An adapted methodology for assessing Land Degradation Neutrality is proposed. It is shown that the factor of overgrowth of agricultural lands and settlements should be assessed as a sign of degradation. The ways of adjusting the calculation of indicators of land quality are considered. According to the updated data, the area of degraded lands of the Tver region for the period 2001-2017 increased by 4% and is 5.1%.
