Agroforestry is an important component of agricultural production development. According to the Great Russian scientists, forest vegetation in the form of continuous afforestation or various types of forest belts on agricultural landscapes had and still has a significant impact on the formation of favorable agro-climatic conditions both on inter-forest and inter-strip spaces. Therefore, the creation of a system of different types and types of forest strips on the territory of agricultural land is an urgent task for the formation of environmentally sustainable agricultural production. The article presents various aspects of agroforestry activi-ties greening, reveals its historical development processes, and analyzes the introduction of innovative technologies in this area.

The Creation

Purpose. To characterize the methodological approaches that we develop in the formation of a system of information support for the creation and maintenance of the functioning of modern sustainable agricultural landscapes and to show the results of their implementation on the example of the territory of some agricultural enterprises of the Kharkiv region. Methods. Cartographic, geoinformation analysis, calculation, statistical and mathematical. Results. Some results of the work of the collective on the issues of information support for the creation and maintenance of the functioning of modern sustainable agricultural landscapes. Namely, verification of erosion models, studies of the functionality of shelter belts, the formation of an agroeconet (an extensive network of natural and quasi-natural landscapes) on agricultural land massifs, which ensures the maintenance of stable functioning of meso and macrolevel agrolandscapes, as well as the experience of using magnetic prospecting methods to verify the results of mathematical modeling of erosion processes. Conclusions. A number of methodological approaches to information support of the formation of sustainable agricultural landscapes in the natural and socio-economic conditions of Ukraine have been developed. They relate to the functioning of anti-erosion measures of permanent action, the processes of modern transformation of agro-landscapes, the ecological impact of erosion processes on the environment. The connection between the length of forest belts per unit of arable land and soil erosion is shown. A methodical approach has been developed to estimate the amount of soil washed away from arable land and to calculate the measures necessary to eliminate its harmful effects on the environment.

Sustainable Agricultural Practices

Using a composite environmental index, we assessed how environmentally sustainable agriculture is by examining water bodies of groundwater (WBG) in Slovenia. Apart from studying identifiable differences among 21 WBG, we also analysed and detailed the pressures of agricultural activities including by different types of aquifer porosity. We found that the most heavily burdened WBG have an intergranular type of porosity. From the standpoint of environmental sustainability agriculture is ill-suited on all five of the alluvial plains with intergranular aquifers in Slovenia. The lowest index was calculated in the area of the WBG in the Drava basin (-0.54), followed by the Mura (-0.34) and Sava basin together with the Ljubljana Marshes (-0.24). In order to better illustrate responsiveness, through analysis of spatial patterns of ecologically cultivated areas, we evaluated the distribution of the most sustainable agricultural practices and found that organic farming is more prevalent on water bodies with predominantly karst type of porosity (17.1% of organically cultivated agricultural land) and it occurs least on alluvial plains with intergranular aquifers (barely 3.7% of organically cultivated agricultural land). Calculations of the sustainability index of agriculture at the level of WBG proved to be very suitable approach for determining environmental sustainability.

The article analyzes the production of agricultural products by economic entities of Lviv region during the period of 2000–2017. Changes in the production of volumes of products by agrarian business entities during the period under review reflect certain trends in the areas of their functioning. Thus, in particular, as a result of the research, it was established that the volumes of agricultural production produced by all categories of farms increased in 2017 compared to 2000 by 40.9%, and from 2016 by 6.1%, including: crop production, respectively, in %: 77.2 and 7.7 and livestock production – by 4.1; 3.5 The study of the volumes of agrarian production in the context of the main producers shows that the agricultural enterprises have significantly increased production, and the households have made minor changes. At the same time, there were solid trends in the dynamical increase in the share of agricultural production produced by agricultural enterprises and the decrease in its production by households. Appropriate trends also occurred in the productive use of agricultural land (production per 100 hectares of agricultural land). Thus, agricultural enterprises on these indicators considerably exceed the economy of the population. The above data in Table 2 confirms the specific digital indicators. On this occasion, we note that when in 2000 agricultural enterprises produced agrarian products per 100 hectares of agricultural land, UAH thous.: 98.3; including: crop production 75.6 and livestock production 22.7, then in 2017, these indicators respectively were: 1284.2; 889.9 and 391.3, or this increase for the analysis period was: times: 13.0; 11.8 and 17.2. As far as households are concerned, there is a slightly different trend: in 2017 in comparison with 2000 there were processes of reduction of these relative indicators and they made in 2017 when comparing their values with the level of 2000, respectively, %: 64.0; 80, and 49.5. Thus, the results of the conducted research indicate that in the agricultural production of Lviv region intensive development processes of large agrarian formations and slowing down of small farms. These positive trends will continue to evolve and will continue to develop until optimal relationships are established between large and small forms of management.

