Development of Land Surveying Science and Education as Factors of Reliable Provision of the Country’s Food Security

The research analyzes the state institutional component of contemporary agricultural and land relations. Based on the analysis results, the research reveals several problems that emerged during this period: unclaimed land shares, cessation of cultivation of previously developed agricultural lands, and concentration of agricultural lands in large agricultural farms. The prolonged effects of these processes are still underestimated. The authors point out that proper land management is a prerequisite for successfully resolving these problems. Considering the history of domestic land use planning and the factors affecting it, the key factors at this stage of land management in Russia are its proper legal support and the improvement of relevant education and objective processes in the system of agricultural land use. Digitalization is universal, affecting land management, education, and all other sectors. Taking these factors into account will make it possible to realize the land potential more effectively and reliably to ensure the country’s food security.
