Abstract

The article deals with an algorithm for identifying unused agricultural lands for their involvement in economic turnover. The research objects are the Yaroslavl region and the Smolensk region of the Russian Federation, where the share of unused agricultural land makes from 12 to 50 %. The article presents the methods of land inventory aimed at finding out the reasons for land withdrawal from active economic turnover, evaluating cultural and technical condition of land and giving recommendations for the introduction of land into agricultural turnover. The methods of estimating capital costs for involving land in active economic turnover have been suggested.
