Los modelos productivos actuales incluyen doble cultivo anual, aumento de agroquímicos, fragmentación de la biodiversidad y alteración de ecosistemas. El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar de forma temporal las transformaciones de los servicios ecosistémicos (SE) de las unidades agroecológicas (UAE) de la Cuenca del río Quequén Grande (CrQG). La metodología se basa en la estimación de indicadores de sustentabilidad: conservación de la calidad de suelos y agua (CCSA), conservación de la biodiversidad (CB) y conservación del ecosistema (CE). La metodología utilizada fue el cálculo de las ecuaciones de los indicadores por UAE (a partir de datos de trabajos antecedentes y observación actual directa a campo), y se calcularon coeficientes de correlación lineal (r) entre los indicadores. Los resultados muestran que el proceso de agriculturización afecta sobre todo a los servicios de regulación de la unidad de Sierras y Serranías, y que en todas las UAE los ecosistemas fueron adaptados en su mayor parte a la provisión de servicios de abastecimiento de importancia comercial. Los gráficos de dispersión permitieron verificar correspondencia en los valores. Se concluye que los SE se ven afectados de diferente manera al interior de la CrGQ siendo fundamental una gestión que permita un futuro ordenamiento territorial. The Pampean Region has strong comparative advantages for agricultural production. Current production models include annual double cultivation with increased use of agrochemicals and strong alteration of ecosystems with biodiversity fragmentation.  The aim of this work is to temporarily analyze the transformations of the ecosystem services (SE) of the agroecological units (UAE) of the Quequén Grande River Basin (CrQG). The methodology is based on the estimation of sustainability indicators: soil and water quality conservation (CCSA), biodiversity conservation (CB) and ecosystem conservation (CE). For these, surface data obtained from classified images on the advancement of agricultural development by UAE of the Basin and field data obtained in interviews and background studies are necessary. The results show that the agricultural instensification process was manifested with different intensity in the different UAE of the Basin, the Sierras and Serranías unit was the most affected in both periods, with high values of environmental risk. The conclusions are that SE are affected differently in the CrQG and therefore it is intended to contribute to the territorial planning of SE in the basin.

In Vietnam, the construction of hydropower projects has contributed significantly in the cause of industrialization and modernization of the country. The place where hydropower projects are built is mostly inhabited by ethnic minorities - communities that rely primarily on land, a very important source of livelihood security. In the context of the lack of common productive land in resettlement areas, the orientation for agricultural production is to promote indigenous knowledge combined with increasing scientific and technical application; shifting from small-scale production practices to large-scale commodity production. However, the research results of this article show that many obstacles in the transition process are being posed such as limitations on natural resources, traditional production thinking or the suitability and effectiveness of scientific - technical application models. When agricultural production does not ensure food security, a number of implications for people’s lives are increasingly evident, such as poverty, preserving cultural identity, social relations and resource protection. Since then, it has set the role of the State in researching and building appropriate agricultural production models to exploit local strengths and ensure sustainability.

The article discusses the issues of territorial patterns in the implementation of precision farming technologies, which are insufficiently studied and constitute a significant scientific problem. The purpose of the study is to identify the territorial patterns of the introduction of precision farming technologies in conjunction with the indicators of agricultural development in the regions. The number of applied precision farming technologies was clarified, 37 regions took part in the study, 24 of them provided information on the application of these technologies. The results of correlation of regional development indicators (12 indicators in three blocks) and the amount of equipment with precision farming elements are presented. The greatest positive correlation is observed between the introduction of precision farming technologies and the agricultural production index at comparable prices (0.51) and the level of subsidies (0.37). The greatest negative correlation is observed between the introduction of these technologies and the change in the registered unemployment rate (-0.3). Based on the results obtained, it can be assumed that in regions with high values of agricultural production growth and subsidies, precision farming technologies will be most intensively introduced.

The author begins by discussing the relationship between agriculture and population at a theoretical level, proceeds with a historical review of changes in the role and significance of an individual as agricultural producer, and finally, analyzes population as an element (potentials - limitations) of agricultural development in Serbia. The overall production results, and particularly the propensity to technical and technological innovation, as well as the ability to adapt to the changed conditions are, as we know well, crucially dependent on the structure of the working population. Hence, the author discusses regional differences in agricultural population by age, sex, level of education and productivity to provide a clear illustration of the impact of this element (indicator) on the population as the factor of agricultural production. The results show significant macroregional differences by this element with respect to the average for Serbia.

