Abstract :

Agro landscape study has quite a long history in Georgia, as natural-resource potential of the country and agro-resource potential, in particular, greatly depends on it. Scientific research was carried out aiming at implementing the program of desiccation the high humidity and swamp soils of Kolkheti and their agricultural utilization. The group of geographers and the authors of the article among them took active part in it. Finally it was agreed, that apart from the traditional industries (citrus, maize, tea and tobacco industries), it is quite possible to develop seaside resort industry as well, that will completely provide the tourist demand on agricultural products. In order to implement this program, it�s necessary to find out the factor that limits the cultivation of agricultural cultures, determines the quantity and quality of the yield. Territorial planning should be based not only on climatic indices, but on the agro landscape potential in general by selecting the optimal variant of spatial organization
