This article analyzes the issue of increasing the efficiency of land resource use through a synergistic approach. A methodology developed on the basis of an indicator system for assessing synergistic efficiency is presented, which allows taking into account economic, environmental and social indicators of land resources. As a result of practical analyses conducted in the Kashkadarya region, the interrelationships of indicators and their synergistic effect are determined. This system is an important tool for making strategic decisions in sustainable land resource management. Keywords: Land resources, indicator assessment, synergistic efficiency, integrated approach, sustainable management, multi-criteria analysis, Kashkadarya region. Introduction: Land resources are considered one of the strategic factors in the economic, ecological and social life of mankind. Especially in countries with an agrarian economy, the effective use of land resources plays an important role in ensuring the country's food security, increasing employment and achieving regional development. While traditional approaches are usually aimed at assessing the economic efficiency of land area through separate indicators, based on today's requirements, there is a need to assess it based on multi-factor, interrelated indicators through a synergistic approach. Understanding the synergistic efficiency of land resources is not only a joint analysis of the productivity obtained from the land area, but also the level of ecological sustainability, social benefits and technological coverage of this area. That is, the basis of this approach is to determine the high level of benefit resulting from their mutual harmony and joint effect, rather than the sum of individual indicators. In this article, an indicator assessment system is developed for increasing the efficiency of land resource use using the example of the Kashkadarya region. The methodology aims to identify synergistic outcomes through the integration of economic, environmental, and social indicators. The results will serve to formulate scientifically sound approaches to integrated land resource management and planning. Literature review: In recent years, indicator systems have been widely used to assess the efficiency of land resources. In international practice, the indicator 46 ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN MODERN SCIENCE International scientific-online conference system developed by FAO, OECD, and UNEP allows for a joint assessment of the environmental and economic aspects of land resource use. For example, the “Land Resource Efficiency Framework” model recommended by FAO (2020) aims to assess indicators such as water consumption, soil degradation, and CO₂ emissions in addition to land productivity. In modern approaches, the interaction between indicators — synergistic relationships — is of great importance. In particular, the indicator assessment models proposed by D. Bosselman (2019) and R. McKinney (2021) identify the interaction of various factors and analyze the possibility of achieving complex efficiency. This approach is especially relevant for the agricultural sector, helping to identify the multi-purpose use of land. Although there are a number of studies on the economic efficiency of land resources in Uzbekistan, an indicator assessment system based on a synergistic approach has not yet been sufficiently developed. In particular, A. Kholmirzayev (2022) analyzed agro-economic indicators in assessing land fertility, while M. Turdiyev (2023) developed an approach that takes into account environmental safety. However, multi-criteria, mutually integrated and synergistic assessment systems are not sufficiently used in practice. In this regard, the indicator assessment system proposed in this study creates the opportunity to comprehensively analyze the efficiency of land resource use not only by individual indicators, but also by taking into account their synergistic effect. This serves as an important scientific and practical basis for formulating sustainable development strategies. Research methodology: In this study, an indicator assessment system was developed based on a synergistic approach to increasing the efficiency of land resource use. The object of the study was selected as the activities of dehkan farms and farmers in districts with high agricultural potential of the Kashkadarya region. The main goal was to assess the efficiency of land resource use through complex indicators and determine a synergistic index based on their interaction. At the first stage, the selection of indicators was carried out. The indicators were divided into three main areas: • Economic indicators: land fertility (sum/ha), gross product volume, level of profitability. • Environmental indicators: soil degradation rate, water consumption (m³/ha), agrochemical use rate. • Social indicators: land ownership rate, labor force employment, local income growth dynamics. At the second stage, empirical data on all ind
