During the XXth century, intensive agricultural practices has been spread and allowed an important increase of productivity, especially thanks to scientific and technical innovations. Nevertheless, this change had consequences on biodiversity, quality of ecosystems and landscapes by a simplification of wine areas. In addition, sociocultural pressures toward agricultural practices had become stronger and stronger. In response, many mobilizations had begun to emerge, especially in the wine sector. For some years, we observed a real dynamic of the sector at the environmental level with the creation of many approaches which are promoting sustainable wine practices. These certifications are various and come up to consumers' wishes for products which are respectful of environment. They can be carried by productors associations, wine regions, cooperatives, wine companies or public authorities. We have inventoried in 22 countries a total of 54 environmental certifications among which 33 are dedicated to viticulture. We categorize them through: the scale (local, national, international), the area (vine, vine and wine, multi agricultural sector), the subjects treated (environment, economic, social) and the dynamic of the approach (voluntary, compulsory, individual or collective). This article informs and sensitizes the actors of wine sector to the diversity of environmental approaches in the world.

Technological advances due to the rapid flow of globalization, change the pattern of teaching in the world of education. The philosophy of education shows a vertical relationship, up or down with the branches of education. It is hoped that the public can better understand the importance of globalization so that the negative impacts that have an impact can be minimized and it is also hoped that the realization of positive activities towards education will be even better. Education contributing to the success of development in the agricultural sector is not solely determined by development in the technology sector but is determined by the development of the quality of human resources, aspects of human personality, which include knowledge, values, attitudes and skills. The influence of globalization encourages education in the agricultural sector to be increasingly encouraged by stakeholders to always be improved so that the agricultural sector becomes more productive.

With the increase in the world population every year, the need for plant and animal foods has increased. In order to meet these needs, the amount of fertilizers (with chemical content) used to increase productivity in agriculture has increased and has become a threat to the soil and the environment. In order to minimize the harms of chemical fertilizers and to preserve the fertility of the soil, new environmentally friendly applications have been researched. In this context, studies on "Plant Probiotics", which are one of the effective applications both in protecting the quality of the soil and increasing the yield in plant production, especially on local isolates and formulations to be prepared from them, have gained momentum. Plant probiotics are a group of microorganisms or microorganisms that can improve soil health, plant growth, and plant tolerance or immunity to various abiotic and biotic stresses, thanks to their potential role in enhanced nutrient acquisition and/or biocontrol activities by colonizing the root zone of plants, called the rhizosphere. As a result of inoculation of plants with strains of these bacteria, which have very different properties (nitrogen binding, phosphate solubilizing, biocontrol agent, stress resistance, phytohormone synthesis), it directly affects the growth and development of the roots and shoots of the plant, increasing the biomass, as well as contributing to the increase of the yield and quality of the product. In this context, the preparation and use of biofertilizer formulations of local plant probiotic bacteria, which will be obtained from their natural areas, has become very important in rational agricultural practices in recent years and intensive researches are carried out. With the use of the aforementioned plant probiotic formulations, environmentally friendly green production will be made by contributing to the production of both foodstuffs and feed raw materials in order to ensure the continuity of the world population. As a result, the protection of the ecosystem will be ensured by preventing environmental pollution, which is the problem of the whole world.

Recently, there was a struggle to control the volume of production and the volume of production between countries and regions in the world. Rather, western countries had a desire to attract investments in the east to their own countries and regions. This desire has led to the emergence of the Industry 4.0 phenomenon of the West, which is Germany. In other words, with this phenomenon, the industry is aimed to digitize production more and contribute to the issues of speed, efficiency and flexibility by providing digitalization in production. With these changes, Industry 4.0, was seen that the system was working better than it was and production was made cheaper than the system, when taking the muscle strength out of the system. While the positive contributions of Industry 4.0 have resonated with all sectors, it has also started to have an impact on the agricultural sector. Problems such as scarcity in the world, not using natural resources effectively and not using technology in the agricultural field, have caused the emergence of digitalization in the agricultural sector. "Agriculture 4.0", wich means making smart production with smart farming practices by using the concepts, information and technologies in the literature. In line with the possibilities and technological developments offered by Industry 4.0, it enables the sensors to be seen in all agricultural machines from the tractor to the crop tools and the communication of the machines in the entire production process by entering the internet of things into the agricultural sector. As a matter of fact, with the agriculture 4.0, the traditional agriculture paradigm has not been sufficient anymore and it contributes to sustainability, to be productive, to protect the rural texture, to protect the environmental quality and to provide accessible food by undergoing changes and agricultural practices. In the study, the problems experienced in the agricultural sector, the effects of Agriculture 4.0 on these problems and how they will benefit are discussed. The use of technology has given the system its name and agriculture has also taken its share in the developments. Accordingly, what are the practices of Agriculture 4.0 in the world and how their contributions are investigated.

Today's realities place strict demands on society and public authorities to increase the efficiency of state management in the field of national security and defense. One of the ways to improve the quality of management decisions is to involve in the system of public administration additional special organizational and technical complexes - situational centers. Before starting any work, it is advisable to study the experience of leading countries and national developments in this area. The article considers the national experience (in the period from 1962 to the present) on the creation of situational centers (crisis centers, information and analytical centers) and systems of scientific and mathematical support of their activities for the needs of individual enterprises, state executive bodies, legislature, and namely: the automated control system of the enterprise "Lviv", the system of operational display of flights of space objects "Rytm-2", creation of a situation room for the Ministry of Justice of the USSR, the situational center in the operational headquarters for the elimination of the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster, information management system for the eliminate the consequences of the earthquake in Armenia, the situation hall of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (“Rada-1”, “Rada-2”, “Rada-3” systems), the situation center under the President of Ukraine, the situation center of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the information-analytical (situational) center under the Cabinet Ministers of Ukraine, the Main Situational Center of Ukraine and the network of situational centers of central executive authorities. The list of the basic guiding documents of the state concerning construction of the corresponding situational centers, the basic executors of the carried-out works is covered. The main shortcomings in the creation of situational centers of the third class are formed, namely: elaboration of issues of forecasting the emergence of crisis situations and elaboration of options for action to prevent them are at an early stage; organizational-functional (organizational-staff) structures of situational centers are formed, as a rule, by an expert. Proposals for improving the construction of situational centers and the quality of management decisions in the field of national security and defense of Ukraine.

