Abstract: Problems of land resources using at the regional level are investigated in the Voronezh region. In the process of investigation it was found that in the studied region the degree of agricultural management and ploughness of the tilled areas is slightly lower than in other oblasts of the Central Chernozem Region, but higher than the average level for the Central Federal District. During the years of reforms in Voronezh Oblast there was a reduction in the area of agricultural lands, including arable lands, due not only to the weakening of state regulation of land relations, but also the dynamism of institutional reforms, as well as due to the uncertainty of the status of land shares of many owners. There were changes in the structure of sown areas in the region: reduction of acreage of grain crops, sugar beet and especially forage crops, significant increase in crops of sunflower and soy. Despite the revealed decrease in the content of humus, labile phosphorus, and exchangeable potassium in the arable lands of the region, from 1990 to 2017 the level of productivity of cereal and leguminous crops increased by 1.5 times, and the level of productivity of sugar beet, sunflower, potatoes and vegetables increased by more than 2 times. On the basis of the carried-out analysis of functioning of the mechanism of regulation of land resources both positive and negative trends of their use were defined.
