Moldova traditionally relies on the agricultural sector, rural population representing one third of labor force. The agricultural education and research system in Moldova is characterized by the aging of the teaching and research staff, the reduction of the number of students below the critical level, unattractiveness of science and education for the young generation, the weak connection between education, science and production, but also the inefficiency of the institutional activity. All these represent a major danger for the sustainable development of the rural areas. The aim of this paper is to analyze the major factors affecting the academic performance of research and teaching staff in agricultural higher education of Moldova. The study is based on field surveys of academic personnel of State Agricultural University, the only agricultural higher education institution in Moldova. The data set includes 120 respondents. Main analyzed indicators are related to academic performance as: professional motivation, research activity in projects, published research results and achievements, main problems and challenges within the institution related and other relevant factors. As result, income level remains an important factor for staff motivation in achieving higher performance.

The study aims to assess the dualistic impact of the rents and transaction costs on the farmers regarding agricultural land use. The theoretical framework is based on Rent-seeking (RS) theory and the Transaction cost of economics (TCE). The review of both doctrines explains the "outflow" or "absorption" of value. The study observes the negative aspects of maximizing the functions of farmers with rents. They lead to distortions related to monopolies or unlimited market power. On the one hand, transaction costs are setting market inefficiencies due to the lack of consolidation of property rights and loss of time. On the other hand, rents can positively contribute to the mobility of other factors and, hence, the more efficient allocation of the resources. The transaction costs represent a positive effect of the risk distribution associated with the use of resources, which determines their positive role in protecting property rights. The study uses different methods, such as comparative institutional analysis, which retrospectively shows the effect of the institutional change and, more importantly, the impact of rent-seeking and transaction costs on main actors in the agricultural sector. The study aims to answer the question: rent-seeking or transaction costs are more important for agricultural activities, and how should they be reduced to maintain better agricultural land use.

Agriculture 4.0 is seen as a new possibility in overcoming the global challenges related to the scarcity of resources, climate change and food security. In this context, the aim of the paper is to outline the main definitions, concepts, technologies and trends in Agriculture 4.0 development and discuss the challenges, as well as opportunities and prospects. Based on the literature overview, it can be concluded that Agriculture 4.0 will play a crucial role in transforming the agri-food sector and shaping future agricultural production models. On the other hand, the new concepts should be linked to the Green Deal and sustainable development goals to ensure a fair and resilient agricultural system. Along with the benefits of Agriculture 4.0, there are challenges associated with farmers' perceptions and ability to change, the development of infrastructure, especially in rural areas and the lack of standards for implementing the new technologies. The government and policymakers' role is essential and should be directed in supporting the implementation of the concept Agriculture, 4.0.

Exogenous and endogenous factors influencing the condition of agriculture in mountain areas of Podkarpackie voivodeship were presented. The scope of the research includes the determination of characteristic features, limitations in agricultural production, deficits and development opportunities as well as ways of using/reinforcing existing trends in the agri-food sector in the aspect of mountain farming development in the areas of Podkarpackie voivodeship. Preservation of agricultural production in this valuable natural area is very important due to the numerous social, economic, environmental, but also cultural functions performed by agriculture and farms here. Departure of inhabitants from agriculture may cause irreversible negative phenomena resulting in reduction of landscape attractiveness and consequently tourist attractiveness. Mountain areas have development opportunities which should be utilised by coordinating actions at the regional and macro-regional level.

This study aims to determine alfalfa's production costs and profitability in Aksaray Province. Clover producers were visited directly, and prepared forms related to the subject were applied to 70 clover producer enterprises. The surveyed enterprises were selected by chance. Data from clover-growing enterprises cover the 2019 production season. On average, the cost of clover per decare is 0.90 TL/kg, the sales price is 1.09 TL/kg, and the profit margin is 0.19 TL/kg for clover-producing enterprises. The relative profit in enterprises was calculated as 1.21. The average value of gross profit and absolute profit for enterprises was determined as TL 890.11 and TL 373.70, respectively.

In Romania the largest spaces used for aquaculture are under the management of the National Administration ''Romanian Waters”, of the National Agency for Fisheries and Aquaculture and of some territorial administrative units. Each have separate regulations regarding the transmission of space use. Each has separate regulations on the use of space use. This paper has looked for an answer to the question: would it be beneficial if there was a single regulation for the cost and other conditions of use of aquaculture space? For this purpose, were studied data from national institutions and community institutions, there were talk with specialists in the fisheries sector, and has been studied the position of one Romanian fish farmers association. The study concludes that the road to a common interest, both economic and social, is bearing fruit and is above a self-interest, and does not violate the right to property or the good manifestation of property.

In this paperwork a x-ray regarding the main aspects related to the activity of agro-food cooperatives in Germany was accomplished. A series of indicators related to cooperatives in Germany were analyzed and presented. Forms of associations, producer groups and horizontal and vertical cooperation have proven to be opportunities for small business development. This is underlined by agricultural cooperatives in Germany, a major EU grower, farmer and producer, at the forefront of agricultural excellence. Agricultural cooperatives are associations of farmers and family farms working together on the land. They are established by law to increase efficiency and strengthen market positions. At the same time, they take responsibility for all aspects of the environment, thereby preserving the landscape and preserving the biodiversity of plant and animal species. On the one hand, many cooperatives use the latest technologies in fields such as farming, fertilization, plant protection, and the introduction of digitalization in the production process promotes the development of environmentally friendly management. After German reunification, existing economic units were dissolved or converted. Those who continued their activities took the legal form of agricultural producers' cooperatives, sponsored and represented by the Cooperative Audit Association and the German Association of Raiffeisen. Statistical data used in this research was mainly taken from the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) website, the rest being obtained from other sources.

In contradiction with globalization, we meet the increasingly current of conservation of the traditional regional specificity of each area in Romania, the trend also found in other European countries. The study aims to promote the authentic traditional in a guest house representative for the sub - Carpathian Muntenia area. In this sense, we observe the development of rural tourism in the Sub Carpathian Muntenia area, presenting a case study based on a private tourism initiative. The guest house from "Satul Banului", Măgureni, Prahova, consists of a set of buildings organized in a specific smallholder property, which offers tourist services: accommodation, local gastronomy and tourist-cultural routes, all in the spirit of a peaceful, specific life. We argue for the traditional authentic value of each element, through a careful documentation that we will present punctually, using bibliographic references from the ethnographic and monographic literature as well as original local sources. Promoting the authentic Romanian, through a private initiative in tourism, proves to be a successful way, which draws attention to the traditional local specificity, helps to preserve the characteristic ethnographic elements.
