Efficient use of agricultural land resources is a key factor in ensuring food security, sustainable rural development, and economic stability under conditions of climate change and limited natural resources. This study examines scientific and methodological approaches to optimizing farm land parcels and improving the efficiency of agricultural cropland use. The research applies geospatial analysis, statistical evaluation, and GIS-based land suitability assessment to identify inefficiencies in land use patterns. The results demonstrate that land parcel optimization based on agro-ecological and economic criteria increases crop productivity by 10–18% while reducing water and input costs. The proposed approach provides a practical framework for sustainable land management at the farm level.