The global economic crisis and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic are shaping strong trends of deterioration in food security around the world. At the same time, it is expected that in the 2020/21 crop year, world grain markets will remain secure despite the reduction in production and stocks in October compared to September. However, there are certain systemic problems in agriculture in Ukraine exacerbated by quarantine measures, especially at the level of small farms. The paper presents some of main problematic aspects in the agricultural sector. The solution of the considered problem aspects lying in the plane of development of innovative approaches of sustainable agriculture integration, introduction of special measures and definition of indicators of efficiency of such measures presented in given paper. This study aims to identify strategic approaches to reducing the gap between knowledge creation and dissemination in the innovative development of the agricultural market through the introduction and dissemination of sustainable agricultural practices. It is shown that in order to ensure competitiveness in the markets of agricultural products, producers need to innovate. The studied examples of successful implementation of innovative projects in the field of agricultural production in the world allowed summarizing the experience and proposing strategic approaches to the development of the domestic agricultural market. The proposed strategic approaches can provide a space for an open dialogue on technologies and ways of commercializing products. The recommendations proposed in this paper are aimed at further research into ways and means of creating horizontal and vertical networks and platforms that provide knowledge dissemination (creation and training), create new markets, resources, and provide political support at various levels of government for interaction with national and international organizations.

This paper points out an extremely delicate urbarchitectonic-environemental drama, with innumerable global complex situations. There seems to be little hope for improvement in the actual living environment where the condition, in the developmental sense of the term, grows less and less sustainable. Very frequent conferences organized at all quarters of the world, with important declarations and recommendation do not manage to curb the increasingly evident crisis. The author points out to the need to create new action conditions in the Balkans and argues for the creation of a singular coordinated, environmental Atlas of the Balkans, an important document, with bases of key data, so that a better quality of life in micro and macro ambience units could be achieved. Therefore, striving for a different, new reality which will not be based on the declarative principles, but on the scientific research and academic education.

The Creation

In 1914, the London brewer Whitbread & Co. claimed it was the “largest beer bottler in the world.” Arguably it was, it having a network of more than forty bottling depots and stores in Britain and Belgium, with a dozen bottles available anywhere in Britain for 2/6. This chapter shows how Whitbread’s market-leading position in the bottled beer segment between 1869 and 1914 was dependent on various factors. The company’s message about the purity and quality of bottled beer remained steadfast throughout the period; it also invested in production and, as the business grew, a system of management. Most significantly, integration into distribution and the creation of the bottling network reduced the risk of adulteration by controlling the product from brewery to retailer, allowed it to be responsive to changes in demand, and reduced costs. Consequently, Whitbread’s beer was consistent in all respects: in purity, quality, availability, and price.

Currently, fruit is one of the most competitive segments of the Brazilian agricultural sector. Fresh fruit and itsderivatives show an upward trend in exports. The sectors potential stems from an increase in consumption in both internal and external markets. The increasing consumption of fruits worldwide is one of the factors that signal favourable opportunities for Brazilian fruit growing. Brazil, which is the third largest fruit producer in the world behind China and India, has been gradually expanding its participation in the world trade of fresh fruits and derivatives (Vilela and Moreira, 2008)25. The region of Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais contains several factory, which prepare fruits produced in the region. Among the currently marketed fruit products, „Ubá? mangos are well accepted by processing plant because of their colour characteristics, flavour and texture and their acceptance by domestic and foreign markets (Ramos et al., 2005)22. The climate throughout much of the Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais is appropriate for the cultivation of mango trees that is it exhibits well-defined dry and rainy seasons. This climate has led to the region becoming an important producing centre for mangos, including organic fruits. During the period of floral differentiation and flowering, the climate exhibits dry, mild temperatures, while during the formation and filling phase of the fruits, the temperatures and precipitationincrease, allowing a satisfactory production of fruits without the need for intensive cultivation.

Research background: The process of globalization brought changes in society that are manifesting themselves in many areas. One of the areas in which the greatest changes occurs is the socio-economic area. The development of society, which is associated with increasing competitiveness, the creation of new job positions, rising wages, and thus the quality of citizens’ life, can be examined through various indicators. The creation of new job positions brings with it changes in the labor market, especially in its opening for the arrival of foreign employees. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is to point out the relationship between the development of society and the migration of the population for work. To this purpose, it is necessary to examine the development of foreigners’ employment in selected regions and the impact of this employment on the development of regional gross domestic product, wages of employees, household expenditure and other indicators. Methods: The development of regional disparities in the context of regional development will be examined through descriptive statistics and other coefficients measuring social disparities, such as the Gini coefficient. Subsequently the dependence between the employment of foreigners and individual indicators can be examined. Findings & Value added: Research findings can be used to support the development of the least developed regions and to increase their competitiveness. The findings can thus be used not only by public authorities (in the case of state support), but also by employers from the private sector (employment policy).
