Abstract: The relevance of the research is due to the fact that the increase in the efficiency of farming has been declared the priority direction of the economic policy of our country at the state and regional level, which is fixed in the relevant legislative acts determining the development of the agricultural sector in the near future. Creating conditions for sustainable development of traditional agricultural landscapes, ensuring environmental management is one of the main tasks of these documents. To solve them, resource-saving technologies are recommended, which include measures for the forest reclamation of arable land - generally accepted, both in our country and abroad, a highly effective means of promoting sustainable land use of agricultural enterprises, ensuring their successful adaptation to natural anomalies. In the Volgograd Region, as a result of periodic manifestations of wind erosion and dust storms, tons of fertile arable lands are lost, crops and crops are destroyed, and agricultural production is destabilized. The article reveals the role of forest reclamation in preventing these processes and ensuring the sustainable development of the local aerosphere. For comparison, a detailed analysis of its effectiveness is proposed for various types of placement of forest melioration plantations in the agro landscape with a high risk of wind erosion - a typical version of their creation and optimum, which provides for sustainable land use. Estimation of costs and benefits showed that, first of all, they depend on the quality of soil and climatic conditions, the way of creating forest cultures, the protective forest cover of fields. The conducted studies allow to draw a conclusion about the feasibility of ameliorative arrangement of arable lands of the Volgograd region and are sufficient grounds to stimulate an increase in protective forest cover in the region and to receive funds from the federal budget to create forest belts in problem areas. For reliable preservation and improvement of land fund of the country by means of a forest melioration according to the Strategy of sustainable development of rural territories until 2030 it is expedient to increase design woodiness of problem agro landscapes not less, than twice.
