In front of escalating resource limitations in agriculture, this study emphasizes the critical need for efficient crop cultivation. Focusing particularly on tomatoes, a staple in global diets, the research aims to sustenably enhance productivity. Recognizing productivity as a key economic indicator, the study highlights the pivotal role of energy-efficient practices in addressing challenges posed by climate change and depleting natural resources. By optimizing energy use in agricultural processes, this research not only improves economic efficiency but also positions the sector for resilience and innovation in a resource-constrained environment. Through an in-depth analysis of data from Eurostat covering the 2014-2022 period, we trace the trends in greenhouse tomato cultivation across Europe, evaluating changes in cultivation areas and productivity. This research offers insights into how different European countries have adapted their agricultural practices in response to environmental and economic pressures and in the same time, it underscores the need for continued innovation and adaptation in agricultural practices to meet the demands of a growing global population under increasingly constrained environmental conditions.

The study was performed in Askanian State Agricultural Research Station of the Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine, located in the Southern Steppe zone of the country. The experiments were carried out in a stationary field in the period 2015-2020 within a four-field crop rotation (winter barley with post-harvest sowing of green manure crop-soybean- winter wheat with post-harvest sowing of green manure crop-grain maize) and resulted in scientific substantiation of the influence of different systems of basic tillage and organic-mineral fertilization systems on the agrophysical parameters of dark-chestnut soil and formation of winter barley yields. It was determined that the no-till variations, which outperformed the bulk density in the control (under the conduct of mechanical tillage) by 4.0%, are responsible for the soil's maximum bulk density (1.30 g/cm3). The bulk density of the dark-chestnut soil was decreased by 1.6% when post-harvest green manure was used, and by 2.3% when continuous no-till farming was used. The bulk density of the arable layer of dark-chestnut soil in the range of 1.22-1.26 g/cm3 produces the maximum productivity of winter barley. Crop yields are impacted by a reduction in bulk density brought on by excessive soil loosening as well as soil compaction.

Object of the research is 5 new lines of pearl millet. They were bred in the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution “North Caucasus FARC”. The purpose of the research was to specify the presence of nutrients (protein, fat, fiber, NFE), the level of essential and other amino acids in these new lines. Their content in the feed determines its biological value. The highest content of crude protein (12.92%) in the dry matter, which was obtained during the studies in 2021-2022, was found in line No. 1. This parameter ranged from 10.51 to 11.52% in other varieties. As for the grain, lines No. 5 (16.47%), No. 3 (16.45%) and No. 1 (16.29%) had the highest content of crude protein. The standards of Siberian millet and proso millet had significantly lower content of protein. It was 13.45 and 11.32%, respectively. The grain of the new lines showed the highest levels of crude fat in lines No. 4 (7.34%) and No. 5 (7.09%). The amount of crude gluten in the grain and dry matter of pearl millet was relatively low. On average, the dry matter of pearl millet had lower levels of essential amino acids (0.36%) compared to non-essential ones (0.72%). The new lines No. 1 and No. 5 had the highest content of essential amino acids in the grain. The content of non-essential amino acids in the grain was significantly higher than in the dry matter, averaging 1.2% and 0.72% respectively. The new lines No. 4, No. 3, and No. 1 had the maximum content of these amino acids. In terms of amino acid content, pearl millet grain exceeded the standards of proso millet and Siberian millet grain.

Cotton is a significant raw material source for textiles, food, and other sectors, as well as a major influence in worldwide and national trade and industry. The primary goals of this research are to examine the cotton production and trade in which Türkiye plays a significant role in global production; to analyse international competitiveness; and to forecast the next ten years using data from 1961 to 2020. The Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA) method will be employed to investigate its international competitiveness, and the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) Box-Jenkins model will be used to forecast the comparative advantage of the Turkish cotton industry. According to the findings, Türkiye ranks seventh in cotton production, but there was a 21% decrease in 2020 (1.8 million tonnes) compared to 2005 (2.3 million tonnes). When world cotton exports were examined, the USA, Brazil, and India came to the fore, while Türkiye ranked 14th with 87 thousand tonnes in 2020. When the observed cotton RSCA indices for Türkiye were examined, the results revealed no competitive advantage and no specialisation in cotton exports over time. While the RSCA index was 0.68 in 1980, it was down until -0.42 in 2010. In 2020, the RSCA index was -0.03. Furthermore, the forecasting analysis shows that the RSCA indices for cotton export will gradually decline due to periodic fluctuations, eventually falling to -0.18 by 2030. Consequently, the inadequacy of cotton production to meet consumption, as well as cotton imports, may be expressed as reasons for Türkiye’s comparative disadvantage.

