The report examines the need for a transition to a sustainable model of agriculture through the introduction of modern land use practices. Agroecology has reliable tools to ensure the environmental friendliness of modern agricultural production. Modern European agriculture is developing in compliance with ever higher standards in terms of environmental protection, biodiversity, safe food production. The challenges facing the Common Agricultural Policy are growing, necessitating the adoption of urgent action to make a successful transition to the sustainable use of agricultural land.

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.

<p>The need to keep the expected level of production in agriculture generates a serious burden on the environment. The most important environmental factors exposed to the impact of agriculture include biodiversity and water, air, and soil quality. Assessments of all these environmental aspects related to agricultural production are negative. The condition of the agricultural environment has been subject to rapid deterioration. In such a situation, environmental instruments have drawn particular attention from the European legislature when developing new guidelines of the Common Agricultural Policy to be applicable after 2020.</p>

Problems associated with the growing shortage of natural resources and the relevance of the development of organic agriculture are revealed, as well as put forward proposals for solving these problems. Data on statistical and analytical sources are given. The information on biological and chemical methods of agricultural land cultivation in Uzbekistan was used. The information of authors from different countries on the greening of agricultural production is used. In conclusion, it is concluded that in the future, the development of organic agriculture should become one of the most important areas of agricultural policy.

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.

Agriculture represents without any debate a fundamental economic sector, with significant implication in achieving not only the food safety standards for a growing population, but also in promoting rural communities' cultural values and providing good living standards and revenues for farmers and rural population. In this context the evolution of agricultural production structures represent a major concern for all decision-makers involved in this sector. Achieving competitive results in valuing the agricultural potential impose a great convergence between inland agricultural policies and the Common Agricultural Policy in order to integrate the best measures in designing an economically efficient agricultural structure. The chapter aims to analyze the evolution of some of the agricultural production structures under the Common Agricultural Policy reform and the pressure to adapt and achieve the most functional decision in a better valorization of the inland agricultural potential.

The aim of the study was to identify and evaluate the changes in land resources of small farms in the Małopolskie Province in the years 2004-2015 which were a result of using of selected CAP instruments. In the light of the results of the research, it should be noted that the examined CAP instruments had a relatively small impact on the size of land area. Less than one fifth of the respondents made changes in the land resources. Considering only farms that have increased their area it can be stated that the area of agricultural land of these farms increased by 3.7%. This situation is not favorable, especially in the situation of large agrarian fragmentation of farms in Małopolskie Province.

The cycle of the Common Agricultural Policy reforms begun in 1992 and that finished, for the time being, in 2013, profoundly transformed the agricultural framework of the EU. Taken as a whole, the process consisted of the progressive, partial and asymmetric liberalization of European agriculture, since much more emphasis was placed on dismantling intervention mechanisms than on aiding the restructuring, modernization and adaptation to a more competitive environment. In this context, and with an increasingly more open commercial policy, the States and the regions are obliged to design strategies to increase their competitiveness and innovation within the framework of the current Common Agricultural Policy (2014-2020). This is even more important for the regions most affected by the reforms. Under this argument, this paper reveals the principal qualitative and quantitative unknowns of the regional agricultural policy in Spain after the application of the Health Check in 2008, with special emphasis on the evolution of the Axis 1 of Rural Development.
