The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is one of the most important policies of the European Union. It affects the economic performance of farms to a large extent. The objective of the paper was to analyse the relationship of subsidies and several economic indicators of Slovak farms. We have focused on the analysis of five economic indicators - total assets, revenues from the sale of own products and services, economic result, the number of employees and the volume of investments spent on the acquisition of tangible fixed assets. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to analyse the dependence between economic indicators and the amount of received subsidies. The results show that the level of all types of subsidies was in positive relation to the area of agricultural land and partly with a large majority of economic indicators expressed in absolute terms. When analysing intensity indicators, the situation was less clear.

The goal of the research is to substantiate scientific and institutional fundamentals of sustainable land management as an instrument to improve economic efficiency of agricultural land use. The research methodology is presented as a model of the system of measures, which should be performed while adapting to the sustainable development of agricultural land management being the instrument to improve ecological and economic efficiency of land resources use. The research progress included implementation of several stages: 1) analysis of the goals of sustainable development, adapted for Ukraine for the period of 2015-2030; 2) determination of the specificity of use of the region’s land and resource potential; 3) assessment of the impact of agro-technical and natural-climatic factors on the value of yield by the dispersion analysis method;4) modeling of the current and expected levels of yield of grain and soil-exhausting crops in conditions of the studied territory. To supply automation of the dispersion analysis calculations, the researchers used the computer program “Regre”. The described methodology was tested on the territory of Mykolaiv region. The research defined the impact of agro-technical and natural-climatic factors on the value of yield capacity of the main agricultural crops of the region and their distinction by applying the dispersion analysis method. The research results are used to make forecasts of the level of yield of grain crops and sunflower in the future (2025). The increased yields of the main crops will provide the possibility to reduce the area of agricultural plowing, as well as expand the area of lands used for nature protection. The economic balance for the security of sustainable land management of the examined region needs crucial improvements. First, it concerns revival of land-owners’ careful attitude to land. Therefore, labour and financial efforts should be focused on active application of the tools of the mechanism of land resources reproduction.

Rural development in various countries in Asia has experienced tremendous change and transformation. Countries like Malaysia and Indonesia have experienced growing interest in utilising information and communication technologies (ICTs) for rural development. ICT and society could create a new pathway for the rural area and its society should progress in future. Evidently, technologies will continue to evolve and used to improve productivity. However, in the long run, this might jeopardise any effort for creating and sustaining employment/job and wealth creations for locals and for rural economic sectors. This is because current jobs including in rural small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could be replaced by technologies, hence might reduce industry dependency on local workforce. There are cases whereby the ICTs and other emerging technologies which have been introduced in rural areas, as shown in “creative kampung” communities, have not deter locals from being employed in rural economic sectors (and SMEs) instead sustaining jobs and improve SMEs operations and productivities. Creative kampung emphasises on sustaining economic activities based on human creativity and/or creative industry that cannot be replaced by machines or any other means of modern technologies. However, it is a norm for local entrepreneurs to incorporate some elements of technologies to improve productivity and quality of products and services, while maintaining the authenticity of their products. The paper presents some key findings based on comparative study of two creative kampungs in Sayong, Kuala Kangsar, Malaysia and Gemawang Village at Semarang District, Central Java Indonesia. It is expected that the findings might have values particularly in improving the understanding on the concept of creative kampung from different localities, internal and external key drivers for transformation of creative kampung and entrepreneurship development.

The consumer awareness and interest in food quality is growing which leads to greater demand for organic products. Organic farming is helping to maintain biodiversity in the agro-ecosystems, as well as to preserve traditional species and varieties of crops and rare breeds of animals in certain regions or countries. The main objective of the paper is to observe the technical and economic efficiency of the three species of ancient wheat, grown under different technologies of organic fertilization and sowing rates. The study is conducted at the experimental centre for organic production at the Agricultural University – Plovdiv during the period 2014 – 2017. The analysis of results showed different levels of technical efficiency of the three wheat species, grown under different technologies of bio fertilizer treatment. On the other hand, the high prices of the approved fertilizers for organic production do not guarantee the economic efficiency of their application. In fact better economic results were observed without use of fertilizers. It was also concluded that higher sowing rates of the wheat species impacts positively on yields.

The aspects related to the productions obtained by the agricultural entities highlight significant quantitative discrepancies and need a more detailed analysis of the causes that led to this state of fact. Our research is based on information obtained from the field, by interviewing farmers and recording the information obtained in the background notes of this work. The results obtained have led to the shaping of conclusions that highlighted legal and administrative issues related to the conventions or other agreements-type of collaboration, by which the use of lands is transferred, creating over-productions or decreased productions and thus, an artificial economic situation and, most of the time, the impossibility of correct reporting to APIA (Agricultural Payments and Interventions Agency). The conclusion of the research work and the one also shared by the farmers is to grant the subsidy only to those that actually produce and work the land.

One of the main concerns worldwide is the production of renewable energy based on agricultural waste, in most countries the agricultural sector is the basis of the national economy. The most important amount of biomass residues is generated by agricultural crops. The energy potential of biomass residues from agricultural crops depends to a large extent on the amount of resources available and their characteristics. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the energic and theoretical potential of biomass result. A mathematical calculation model for all indicators was defined in the paper. Maximum total amounts of biomass residues obtained from the studied crops are estimated at 9,985.18 kilotons, 11,105.04 kilotons, 2,542.03 kilotons and 1,564.56 kilotons. Due to the pedoclimatic conditions and the agricultural production, Romania has a high biomass potential, having a great diversity of types of crops that can be found in the field.

The agro-climatic resources, especially the thermic and precipitation resources of a territory, are the main natural factor influencing the health status of the vegetation and the productivity of a crop. The main objective of this study is to analyze the thermic and precipitation resources of the agricultural year 2016-2017(01.09.2016-31.08.2017), for the South-West Oltenia Region, in relation to the value of the barley and the two-row barley crops. The analysis will be carried out using the climatological data from 15 meteorological stations belonging to the National Meteorological Administration and the production data from the National Statistics Institute. The methods used in the data analysis are logical, spatial and comparative analyzes, operations in GIS environment and climatic indices (spring arrival Index). The 2016-2017 agricultural year, from a thermic point of view, was a warm year, with an annual average of 10.3°C for the entire region. The spring 2017 was excessively early with the average spring arrival index of 464.4°C. In terms of precipitation, throughout the agricultural year 2016-2017, there were six months of excessively droughty. As a whole, the agricultural year was droughty in most of the region, with an average annual rainfall of 587.4 mm. On this climatic fund, in the study area, there was an average production per hectare, for barley and two-row barley crops of 4,438 kg/ha. The variability of the main thermic and water parameters, of each agricultural year, determines the fluctuation of the crops. The analysis of these resources represents the sine qua non conditions for an efficient agricultural management.