The main concern of today's scientists is the sustainable development of agriculture to achieve global food and nutrition security. Genome editing technology is recognized worldwide for its potential for sustainable agricultural intensification. In this paper, applications of genome editing in maize were analyzed and exemplified, based on statistical data collected from the EU-SAGE Database from January 1996 to July 2023. In addition, the existing regulations for this new technology were also discussed. The results showed that, so far, 51 applications of maize genome editing have been reported in the EU-SAGE database, and the CRISPR/Cas system was the most used genome editing tool with the potential to rapidly generate new genotypes with high yield, improved quality, and stresses resistance. Most applications were developed in China and the USA. Due to current GMO legislation and political indecision regarding the authorization of genome-edited products, the European Union is not yet able to use and cultivate these new improved genotypes.

In this study, it was aimed to examine the changes in the cost and profitability of rose (oil), wheat, barley and chickpea, which are important agricultural products in Isparta province. In this context, statistical data of Isparta Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry and TURKSTAT were utilized. According to the findings of the research, in 2022, rose (oilseed) kg cost was 10.57 TL, relative profit 1.58; wheat kg production cost 6.11 TL, relative profit 1.51; barley kg production cost 4.54 TL, relative profit 1.31 and chickpea kg production cost 14.78 TL, relative profit 1.25. There was a general upward trend in the production costs of the products analyzed. The increase in factors such as diesel, fertilizer, pesticides and harvest labor costs cauzed the cost of the products to increase. In addition, due to the nature of agriculture, changes in yield with the effect of the climate factor also affected the income of farmers. This reduces the profit margin of producers.

In the conditions of southern Romania, on a chernozem type soil, without irrigation, for 3 years, 2 isogenic lines of wheat, M1 and M2, with different biological yield potential were analyzed. The analyzed factors were: Nitrogen fertilization doses, Phosphorus fertilization doses and sowing density. Concerning the influence of nitrogen on yield, all calculated average values differ significantly from each other, both for M1 and for M2, the highest average values being recorded at a dose of N150 kg a.s./ha. Regarding the influence of phosphorus on seed yield, both for M1 and M2, no significant differences are recorded between the two averages values calculated for the analyzed graduations. Related to the influence of density on seed yield, the average value recorded at 700 g.s./m2, records significant differences compared to the value averages recorded at the density of 500 g.s./m2, between the value averages recorded on 600 g.s./m2 and the other value averages, no statistically differences being recorded. Concerning the trend models between Nitrogen doses and wheat yield, all the models are mathematically correct, what differs is the regression coefficient. The regression coefficient is higher under phosphorus fertilization and on high sowing density.

This study looks into the influence of Farmer Field School (FFS) in enhancing rice farmers' income in Babatngon, Leyte, Philippines. The article also aimed to determine the significant factors that affect the rice income in the aspect of the rice production process under the FFS program. Secondary data were considered from the existing current study in the literature that dealt with rice farmers who finished their training in FFS. This study used some standard statistical measures to summarize and describe the data collected and employed quantile regression to capture the significant factors affecting the income of rice farming as influenced by FFS. The results of the survey depicted that the farmers who graduated with FFS training have high knowledge, positive attitude, and very great extent in their practices on what they have learned from crop management and the PalayCheck system. Based on the quantile regression models, the level of income in rice farming is influenced by a lower number of years in farming. This implies that younger farmers are more productive and efficient in enhancing their economic income since they are more competitive than traditional farmers. In addition, the regression models revealed that knowledge and attitude toward FFS do not influence their rice income unless it is implemented and adopted. Moreover, it is depicted that the practices of FFS farmers significantly influenced their level of income at a 10% level. Hence, FFS training has improved the productivity of farmers, and positively impacted their economic income and decision-making process. Furthermore, the study suggested that the FFS program must continually reach out to more small-scale farmers, especially in rural areas to attain sustainability in the country.

Food security, defined as the availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability of food, is a critical concern in the context of global sustainability and human well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated existing challenges, putting additional strain on food systems and exacerbating vulnerabilities. The current world status demands a thorough evaluation of the food security situation in Romania and other Eastern European countries. We must take into account various elements that influence this extremely intricate subject. Our approach involves analyzing data from reputable sources whose main purpose is to support nations in finding solutions for a sustainable future, such as FAO, EU or UN. Our goal is to acquire a detailed insight into how world events impacted the food security of Eastern European countries. Moreover, we investigated the role of social and economic inequalities that contribute to food insecurity, as well as the consequences of climate change on food systems' stability. Through this rigorous analysis, we seek to contribute to the existing body of knowledge and inform policy and decision-making processes towards achieving sustainable and resilient food security in the region.
