The calculated indicators of land supply, presented in the paper, confirm the tendency to consolidation of farms; actualization of the problems of establishment of new farms by restriction of lands and still not organized turnover of agricultural lands; forcing out of the system of landholding and land use. It is defined that family farming eventually demonstrates better indicators of efficiency of land use and ecological load on land (a lower level of plowing). The research characterizes legitimation of agricultural land turnover in favor of development of family-farming model of agriculture, protection of village communities, multi-functional development of rural territories, food self-sufficiency of the state and environmental protection. The work proposes to provide free land parcels, which are determined by the audit, to the people, who wish to start or expand their family farming not by means of an auction, but by immediate obtaining of land according to the resolution of local authorities on the base of land contests.
