During the period of intensification of agriculture and a change in the complex of conditions affecting the level of production, an acute issue is the attitude to land as the main means of production. Considering the natural characteristics of this means, a dilemma is arising in defining it as an object or subject of activity. The presented article provides an analytical overview of the problem of modern agrarian relations associated with the imperfection of farming systems and the organization of agricultural production. In the context of geocultural understanding, the status of the land is determined, which goes beyond the exclusively economic problem of the village, acquires a deep ideological, anthropological nature. Taking into account the conflicting opinions of famous thinkers and naturalists, it has been established that the geocultural paradigm of rural development should become an alternative to the village as a subject of the goal of activity. At the same time, the land is not an object and means of production, but a subjectively reliable way of managing, respectively, the spiritual foundations of the culture of the Ukrainian people. Land as a geocultural subject cannot be a commodity and an object of sale and purchase, in contrast to land plots, which can become land due to the geocultural mode of management. For the effective use of land plots and an increase in the level of production while saving the environment, it is necessary to implement the principles of the development and implementation of adaptive farming systems. Key words: land, agriculture, geoculture, rural population, farming.

Technical supply of enterprises of agro-industrial complex is one of the important factors of their industrial and economic development. This factor takes place when processing soils, harvesting and selling agricultural products. So, the crop production directly depends on the technical provision of the village with tractors, combines and other agricultural machines, which make it possible to apply and timely fulfill all agronomic requirements. The main reason of deterioration of the material and technical base is the lack of financial means for farms to purchase machinery and equipment, as well as weakened government support, and reduced investment in the development of agriculture. The volume of agricultural production and results of agricultural organizations depend from the timely and full provision of agriculture with material and technical resources, as well as the effectiveness of their use. Optimal formation and rational use of the material and technical base of agriculture has a direct impact on the performance of the entire agro-industrial complex. Effective use of agricultural resources is possible with increasing intensity of agricultural production on the basis of a highly developed material and technical base. At present, agricultural enterprises do not have a complex of machines for mechanizing agricultural production, that corresponds to the achievements of science and technology in this field, and it is very difficult to use the existing outdated material and technical base as the basis for increasing the intensity of agricultural production in modern conditions. In this connection, a particular urgency in modern conditions acquires the ways of technical re-equipment and integrated mechanization of agriculture.

Keywords: farming systems, hill country, people, policy, productivity, profitability, sustainability


The farming system in West Bengal is being shifted by integration between the set of cash crops and the main food harvest process. This change in diversified farming systems, where smallholders have a production base in rice can complement production; affect technical efficiency and farm performance. The goal of this study was to investigate the status of crop diversification on smallholders in West Bengal. First, crop diversification regions were developed in West Bengal based on the Herfindahl index, which were categorized into three regions. Three sample districts were studied separately at the block level, and 915 small farmers from 41 sample villages of 9 sample blocks were interviewed through a good structure questionnaire for field studies from the sample districts. West Bengal was gradually moving towards multiple crop production. Furthermore, increasing rice production reduced the marginal use of inputs for the production of other crops. Farming and other vital factors such as HYVs area to GCA, average holding size and per capita income in some districts of West Bengal can be identified as determinants of crop diversification.

Currently, the issue of preservation and effective use of cultural heritage is relevant. Bryansk region has a significant number of valuable historical and cultural monuments. Almost every district is rich in unique places of interest, a special place among which is occupied by the estate. Within the framework of the concept of landscaping of the estate of Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy in the village of Krasny Rog, Pochepsky district, Bryansk region, together with the company "Bryanskpromburvod" were carried out field surveys, engineering-geological, hydrological surveys and other necessary activities in order to compile a pre-project proposal for the reconstruction of the source of artesian water, taking into account archival and bibliographic materials, with minor changes in view of the current state of the territory of the object of cultural heritage. Taking into account engineering-geological and hydrological researches, results of full-scale inspection of the territory, the technology of drilling of a well, necessary materials and the equipment for its arrangement is picked up. The article considers the issue of attracting tourists and vacationers to the source of artesian water in the estate of Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy. Above the source it is recommended to install a pump room for the release of water, in order to protect it from pollution, and perform it in the architectural style corresponding to the period of life of Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy in the estate. Historical and cultural heritage can act not only as a factor in the development of spiritual life, but also as one of the promising areas of economic development in the Bryansk region. The attractiveness of the Museum-estate increases the tourist attendance, and part of the funds can be used for the maintenance of cultural heritage.

AbstractAgricultural production is strongly affected by and a major contributor to climate change. Agriculture and land-use change account for a quarter of total global emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). Agriculture receives around US$600 billion per year worldwide in government support. No rigorous quantification of the impact of this support on GHG emissions has been available. This article helps fill the void. Here, we find that, while over the years the government support has incentivized the development of high-emission farming systems, at present, the support only has a small impact in terms of inducing additional global GHG emissions from agricultural production; partly because support is not systematically biased towards high-emission products, and partly because support generated by trade protection reduces demand for some high-emission products by raising their consumer prices. Substantially reducing GHG emissions from agriculture while safeguarding food security requires a more comprehensive revamping of existing support to agriculture and food consumption.


The present study was conducted Bathinda, Fazilka, and Muktsar of Punjab to examine the socio-economic and general profile of goat farmers, studying a total sample of 88 goat farmers. Both types of goat farming systems, organized goat farms, and traditional goat farms, were studied with more emphasis on organized goat farms. The sample farmers consisted of 56 organized and 32 traditional goat farmers in the state. It was observed in the study that the education level of organized goat farmers was better compared to traditional goat farmers. A majority of the sample goat farmers had nuclear families. A majority of the farmers (53.57 percent) had goat farms located in the village. Organized goat farms had tube-well as the main source of water supply, whereas traditional goat farms were mainly dependent upon public water supply. Organized goat farmers had relatively higher exposure to training. A vast majority of the goat farmers had their breeding buck.

Abstract Contract farming is based on agreements settled prior to the farmer deciding about agricultural production, and influence their judgment regarding inputs and production systems. Therefore, they provide means of production coordination and safety for both farmer and agro-industry/distributor. However, contract farming has its gaps since it is written in abscence of complete information, due to the behavioral assumption of bounded rationality of economic agents. A specific law might generate legal certainty for economic agents, insofar as the Judiciary fulfills the contractual gaps. From the other side, private agents may also fulfill the contractual gaps. As an effort to understand the role of institutions in contract farming, this study aims to analyze the Bill 6,459/2013, which intends to rule contract farming and takes private instituctions into account, through the agency of the Monitoring, Development and Reconciliation of Integration Committee (Cadec). This is an applied research with qualitative approach. The research concludes that the approval of bill might lead to effective typical law for contract farming, provided that the creation of Cadec is encouraged.
