The article examines the degradation of agricultural lands in the new territories of the Russian Federation as an interdisciplinary problem located at the intersection of land law, environmental regulation and landscape architecture. The author proposes an integrated model of restoration based on legal qualification of non-use, cadastral inventory, reclamation, conservation, agroforestry, erosion control and adaptive landscape planning. The study emphasizes the importance of Government Decree No. 1482 of September 18, 2020, as amended on March 7, 2026, and Government Decree No. 781 of May 29, 2025. The conclusion is made that sustainable restoration of agricultural lands requires not only enforcement measures, but also a project-based landscape framework for long-term soil fertility and ecological stability.
