Digital method for continuous express survey of unused agricultural lands

An automated approach to surveying unused agricultural land based on digital technologies is proposed. The approach includes the use of a mobile application for field surveys and a spreadsheet tool to automate the assessment of the economic feasibility of bringing a large number of unused land parcels into agricultural use. The developed solution significantly improves the efficiency of land suitability assessment by reducing the volume of manual operations, automating key stages of data collection and analysis, and standardizing survey procedures and data processing. The application of the proposed approach results in a 2.3-fold reduction in survey time and labor costs for land management specialists compared to traditional methods. This effect is critically important when surveying hundreds of thousands of land parcels within programs aimed at bringing unused agricultural land into productive use, where labor intensity and staffing costs represent major constraints. The proposed methodology is highly scalable and can be applied in regional and federal programs and projects focused on the reintegration of unused agricultural land, ensuring cost reduction and improved timeliness of management decision-making.
