BASIC PRINCIPLES OF LAND RELATIONS DEVELOPMENT IN THE DIRECTION OF ECOLOGIZATION OF AGRICULTURAL LAND USE
The theoretical aspects of land relations organization and the issues of land use are discussed; on that basis an attempt is made to substantiate and to expand the social principles of land relations development in the direction of agricultural land use ecologization. The author classified and substantiated 20 social principles of the development of land relations in agriculture of the country. It is pointed out that the land use of an agricultural enterprise is diverse due to land tenure relations, but that should not destabilize the agricultural production. According to the author, efficient management of land relations in agriculture may be conducted under the following fundamental conditions: the processes of land tenure and land use should be regulated by the state at all stages of their implementation; the methods of land relations regulation should be scientifically substantiated to ensure rational, efficient and environmentally sound use of all land resources; state and municipal ownership of agricultural land should remain dominant, as the lands under Federal ownership determine the key issues of land use in terms of food security and state sovereignty; the mechanisms of land tenure and land use should be developed taking into account the existing natural, climatic and geographical features of the region involved and the existing social-economic and environmental conditions of production.
