The paper presents a modern, precise and fast method of lifting land areas affected by deep soil erosion, from an agritourism farm, by using land scanning technology. The method allows to take as much information as possible about the object to be scanned, and based on the records made is obtained the so-called "point cloud", which is a collection of points, defined as position by the coordinates X, Y, Z in a common reference system, which reveals to the observer information on the shape, position, and spatial distribution of an object or group of objects. From the point cloud with the help of the specialized program, based on the coordinates you can easily and accurately calculate the size and shape of land areas affected by erosion, thus creating a complex database of land that may be affected by this phenomenon. Also, from the database obtained, thematic maps can be created that can be used in other works on agricultural farms, in order to practice a modern agriculture such as precision agriculture, which would effectively contribute to soil conservation and protection, so to practicing sustainable agriculture.
