The aim of the paper is to point out the significance of agriculture in Serbia along with the specificities that accompany it. The purpose of the paper is to show that the selection of an adequate source of funding can contribute to the improvement of agrarian production which would not only mean production for its own needs, but also export to the world market. The methodology of writing the paper is based on the use of adequate professional literature that describes and monitors the specificities of agricultural production together with the specifics of financing. The following indicators of investments were used: a) the participation of total realized investments in fixed assets in agriculture, forestry and fishing (AFF) in total; b) the participation of the total payed investments in the fixed assets in the activities of the AFF in the total; c) structure of payments for investments by sources of financing; d) investments made in the rural areas by rural inhabitants. The mentioned indicators are presented for the period 2013-2016.

The article considers theoretical aspects of the mechanisms of land resources management in Ukraine. The work determines main characteristics of land resources management and outlines the notion of land resources management of territorial communities under conditions of power decentralization. In the context, land resources management is currently viewed as important theoretical and methodological problem at different levels of power. The research concerns the main reasons for impossibility of established territorial communities to have lands at their disposal. Implementation of the state land policy expects from the bodies of state power working in the field of land relations, focused on rational use and protection of land, security of food safety of the country and creation of ecologically safe conditions for running of economic activity and living of people. Transition of lands to the control of amalgamated territorial communities is a common European practice of decentralization of rights and responsibilities. In terms of decentralization, the principal goal of the land reform is to secure sustainable social and economic development of the territories due to efficient management in the field of land use. Among the primary steps are the following, particularly the necessity to regulate the order concerning setting the boundaries of the area of amalgamated territorial communities and simplification of the procedure of development and approval of the documents concerning land organization in terms of determination of boundaries of administrative and territorial units. In Ukraine, there is no a legally approved general strategy of land resources and land relations development. Nevertheless, people have great expectations that they soon get the needed legislative documents, supporting adequate solution of the problems in the field of land relations, improving degree of trust of business people and society to the system of land relations.

Worldwide, PEFCTM represents the most spread certification scheme in forestry. The goal of this paper was to highlight the evolution of the number of Chain of Custody (CoC) certificates and the PEFCTM certified area worldwide between 2013 and 2017, by analyzing the public data provided by the official website. Currently, the total PEFCTM certified forest area accounts for approximately 313 million hectares, out of which 55% are located in North America. As for the largest forest areas certified by PEFCTM the top three places are held by Canada, The United States of America and Australia. At the end of 2017, in Europe the PEFCTM scheme had certified forests from a total number of twenty four countries, with the highest areas being shared by Finland, Russian Federation and Sweden. According to the most recent statistics, around 82% of the total CoC certificates issued worldwide were recorded in Europe, France, Germany and United Kingdom being the countries with the highest shares. Currently, in Romania only twenty three CoC certificates were issued and no forest area was yet certified.

Currently it is considered that food security is highly depending on the sustainable use of arable land that may be dramatically affected by drought and/or precipitations in the next 20 years. The Romanian agricultural economy is based on animal bred, crops cultivation as well as commodity trade. Fodder plants become more important when drought and acidification become limiting factors negatively impacting our own ability to bred livestock. A complex research project was implemented starting with 2007 when six fodder species (i.e. Festuca arundinacea, Festuca pratenssis, Phleum pratense, Dactylis glomerata, Lolium perenne and Trifolium repens) have been tested with the scope of producing new genotypes that may develop adaptation mechanisms towards drought and acidification. Thus, the scope of this article is to emphasize the main limitations that have been encountered during project implementation. A SWOT analysis was applied for evaluating final results. Major limitations are imposed by techniques, skills and studied plant species as well as by the need of data corroboration at the international level.

This study aimed to identify and analyze Lithuanian consumers’ attitudes and purchasing behaviour towards domestic livestock products. In order to get necessary information, Lithuanian residents were interviewed. A multi-stage stratified random sampling was used to select the respondents. This study draws on a survey of 1009 respondents. The analysis of collected data was performed using the methods of mathematical statistics. The results suggest that the vast majority of Lithuanian consumers regularly buy domestic livestock products. Among this group of respondents, the top reasons for purchasing are freshness, good taste and favourable prices. Only a small share of Lithuanian consumers rarely or never buys domestic livestock products. Among this group of respondents, the top reasons for not purchasing are unfavourable prices, short shelf-life and insufficient range of products. Domestic livestock products buyers tend to be older, higher educated and have higher level of income than non-buyers.

This study aimed to investigate Lithuanian consumers’ views on country of origin labelling for milk and dairy products. In order to get necessary information, Lithuanian residents were interviewed. A multi-stage stratified random sampling was used to select the respondents. A survey of 1,000 Lithuanian consumers on milk and dairy products was undertaken. The analysis of collected data was performed using the methods of mathematical statistics. The survey results reveal that for two-third of Lithuanian consumers, when buying milk and dairy products, it is important to know the country where the milk is milked. Respondents who perceive origin labelling indicating the country of milking as very important and important information tend to be female, middle-aged and have a higher education. While Lithuanian consumers are interested in origin labelling indicating the country where the milk is milked, they are not ready to buy milk and dairy products at a higher cost to have that additional information. Only one-third of interviewed persons are prepared to pay a price premium to know the country of milking. Respondents who are prepared to pay a little more to have that additional information tend to be young, have a higher education and the highest income.

This study aimed to identify the meaning of local food to consumers in Lithuania, to examine the interest in purchasing local food and to uncover the main drivers and barriers towards purchase of local food. Data were gathered through a survey of 415 Lithuanian residents. The analysis of collected data was performed using the methods of mathematical statistics. The results suggest that a majority of Lithuanian consumers perceived local food as being produced within more than 100 km from their home. Respondents also strongly agreed with the definitions of local food as food grown or produced in Lithuania and food sold by Lithuanian famers directly to consumers. Three quarters of Lithuanian consumers regularly purchased local food and one fourth of respondents rarely or never purchased local food. Socio-demographic characteristics were not dominant factors in determining who purchased local food. Social conscience, health concern and shopping benefits were found to be the main drivers of purchasing local food. Alternatively, the main barriers were identified as buying inconvenience, lack of marketing, lack of trust and inadequate quality
