Enkina Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, 49 Timiryazevskaya St., Moscow, 127434, Russian Federation Journal Article 2026 08 01 This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics and condition of Russia's land resources in the context of the functioning of agri-food systems for the period 2019–2024. The relevance of the study is determined by the key role of land resources in ensuring the country's food security against the backdrop of increasing anthropogenic impacts and climate risks. Based on statistical and structural analysis of the data, the following key trends were identified: increasing land use intensity, expressed in an increase in the application of mineral fertilizers (from 2.7 to 3.5 million tons) and expanding the scope of chemical reclamation, while the problems of anthropogenic soil disturbance persist. Particular attention is paid to the processes of reclamation and degradation of agricultural land. The author emphasizes the dual nature of the influence of agri-food systems: stimulating productivity is accompanied by the risks of qualitative soil depletion and dependence on chemical and technological inputs. A conclusion is drawn regarding the need for a transition to a restorative land use model to ensure long-term food sustainability, including improved monitoring of degradation processes and the development of a reclamation complex. https://cjes.guilan.ac.ir/article_9803_8b439b3a6811e446eb9b570704c540b2.pdf
