The authors present a methodology for calculating the integral index which is based on a system of quantitative indicators reflecting the use of agricultural land and efficiency of agricultural production. Using these methodologies, the authors conducted a comprehensive evaluation of sustainable land use in the regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The results of the study allow the authors to conclude that the arable areas are used inefficiently.
