The quality and quantity of agricultural production depend on the fertility of the soil type on which it is grown. Soil fertility is the result of the interaction of multiple mutually merged factors. Loss of soil fertility leads to soil degradation. Subsequently, it gradually becomes unfit for farming activity. Controlling the maintenance and enhancement of soil fertility is the guarantor of sustainable yields and population satisfaction with food resources, protecting land from degradation, and preserving biodiversity of ecosystems. The report examines the opportunities for restoration of the soil fertility of the agricultural lands of the Yambol Agro region. The aim is to analyze and propose for practice the most suitable methods of organic farming, with the application of which to preserve and improve the fertility of soils from the agricultural fund of the region. The proposed options are in line with the requirements of the European Union and the elements of the Common Agricultural Policy for Conservation of Soil Fertility. As a result of analysis and studies found that the preservation and maintenance of soil fertility in agricultural land in Yambol agroregion is recognized and priority policy of the departments of Agriculture and farmers. From soil fertility conservation methods, organic farmers in Yambol Agro region apply a comprehensive approach, focusing primarily on bio-fertilization, crop rotation and sequential soil treatment systems.

The contribution presents the modelling solution of the potential scenarios impact of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union after 2013 in the selected sectors of the Slovak Republic national economy. The solution is accomplished using the Computable General Equilibrium model with the emphasis on the productive and less favourable agricultural areas and the theoretical rents for agricultural land. If we take into consideration both pillars of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union, according to the modelling calculations in Slovak conditions the most favoured is the Conservative scenario, the Reference and the Flat Rate scenario are neutral and the least favourable is the Liberalisation scenario.

Major Factors

Bulgarian organic agriculture is developing rapidly ever since the accession of the country to the European Union. The major factors affecting its growth are the accumulated professional experience in the sector as well as the social support available through the Common agricultural policy funds. The organic production as part of Bulgarian agriculture has been developing even faster than the average for the sector. In the latest years, the sector has reached its limits and the question about its sustainability must be further researched. The goal of this study is to analyze the sustainability of Bulgarian organic agriculture and its impact on the development of the sector overall. In order to achieve its goal, the study must focus on a few important topics: to analyze the base for the development of organic agriculture in the country; to study the productive capacity of Bulgarian organic agriculture and its development; to draw conclusions and offer development policies focused on sustainability.

After joining the European Union (EU) in 1995 Austria adopted the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). This chapter reviews the changes in agricultural production and the economic situation of agriculture since the accession to the EU. The analysis is primarily based on macro-economic data from the Economic Accounts for Agriculture (EAA) over the period between 1995 and 2014. Select examples identify the developments applicable for Austria – also in comparison to other EU countries and groups of countries as well as to Switzerland. Expectations and forecasts regarding the consequences of integration, e.g. changes in the price levels, have been more or less fulfilled but there is a need for further research on the development of regions and on special issues such as the resilience of Austrian agriculture.

Abstract The Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union is reflected in the development of agricultural production in Slovakia. The development of livestock production faced significant changes reflected in its overall decrease. The decrease in the level of agricultural production in Slovakia between 2002 and 2010 is shown by several indicators assessed in this paper. Its main aim is to highlight differences in Slovak agriculture at the level of LAU I, which are districts of Slovakia, according to the selected indicators of agricultural production between 2002 and 2010. We analyse the development of regional differences in Slovak agriculture that have widened under the influence of the EU Common Agricultural Policy. The development of selected indicators of agricultural production was analysed using the change index, which best represents differences in the development of agriculture in the Slovak regions.

The thesis analyzes the development of agricultural policy and agriculture in Slovenia in the period from 1992 to 2002. The analysis is based on the classification of agricultural policy and its measures, standard indicators used for analysis of development of agricultural policy and agriculture, and specific methods for evaluating the efficiency of agricultural policy (evaluation methods, simulation methods). The results show that the transition in Slovenia caused no marked shocks for agricultural production. The development goals for agriculture were set forth early (in 1992) and were modeled on the EU standards, and they remained unchanged throughout the transition. A protectionist development concept of agricultural policy was adopted, which assured a relatively high level of support to agriculture. Under this concept, the agricultural policy was substantially reoriented during the transition, but this happened gradually and was reflected above all in the re-instrumentation of policy and changes of the structure of support to agriculture. Agricultural policy was relatively successful. It managed to achieve most of the strategic development goals of agriculture and a high degree of compatibility with the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

Accession of Poland to the European Union (EU) has been connected with anumber of benefits, but at the same time, the obligations have been imposed on theagricultural producers. Farmers are active economic units, that operate on thecommon european market, as well as they are beneficiaries of governmentalsupport. Governmental programmes allowed to take part in measures directed toagricultural farms development. Farmers have been obliged to comply withEuropean law and implementation of the desired production standards.Bothregulations and governmental programs have determined the direction ofagricultural holdings development. Especially in the last decade, organic farmsmake demanded and fast-growing form of environmental friendly agriculture.Organic methods use of agricultural production in accordance with soil, plants andanimals requirements, taking care of the other environmental components. Organicfarms fit in with the concept of sustainable development. According to this, organicproduction should at least not affect the ecosystems` sustainability and meet theeconomic purposes. The purpose of the article is evaluation of organic farmseconomics in Poland, taking into consideration influence of the CommonAgricultural Policy (CAP). There were analysed production and economiccondition of organic farms in comparison to all Farm Accountancy Data Network(FADN) farms. The research were conducted on the basis of indicator analysis,considering calculation reflected cost, production, economics and subsidiesconnected with the Common Agricultural Policy directed to farms. The analysiswas based on FADN 2004 and 2013.
