The spatial organization of the economy of the Russian Federation has been transforming since the 1990s under the influence of changes in the factors of economic location, international trade conditions, and scientific and technological development. The development of rural areas in the country provides, first of all, planning of agricultural land use, which is a systematic assessment of the potential of land and analysis of alternatives to determine the most optimal option for their use, improve socio-economic conditions in a particular area, depending on the spatial scale. Planning for the use of land resources, on an appropriate regional scale, should contribute to increasing land productivity, sustainable agriculture and meeting the needs of society. The agricultural land use planning toolkit should include the results of a land assessment that considers the biophysical and socio-economic parameters of the state of the land use system and a sustainable production process in which all stakeholders of the land market participate. The most important priority for the development of rural areas in the subjects of the Central Black Earth economic region of Russia will be the approximation of economic indicators of socio-economic development of agricultural land use to the average level of European countries. The main rule for the successful achievement of this level is an objective reflection of the patterns of processes and phenomena occurring in agricultural land use.
