Monitoring of rational use of the agricultural land: A case study of the Akmola region for 2018-2020 years period

Abstract

The use of Remote Sensing methods and GIS technology which allow determining the dynamics and features of the rational use of agricultural land is competent. Up to now, there is no complete understanding of the assessment of the current state of unused agricultural land. It is important to monitor the effective use of arable land by farmers, which means timely sowing and rest of the soil. The degree of the rational use and non-use of agricultural land in the case of the Akmola region based on remote sensing data and satellite observations using GIS technology was determined and analyzed. Using the tool “Zonal Statistics”, the maximum, minimum, and average NDVI values of each field were calculated. The rich agricultural potential of the Egindykol region has a great ability to ensure the food security of the Republic of Kazakhstan, constantly improving the rational use of agricultural land.
