Abstract.The article analyzes the environmental problems of agriculture in developing countries based on the study of scientific publications in recent years. The following problems, which are relevant for a number of regions, are considered: methods of biowaste utilization to obtain a useful product (Brazil); choice between organic farming and conventional farming with chemicals (India); local land access policies through uneven trajectories of landscape change and transformation (Indonesia); problems of land squatting and redistribution of water resources (Ghana). These complex aspects of agricultural land use and ecology are not necessarily of local importance, but are periodically found in more developed countries, including Russia.
