Plowed land and agricultural land; level of use of agricultural
lands (specific gravity of sown areas in arable land, share of irrigated
and drained lands in the area of agricultural lands, share of fertilized
areas, share of crop area of intensive crops in the total area of crops);
the presence of industrial toxic waste per km

Equilibrium
Introduction of organic and mineral fertilizers; the inflow of
pollutants into land resources, into the atmosphere, in surface waters
and per unit of GDP; sewage without purification; compliance of
soils with hygienic norms; forestry; inoculation of highly degraded
and contaminated with harmful substances of arable land;
construction of anti-erosion hydrotechnical structures; creation of
field-protective forests

Total index of agricultural production costs; the share of
agriculture in the total gross value added; investments in capital of
agriculture and specific investments; provision of energy facilities of

Gross agricultural output per 100 hectares of agricultural land;
productivity of main agricultural crops; profitability level of