Kursk Region

Changes in the structure and territorial organization of agriculture of the Kursk region in the process of its adaptation to post-Soviet economic conditions are revealed. In the crisis 1990s, a strong decline in agricultural production was accompanied by a polarization of the territory into islands of relative prosperity in areas with better land and around large, economically successful industrial enterprises, on the one hand, and the northwestern periphery, characterized by degradation of agricultural production and renaturalization of agricultural landscapes, on the other. The recovery growth of agriculture that began in the 2010s has led to a new spatial structuring – the concentration of livestock in certain places during the selective development of agricultural land by agricultural holdings in the region. This deter- mines a high degree of territorial differentiation of scale, specialization, structure and technical equip- ment of regional farms. Multiple differences between the regions in the provision of farms equipment, the level of fertilization, the role of farms of different categories have been revealed. The center of the region has lost its leading position in agricultural production. Positive agricultural dynamics is accompanied by negative ecological processes: insufficient level of fertilization, monoculture in agriculture, deterioration of the structure of sown areas, poor utilization of increasing waste of livestock complexes. The modern agricultural specialization of the districts of the Kursk region and their characteristic agro- ecological problems are established.

Soil Resources

The current state of use of soil resources in the agricultural sector of the country is analyzed. It is established that the soil cover, which is the basis of agricultural landscapes, is characterized by high agricultural potential, which allows depending on the climatic conditions of a particular region and genetic characteristics of crops to yield at 30-35 kg / ha of grain units and above. However, due to the significant exceeding of the limit of ecological stability of soils, as evidenced by the practice of agricultural production, various destructive processes are accelerating, which now almost completely covered the lands of the country under intensive cultivation. Particularly vulnerable in this context are the soil resources of Polissya due to the predominantly light particle size distribution and, accordingly, low ability to withstand the negative impact of external factors. It is proved that an effective measure to ensure the preservation and reproduction of soil resources is land management, which ensures the improvement of land relations, planning and organization of rational use and protection of land at all levels from national to economic. In particular, in the Polissya area, this role should be performed by working land management projects to protect lands from acidification, which determine the procedure for chemical reclamation of acid soils in relation to specific socio-economic and environmental conditions of land entities.

Coffee Production

Brazil holds a series of favorable climatic conditions for agricultural production including the hours and intensity of sunlight, the availability of agricultural land and water resources, as well as diverse climates, soils and biomes. Amidst such diversity, Brazilian coffee producers have obtained various standards of qualities and aromas, between the arabica and robusta species, which each present a wide variety of lineages. However, temperatures in coffee producing municipalities in Brazil have increased by about 0.25 °C per decade and annual precipitation has decreased. Therefore, the agricultural sector may face serious challenges in the upcoming decades due to crop sensitivity to water shortages and thermal stress. Furthermore, higher temperatures may reduce the quality of the culture and increase pressure from pests and diseases, reducing worldwide agricultural production. The impacts of climate change directly affect the coffee microbiota. Within the climate change scenario, aflatoxins, which are more toxic than OTA, may become dominant, promoting greater food insecurity surrounding coffee production. Thus, closer attention on the part of authorities is fundamental to stimulate replacement of areas that are apt for coffee production, in line with changes in climate zoning, in order to avoid scarcity of coffee in the world market.

Increase in the level of anthropogenic loading on agro ecosystem, which is the result of an increase in the amount of production of marketable crop production in violation of the requirements for reproduction and preservation of agro resource potential, leads to negative destructive changes in agro landscapes, what threatens agro ecological and food security. Under the existing organization of commodity production of crop production there are no trends in the implementation of land-use measures, and the priority is to increase profits, increase in yield, extension of arable land within the narrowing of agricultural land provoke the spread of erosion and degradation processes, reduction of humus stock and land fertility level. Implementation of measures for the restoration and preservation of agro resource potential demanding radical changes from scientifically positions. The systematization of agro ecological safety factors will promote the search for optimal organizational and economic decisions, implementation of agricultural land use. The subject of the research is a set of theoretical aspects of improvement organizational and economic conditions of balanced land use and institutional support, which will ensure the formation of environmentally sustainable agricultural landscapes.

Abstract The essential way of realization of the Common Agricultural Policy in EU is through the financial support. One of the basic ways of financial support are subsidies. The huge segment affecting the agricultural sector is necessary to define, describe or classify so that we can might it to best analyse and understand. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the development of agricultural subsidies granted per hectare of agricultural land in Slovakia in terms of territory. The difference between the individual regions was evaluated using one-way analysis of variance. This analysis confirmed the existence of statistically significant differences between the amounts of subsidies per hectare of agricultural land provided to agricultural entities in terms of individual regions. This fact shows that firms in regions with worse natural and climatic conditions achieved a higher amount of financial support than companies in regions where agricultural production has better conditions and a long-term tradition.

Abstract The article provides the assessment of the levels of aerotechnogenic pollution caused by the emissions from stationary pollution sources of industrial agglomerations in Zhytomyr, taking into account climatic conditions that affect the dispersion and accumulation of pollutants in soils and vegetation cover of surrounding agricultural landscapes. The examination of dust accumulated on the surface of leaves showed that it contains high concentrations of Mn, Cr, Pb, Ni, and Cu. The bioindication method with the use of white-tip radishes was applied to estimate the extent of aerotechnogenic pollution. The results of the investigation testified to the high informativeness of the offered test objects. The indexes of soil saturation with heavy metals indicated the presence of intensive processes of their accumulation. As a consequence, this territory became unsuitable for agricultural production. The inhibition of growth of radish roots identified the toxicity level of the investigated technogenic substrates as medium and higher than average. Also, there is inverse close correlation relationship between the distance from the emission source and the soil phytotoxicity indicators in all the investigated directions.
