The article presents the results of agro-landscape and ecological zoning of the East Siberian natural and economic region. Zoning was performed at the Federal Williams Research Center of Forage Production & Agroecology on the basis of the methodology developed by the authors. The East Siberian natural and economic region includes the republics of Buryatia, Tyva, Khakassia, Zabaykalsky and Krasnoyarsk territories, and Irkutsk region. The total area of the territory of Eastern Siberia is 415504.2 thousand hectares. Agricultural land occupies about 6% of the area of the East Siberian natural and economic district, of which 2% is arable land, 4% is hay and pasture. On the territory of Eastern Siberia, which occupies about a quarter of the territory of Russia, there are 10 lowland zones and subzones (Arctic, Arctic Tundra, Tundra and Forest Tundra, North Taiga, Middle Taiga, South Taiga, Larch Forest, Forest-Steppe, Steppe and Dry-Steppe) and Mountain territories. There are 22 lowland and 12 mountain provinces, 49 lowland and 42 mountain districts within the zones. Agro-landscapes of Eastern Siberia are formed mainly in the South of the region in Forest-Steppe and Leaf-Forest, Steppe and Dry-Steppe zones, which are developed in agriculture. There are the main areas of agriculture.
