Abstract

Abstract In the article, the authors consider the current state and a number of measures aimed at solving the problems of land reclamation of agricultural lands in Samara Oblast. A feature of the implementation of the land reclamation program on a regional scale is the use of the program-targeted method and issues of state stimulation of its development, as well as the possibility of attracting extrabudgetary funds for the implementation of investment projects. Such a program is ultimately aimed at increasing the volume of crop and livestock production, as well as preserving existing and creating new jobs. In the article, the authors assess the objectives, tactical indicators, resource support and the course of implementation of state programs for land reclamation support in Samara Oblast. The authors note that during the study period in Samara Region, modernization of existing reclamation systems was carried out, new irrigation systems were built, and previously abandoned agricultural land was restored. As part of targeted funding, the state provides grants for the development of design estimates for the implementation of investment projects in the field of land reclamation. The authors believe that, in general, the progress of the implementation of the state program of land reclamation should be considered very effective.
