Н. В. Арзамасцева The effective reclamation of unused agricultural land is regarded as a key component of national food security and the implementation of State Programme No. 731, which mandates the recultivation of 13 million hectares of unused agricultural land by 2030. The State Programme aims to incentivize agricultural producers to bring fallow agricultural land back into productive use. The study demonstrates that the current economic measures, legal approaches, and modernization of federal and regional information systems on agricultural land remain largely ineffective. From January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2024, the area of unused agricultural land decreased by only 3%. Over this period, 1.06 million hectares of fallow agricultural land were brought back into production. It is therefore necessary to improve the existing measures and approaches for reclaiming unused land in order to meet Russia’s food security targets. The study examines peasant (farm) enterprises as land users, for which an information system has been developed. When making decisions on the reclamation of unused agricultural land, farmers consider not only expected profitability but also the condition of the land, the environmental situation of the territory, and the level of socio-economic infrastructure development. Farmers can currently obtain such information from several disparate information systems, which are presented in tabular form and do not allow for comparative analysis or ranking of selected territories for a comprehensive assessment of location choices for both residence and production activities. A well-informed selection of a locality by farmers, taking into account economic, environmental, and social factors, is likely to reduce the probability of subsequent land abandonment.
