As a result of the land reform, a new land system was formed, which gave rise to new phenomena in the land use system in the conditions of the market economy. The most important new problems of modern land use include the elimination of significant arable land areas from agricultural circulation. The paper proposes a comprehensive consideration of the possible involvement of these unused lands. It is based on taking into account natural and assessing the suitability of arable land usage in certain natural climatic conditions. The market economy requires arable land to ensure the efficiency of crop production. Actually usable land resources can provide sustainable or unsustainable efficiency. Sustainable inefficiency indicates the unsuitability of individual arable sites for efficient crop production. The natural and economic land potential can be used sufficiently effectively only if there are sufficient conditions to ensure production by labor, technical means, basic means of production, financial resources. Involvement of unused land is solved only as a complex problem. This is the correct and balanced approach and implementation of State programs in the field of land use that ensures food security.
