In recent decades, the intensification of multiple forms of soil degradation has been recorded, especially that through erosion due to inappropriate intensive exploitations. The purpose of the research is to examine the condition of the agricultural lands in the Nisporeni district and what is the weight of their exploitation, by proposing measures to remedy them. Nisporeni district is located in the central part of Moldova, in the wooded area. Nisporeni district is a component of the „Siret-Prut-Nistru” Euroregion. The geographical position favors access, communications and trade of the district at the border with the European Union. In the structure of agricultural holdings, the lowest share of multi-year plantations is in Frontier and in the North-West. Over 50% of the district's land fund is concentrated in the Nisporeni and Nord-Est microzones, which also own over 46% of agricultural land and approx. 60% of the forest fund. The cost of washed soil is about 1.85 billion lei, and the cost of agricultural production losses - about 0.873 billion lei. Thus, the direct and indirect damage caused by erosion is 2.723 billion lei.
