Abstract

— The article analyzes the methodological and practical problems of assessing the effectiveness of agricultural land use. The model used is the integration of the method of assessing the damage from inefficient soil cultivation into the algorithm for assessing the economic efficiency of soil restoration through investment and diversification of agricultural activities. Damage was assessed taking into account the economic loss of soil fertility, and economic efficiency, by comparing the cost estimate of “action/inaction” on degraded lands, taking into account discounted future income. The model has been tested at three levels: Kaliningrad oblast, Ozersky district, and one of the farms of this municipality, where typical soil depletion processes characteristic of the region are presented. Calculations have shown that the transition to a reference farm with higher revenues and profitability is economically justified over a nine-year forecast period only at the level of the district and farm. The restoration of all degraded lands in the Kaliningrad oblast will not pay off. Recommendations for the agrarian policy of the region have been developed, taking into account additional measures to restore soil fertility while maintaining the profitability of agricultural organizations or withdrawing unproductive lands from circulation.
