The article notes that in rural areas, re-development is necessary to ensure the sustainable development of specific area. The authors believe that it is possible to improve the farm structure by enlarging them by combining small business entities or providing another land plot in exchange. Such works will result in achievement of the desired structural change, only if it is implemented systematically and becomes a permanent element of long-term rural administration policy. Measures related to the consolidation and equivalent exchange of land plots should be introduced comprehensively and unambiguously in combination with subsequent development of such territories. Only then can the intended goal be fully achieved, that is, improvement of their spatial structure. Taking into account the limited funds, it is necessary to develop a strategy in order to identify the regions for community, districts or voivodships in which such activities should be carried out on a priority basis. Determination of lands for unification must be well thought, rational and, above all, it is necessary that the effect of such work brings measurable results for the country's agricultural policy. The survey ranked 32 characteristics which are specific to each village using the zero unitarization method and Hellwig method. The results of surveys carried out in 41 settlements of the Zharnovskaya community with a total area of 14 106.91 hectares, divided into 22 638 cadastral plots, are presented. The study area is located in central Poland.

We identify three types of obstacles (missing institutions) that limit the process of financial deepening in rural financial markets.  Each of these obstacles contributes to a continuing and common dilemma in developing countries - the lack of long-term finance.  In Africa, as in most developing regions, there is need to develop a more consistent strategy for improving access to term finance in agriculture and rural areas.  Although some examples of term financing can be found in African agriculture, the general lack of term financing in rural areas can be linked to the lack of general policy measures to enhance the environment for long-term financing, weak effective demand for rural and agricultural investment financing, and inadequate capacity of lenders to provide long-term finance to those clientele.

Sustainable Planning

China’s urbanization has brought benefits to cities, but the price is the deterioration of the urban ecological environment. As a result of long-term urban-rural dualism, China has actively supported cities, and then cities have occupied nature-based rural areas. Even though China has been aware of the ecological deterioration and has issued rural ecological policies, there is still the existing contradiction between urban expansion and rural protection development. China’s future planning will place greater emphasis on rural areas, and people have just entered the exploration phase. In this regard, the theory of “the urban-rural continuum” proposed by an American anthropologist William Skinner is extended to the field of architecture and planning to explore a sustainable method of urban-rural development. It offers a spatial model to describe China’s traditional social structure, from villages to cities, combined by the community of a standard market town.  It underlies a polycentric model with a communal structure that can further balance the urban-rural relationships and realize the sustainable development in the countryside.

The article presents the current problems faced by many of the largest companies in various industries related to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic. The article describes the countries that have achieved high results in the process of active innovation implementation. It is revealed that financing plays an important role at every stage of the innovation cycle, from the conceptualization of a product, service or technology to their commercialization and subsequent development. Today, relatively new financing mechanisms are widespread, such as intellectual property markets, crowdfunding and solutions in the field of financial technologies. Policy measures to stimulate investment contribute to the emergence of new growth points and the achievement of long-term goals, which is important for the future development of countries. It is proved that the effectiveness of cooperation between countries and their internationally agreed research projects can effectively counter the trend of increasing protectionism and solve important social problems at the present stage and in the future

Non-technical summary Agriculture provides many benefits to people, such as producing food and creating jobs in rural areas, but it can also have negative impacts on the environment. We analysed existing monitoring indicators for the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) to evaluate whether the CAP is effectively achieving multiple social and environmental goals. We found that the current CAP monitoring system is unable to balance many potentially competing goals because its indicators are biased towards a few objectives. We suggest the European Union and its Member States adopt a broader set of indicators covering clear targets when the policy is reformed after 2020.

Livelihood Improvement

Rural communities have long endured poverty, and they continue to tackle the problems of depopulation, a declining birth rate, and an aging population in Japan. Some rural communities face a crisis of survival. The question of this study are how sustainable communities in rural areas are being created. This study examine the process by which rural women have transformed the Livelihood Improvement Program (LIP) into a movement. The process was to expand rural women’s activities to enable them to play an active role in their family, women’s groups, and their community. This expansion reflects the effects of the LIP in rural areas. The LIP was started by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Japan in 1948 to develop self- reliant farmers. The women tried to find solutions to their problems using LIP approaches including problem-solving and the three-by-five cognitive method in group discussions. The LIP was a long-term program and officially ended in 2004. However, the LIP has been continued as a movement for the sustainable development of their community by the women. This study focuses on a case study at the community level involving an update of the LIP program in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The analysis is based on a literature review, secondary and historical data, and fieldwork carried out between 2004 and 2020. From a medium- to long-term viewpoint, their self-confidence improved and they became self-reliant famers. Now women in the older generations are creating employment opportunities through community businesses so that the younger generations may choose to remain in the rural areas in the future. There has been an increasing tendency for young people who moved to the cities to study or work to return to their hometowns. This study found that the most important aspects in susutainable community development are people’s initiative, identity, and pride.

Rural Pollution

Environmental pollution has become a severe threat to the sustainable development of China’s rural areas. The economic source of China’s rural environmental pollution consists of three factors, which are the assumption of “rational economic person”, the externalities of environmental pollution and the quasi-public characteristic of natural resources. The political source of rural environmental pollution is the failure of government regulation. In order to solve market failures and government failures, we need to establish a long term mechanism to solve rural pollution via moral, economic and legal measures.

Abstract Long-term human activity has led to many unfavourable changes in landscape structure. The main negative effect has been a simplification of landscape structure reflecting the removal of stable ecosystems, such as forests, shelterbelts, strips of meadows and so on, which were converted into unstable ecosystems, mainly farmlands. Thanks to these changes, serious threats have been posed to the sustainable development of rural areas. The most hazardous of these involve a deteriorating of water balance, increased surface and ground water pollution, and impoverishment of biodiversity. An agroforestry system can serve as a toolkit which allows counteracting such negative changes in the landscape. This paper presents the main findings emerge from long-term investigations on the above issues carried out by the Institute for the Agricultural and Forest Environment of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
