The article presents ecological and economic zoning of the territory of the Republic of Belarus for the purposes of land use planning by the method of average differences, taking into account the factors which influence the efficiency of agricultural lands usage. It was proposed to divide the territory of the Republic into ecological and economic zones (areas) for the development of organizational and territorial bases for increasing the efficiency of agricultural land use, as well as for the realization of intrafarm land use planning and control of agricultural organisations taking into account natural and climatic conditions, ecological conditions, displacement of population, territorial and other peculiar features. For the allocation of ecological and economic zones it was efficient to realize evaluation of administrative areas of the Republic. Finally, there were chosen three uniform ecological-economic zones: the northern, central and the southern, and in each of these zones – the western and eastern subzones. There were shown the main characteristics, which reflect the peculiarities of the selected zones.