This paper analysed policy correlates of agricultural production and agricultural production sustainability outcomes in Ghana and Nigeria. It underscores the influence of political systems and international development agendas as correlates of agricultural production and agricultural production sustainability outcomes. This is to the extent of providing evidence policy on agricultural production and agricultural production sustainability outcomes. Ghana and Nigeria have comparable farming/agricultural system and policy environment. Data used for the analyses spanned five decades. Trends analysis and inferential statistics were employed. The results revealed that policy correlates can contribute to the current discourse in sustainable development agenda and to resolving the dilemma of agricultural policy implementation for sustainable agricultural development, especially in Ghana and Nigeria. The findings reinforce the need for appropriate policies in transforming the agricultural sector while ensuring sustainable development outcomes.

Conhecer o potencial da chuva em causar erosão do solo é de fundamental importância para a compreensão da fragilidade de uma região, essas informações podem ser utilizadas na prevenção e controle da degradação do solo, auxiliando o planejamento territorial. Este estudo tem por objetivo estimar a erosividade da chuva na bacia hidrográfica do rio Juma, no sul do estado do Amazonas. Foram utilizados dados mensais pluviométricos do produto 3B42-V7 do sensor TRMM obtidos na plataforma Giovanni e comparados com dados de superfície, para a série histórica de 1998 a 2016. O índice de erosividade da chuva foi obtido a partir de um modelo proposto por Oliveira Jr e Medina (1990) desenvolvido para a região. Os resultados obtidos apontam que a variação espacial do índice de erosividade da chuva ao longo da bacia do rio Juma foi pequena (média de 11,66 MJ.mm.ha-1.h-1.ano-1), as maiores variações estão relacionadas a sazonalidade regional, sendo que o mês de julho apresenta o menor índice de erosividade médio (47,74 MJ.mm.ha-1.h-1.ano-1), enquanto que o mês de fevereiro apresentou o maior índice de erosividade (145,73 MJ.mm.ha-1.h-1.ano-1).Palavras–chave: Potencial erosivo da chuva, Degradação do solo, Sensor orbital.Abstract Knowing the potential of rain to cause soil erosion is of fundamental importance to understand the fragility of a region, this information can be used in the prevention and control of soil degradation, assisting the territorial planning. This study aims to estimate the rainfall erosivity in the river basin of the Juma, in the south of the state of Amazonas.

The purpose of the article is to highlight the conceptual understanding of the cluster as an innovative organizational and economic form of production in the system of sustainable development on the example of the agricultural sector and substantiate the scientific basis for ensuring its implementation at the regional level. Research methods. When carrying out the research, a set of general scientific methods and techniques was used; monographic - in the study of domestic and foreign publications and the above-mentioned problems; a systematic approach based on the principles of systems analysis and synthesis - to substantiate the relationship between sustainable development, the efficiency of agricultural production and the cluster model; abstract-logical - for the theoretical generalization of research results and determination of measures to ensure the implementation of the cluster model of agricultural development; economic analysis - to study the efficiency of agricultural production. Research results. The essence of the cluster in modern economic theory in the context of the concept of sustainable development has been studied and analyzed. Globalization, climate change and the aggravation of socio-economic and environmental problems in many countries of the world necessitate the search for new models of economic development. It has been established that one of the most optimal organizational and economic forms of effective agricultural production in the system of sustainable development is clusters. On the example of the Kirovograd region, a scientifically grounded regional model of the development of agro-clusters in the agro-industrial complex. Scientific novelty. Based on the synthesis of scientific theories of cluster and sustainable development, further study of theoretical and methodological approaches to the definition of the essence of clusters as a promising organizational and economic form of effective agricultural production in the system of sustainable development was obtained. Practical significance. The research results will find practical use in substantiating regional strategies for the development of agro-industrial production. They can be used in educational and educational programs, when providing consulting services for the creation of projects of agricultural clusters and in further scientific research.

It is a well known fact that increased use of purchased farm inputs, such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, seeds and farm machinery, etc., has been associated with a substantial increase in agricultural production and higher farm productivity. Since demand for farm inputs is derived from demand for farm products, therefore, agricultural development in a country or region may be studied either through the changes in farm production and productivity, or through the changes in demand for various farm inputs. The demand for fertilizers, especially, lends itself to this type of analysis, because fertilizer is a highly divisible farm input.

En este artículo se presenta una serie de planteamientos jerarquizados que esperan ayudar a definir y/o delimitar concreta y conceptualmente los limites reales, metodológicos y epistemológicos de la sociedad conocida en la literatura arqueológica como Ychma, la misma que se estableció específicamente en los valles del Rímac y del Lurín en la costa central durante el período prehispánico denominado como Intermedio Tardío (circa 900 DNE-1470 DNE) y que sobrevivió en varios aspectos socio económicos y sociopolíticos a la ocupación Inca de este área. Para realizar dichos planteamientos nos basamos en nuestro conocimiento de la materialidad social adscrita a lo Ychma y, sobre todo, en su negación dialéctica en la parte sur de la costa central reconocida por nosotros en el área del valle del rio Mala, donde llevamos casi una década de trabajo de campo y de comprensión de los fenómenos sociales intra e intervalles.
