Abstract: The research is aimed at studying the impact of the state and use of agricultural land on ensuring food security in the region through balanced and sustainable development of agricultural production while maintaining and increasing soil fertility of agricultural lands. The main attention is paid to the study of approaches to the typologization of the territory depending on natural, climatic and territorial features. As a result of the study, a mapping method was used, which allowed us to identify the relationship between unfavorable territories for agricultural production and unused agricultural lands, the food balance, and the number of agricultural organizations. Based on the above, the author's approach to classifying regions according to the level of food balance was proposed, which included eight types of regions. The classification is based on such parameters as the food balance, the level of production, the share of exports and imports. The results of the study showed that the donor regions have a positive food balance, are leaders in the production of agricultural products, carry out interregional exchange at the expense of their own surpluses and insignificant import attraction. Self-sufficient regions with a positive food balance, meet their needs through their own production and do not carry out interregional exchange. Recipient regions have a negative food balance, can be leaders in production and carry out interregional exchange by attracting imports. Within the framework of this study, the proposed approach allows us to visualize real and hypothetical changes in indicators in three main areas: production, distribution and consumption, as well as to identify producing regions in the country – donor regions and consuming regions of increased attention - recipient regions. As a result, the characteristic of regions by type of food balance formed the basis for the general classification of regions depending on natural and climatic features. Thus, seven classes were identified: megacities, regions located in the zone of influence of megacities, urbanized regions, regions with a high proportion of rural population, northern regions, mountainous regions, arid regions.
