Summary/Abstract: The decline in agricultural land is now more evident than in the previous decades, and soil is becoming a valuable natural resource. Farmland often abandons construction activities, leading to the degradation of land resources in the Czech Republic. Foreign direct investment also affects the decline in agricultural land. The value of foreign direct investment has been growing in recent years, where the value of these investments in 2017 was over CZK 3.3 billion. The aim of this paper is to determine the impact of foreign direct investment on the loss of agricultural land in the Czech Republic. To determine the correlation between these variables, a correlation analysis was performed, where the results point to a strong, statistically significant correlation of the monitored indicators. It is important to point out the fact that other factors also influence the decline of agricultural land, especially the transfer to another land area, which is primarily intended for the development of development projects, construction of motorways and other activities that affect the loss of agricultural land, where such land grabbing may also be part of foreign direct investment in agricultural land.
