然存在困难。本研究的目的是区分俄罗斯联邦农林业立法发展和俄罗斯联邦政府2020年9月21日第1509号法令实施中存在的问题。材料与方法。本文对农用地造林问题进行了分析。研究中采用了一般科学方法和具体科学方法。本研究的方法论以辨证法为基础,以法理学、比较法、系统结构分析法为基础。据透露,在农林业的发展过程中存在着巨大的行政和管理障碍,这方面的立法发展需要认真重新评估。必须采取紧急步骤,查明所有差距和缺点,并纠正这种情况。讨论和结论。由于对第1509号法令进行了大量修订,使农业用地上的森林生长变得复杂,所造成的问题已被揭露。向森林集约化管理过渡和消除农林业发展中的官僚障碍被认为是必要的。
