Optimization of the agricultural land structureas the basis of sustainable development of rural areas

Abstract

The modern structure of agricultural lands, formed in the conditions of a radical reformation of land relations in rural areas, is analyzed. It is revealed that this structure in agricultural enterprises of different forms of ownership does not meet the principles of rational use of nature due to the excessive share of arable land and low -environmentally sustainable land. At the same time, the share of the arable land in the structure of agricultural land in the non-state agricultural enterprises is 11-12% higher than in the state-owned, which is explained by the efforts of private entrepreneurstenants aimed at increasing agricultural production by expanding the area of arable land. The extremely high level of plowing of agricultural land is a consequence ofthe extensive use of land resources and the main reason for the spread of degradation processes. The only solution to this problem is the development of land management projects that provide ecological and economic justification for crop rotation and land management.

Sustainable Development of Rural Areas in Kazakhstan at the Present Stage

“…According to economic theory, it is believed that a favorable result from the point of view of regulating the sustainable development of the economy can be achieved with a reasonable combination of state intervention in the economy and autonomous regulation of producers within the framework of sustainable development of markets. At the same time, agriculture and the food market are not self-regulating systems due to various features and they include: the main means of production -land, insufficient infrastructure development, slow scientific and technological progress and innovation, dependence on natural and climatic conditions, conservatism and inelasticity, as well as low profitability and price disparity (Soltangazinov A et al, 2023;Dorosh et al, 2019) Currently, it is extremely important to identify the following areas of public administration for sustainable rural development:…”

Rural area sustainable development strategies on the basis of a cluster approach

“…It should be noted that rural areas turned out to be highly sensitive to the effects and challenges of the external environment; they have low protective abilities to meet the ongoing crisis and phenomena against the background of turbulence in the development of the global economy and outbreaks of global pandemics such as the coronavirus pandemic. The theoretical and methodological background of fundamental issues related to sustainable development of rural areas shows that the interest of the scientific community in these issues is growing (Bartkowiak, 2017; Bolshakova et al, 2019; Dorosh et al, 2019; Kurdys‐Kujawska & Sompolska‐Rzechula, 2020).…”
