Abstract: This article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of agricultural land monitoring using geoinformation systems and remote sensing technologies. The study analyzes the role of GIS-based tools in assessing the current condition, structure, and efficiency of agricultural land use, with particular emphasis on the integration of cartographic, spatial, digital, and visual data. Real-time monitoring methods based on satellite imagery and unmanned aerial vehicle technologies are considered as effective instruments for the operational collection and processing of large-scale geospatial information. The research evaluates the effectiveness of GIS applications in resource management, including the vectorization of land plots, identification of cultivated areas, detection of overgrown and degraded lands, and assessment of land cover dynamics. Special attention is given to the development of recommendations for rational land use, transition to precision and organic agriculture systems, and improvement of decision-making processes in agro-industrial management. The results demonstrate that the implementation of geoinformation technologies significantly enhances the accuracy, efficiency, and sustainability of agricultural land monitoring and management.
