The study was carried out to assess youths participation in cassava production under value chain development programme (VCDP) in Bida local Government Area of Niger State, Nigeria, with the specific objectives of describing the socio-economic characteristics of the VCDP participants, costs and returns, level of youths participation and factors influencing youth participation in the VCDP. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 100 young cassava farmers and data collected were analyzed using simple descriptive statistics and probit regression analysis. The level of profitability was measured using gross margin and net farm income analysis. The results obtained shows that farmers in the study area had low formal education and were mostly married males with an average age and household size of 32 years and six (6) persons respectively. The gross margin and net farm income were N109,050.00 and N103,450.00 per hectare, respectively. The level of youths’ participation under the VCDP was moderate and this was influenced by their age, gender, level of education, marital status, household size, farming occupation and cooperative membership. The major constraints faced by the farmers includes: poor extension agents/farmers’ ratio, inadequate capital and lack of market linkage. To this end, it was recommended that change agents should enlighten farmers on the benefit of VCDP and functional cooperative that could facilitate credit and group dynamism.

The article substantiates the need to change the paradigm of socio-economic development of the agri-food system, which will give new impetus to the steady growth of Russian territories. The priority of inclusive development, aimed not only at ensuring economic growth, but at solving social and environmental problems, strengthening the potential of both regions and the state is substantiated. It has been proved that as GDP growth slows down, a new source of economic development of the food and food market can be social, spatial, technological inclusion. The problems of the development of regional agri-food systems (spatial and social differentiation, technological complexity, inconsistency with the criteria of food safety) are identified. The possibilities of inclusive development of the agri-food system are shown: uniform and fair government support for all agricultural producers, employment growth and activation of the reproduction of the rural population, preservation of rural areas, solving environmental problems of depletion of natural capital and ecosystem exploitation.

The study of the issue of the effective use of lands is carried out using the calculation of economic indicators, on the basis of which a general rating has been determined and a cluster analysis has been carried out. The methodical instrument for constructing cluster analysis was the method of complete linkage at the Euclidian distance to combine the most similar administrative districts of Lviv region according to standardized indicators of economic efficiency of agricultural lands use. The article presents the results of cluster analysis, which showed the formation of three clusters in terms of economic efficiency of agricultural lands use in Lviv region. The research confirms empirically that the condition of land resources in Skole and Turka districts of Lviv region is unsatisfactory. Sambir and Horodok districts are defined as areas with a satisfactory state of agricultural land. In other districts of the region, we can witness a good state of land for the production of agricultural products. The results of the conducted research may be useful for the unification of business entities on an innovative basis to achieve competitive advantages and support economic growth at the regional level.

The article is devoted to the justification of the ecological and economic state of agricultural land use based on an analysis of the existing threats and risks of environmental safety in this area. The main threats and risks of environmental safety in Ukraine’s agricultural land use are characterized, in particular: excessive plowing, low ecological stability of territories, land degradation and erosion, loss of nutrients and soil fertility, negative nutrient balance, insufficient use of organic substances, general soil contamination and like that. According to the results, it was established that the content of humus in soils due to long-term use has a certain dependence on the amount of organic fertilizer applied in these areas. It is proved that the vast majority of these threats and risks of environmental safety of agricultural land use has caused an inefficient process of transformation of land relations. At the same time, it was determined that the threats and risks of the environmental safety of land use in agricultural can cause environmental hazards, taking into account negative multiplier and synergistic effects. It has been substantiated that the main threats and risks of environmental safety in agricultural land use have been identified without introducing a system of ecologically-balanced use of agricultural land can cause a complete loss of the potential of the fertile layer. At the same time, the identification of threats and risks makes it possible to simulate measures to counteract the influence of eco-destructive factors and form the mechanism for their implementation, taking into account the sectoral specificity of agricultural land use.

Building resilient rural areas or communities is one of the major goals of any strategy supporting food security for the future. Under these circumstances the major stakeholders are the people working in agriculture such as producers. In Romania, Sibiu county they can be landowners, custodians or non-formal land-loaning people dedicated for practicing agriculture. The scope of this article was to survey the awareness level regarding the value of genetic resources for food and agriculture of producers that are selling their agri-food products in Sibiu city. Based on the analysis of our results most of producers are of orthodox religion and are coupling the religious fests 'calendar to agricultural practices calendar. If they are aware about the value of old animal bred, they are not aware about the value of preserving landraces for more than 100 years in the same agro-ecosystem. About 15 crops species are among the best traded on the Sibiu market, but their genetic pools is much wider reaching up to 40 species in traditional gardening. The landowners are not ye associated at the commune level and therefore it is a great need to be supported at the local and county level by officials. A recognition of the history of importing genetic resources for the region is a must due to current failures in importing crops not suitable for very peculiar local conditions. Also, we recommend the adoption of the list of crops varieties traditionally cultivated in villages. The willingness of producers to be recognized for a potential network for on farm conservation should also be part of a process to be adopted an official list for on farm conservation of genetic resources in a bottom-up approach up to the national and European levels.

The aim of the paper is to analyze the taxation of agricultural land in the Slovak Republic with a focus on arable land, hop gardens, vineyards, orchards, permanent grassland and to propose measures that could contribute to the adjustment of tax rates in the future. Tax decentralization has been taking place in Slovakia since 2004, thus strengthening the tax competences of local municipalities in the field of property tax. The following factors are decisive in determining the tax on agricultural land by the local government: the value of the taxable land, the tax rate and the tax administrator's ability to raise the tax rate to a maximum of 5 times the base rate declared by law. Tax administrations use the legal options and increase tax rate in multiples, which positively affects their financial budget. The persisting high tax burden on agricultural land in some municipalities increases the cost and reduces the profitability of farms.

Agriculture plays a rather important role in the Romanian economy, with the agricultural sector accounting for 4.3% of GDP at the end of 2017. The agricultural sector is represented by different branches and production systems that have an essential and strategic role in improving the quality of life and quality by supplying various Romanian and / or organic products on the market. The agricultural sector is non-indispensable and indispensable to man. But, what is the link between climate change and agriculture, what does this relationship define? Agriculture is the victim of climate change or is agriculture responsible for climate change? This paper seeks to analyze climatic factors with a major influence on agriculture characterized by: temperature and precipitation, but also the role played by agriculture in climate change through greenhouse gas emissions. The paper deals with a topic of national, European and global interest, because these climate changes are reflected in food production, land and marine ecosystems, affecting the economy and the main culprit, the man.

The term globalization is one that is increasingly used in all areas. But studies show that when it comes to tourism, globalization is the element that has most influenced the development of this sector. Through tourism, there is the possibility of recreation, sports, rehabilitation, business, religious, scientific and intellectual: new experiences, perceptions and knowledge. In this way, modern tourism becomes a mass tourist. In this paper we intend to analyze how globalization, the advantages offered by it have influenced the arrivals and departures of tourists in Romania, but also beyond its borders, in the period 2014-2018. The research methodology was based on the study of the bibliographic sources and on the use of the information provided by the statistical data, data that have been processed, analyzed and interpreted in order to highlight the way tourism has evolved during these years.
