The necessity of studying the current condition of agro-landscapes of Middle Transnistria in the context of the strategy of sustainable development of rural territorial communities of the region has been analysed. After all, ecologically safe use of agroecosystems of any region should become one of the necessary conditions for ecologically balanced development of its agrosphere. The authors note that the current condition of agro-landscapes has been characterized by significant diversity and complex landscape-typological structure. The differences of agro-landscapes in economic use have been presented, which led to the allocation of such subclasses: field, meadow-pasture, garden. The authors used different approaches and methods to study the modern agricultural landscapes of Middle Transnistria. The most significant were general scientific and specific scientific approaches. Among them the following were used: traditional or classical (comparative, historical, genetic, evolutionary) and specific (constructive, socio-economic, systemic, ecological, landscape-typological, informational, sociological) research approaches. Among the research methods most used: systemic, genetic, cartographic, morphometric, predictive and comparative. It has been established that the economic use of different subclasses of agrolandscapes of the region depends on the climatic, hydrological, orographic, edaphic and landscape-ecological conditions of the region.

The characteristics of garden landscapes have been determined, which are located mainly on steep slopes, leveled terraces of river valleys, territories of former field landscapes. Location on the appropriate types of areas, species composition of plantations and specific agronomic regime, determine the formation of these unique garden landscapes. Here certain favorable microclimatic conditions, plant and animal   groups   which   are  inherent  in specific garden landscape complexes are created. Among  them  are  unique  palmette  orchards and those within which there are rare and adapted to the natural conditions of the region varieties of fruit trees.

The uniqueness of the garden landscapes of Middle Transnistria is considered on the example of a natural area near the village. Dmytrashkivka, Vinnytsia region, where valuable plots of palm gardens are located. A set of measures proposed to promote the rational use of agricultural landscapes of Middle Transnistria in the context of implementing strategies for sustainable development of the region
