Lebedeva* and Ekaterina V. Bulankina Samara State Agrarian University, Kinel 446442, Russia Abstract. The article considers the role of land reclamation in the development of modern Russian agriculture, defines its role in the development of the domestic land reclamation industry of state regulation. The implementation of the state policy for the maintenance and development of the reclamation industry in the Samara region from 2015 to the present is analyzed. The preliminary results of its implementation are summarized. The material, technical and regulatory framework for the further development of land reclamation in the region is determined. 1 Introduction the state plays a leading role in shaping the optimal development mode for the modern Under the conditions of climate change, land reclamation system, which is of great which in recent years has been manifested importance for the growth of agricultural by frequent droughts or floods, land production and the formation of food reclamation is considered as the best way security. to ensure the sustainability of agricultural The problem of state regulation of the production. Currently, irrigated lands land reclamation complex development in account for 40 % of world food production, Russia has recently been increasingly including 60 % of grain production. For reflected in the scientific literature. Experts Russia, where 80 % of arable land is subject in the field of land reclamation study the to arid phenomena, and about 20 % to current state and prospects of the land excessive moisture, the value of land reclamation industry development in the reclamation is difficult to overestimate [1]. country and individual regions [1–4].
