The poultry sector provides numerous benefits in the social, economic, and health domains, but is currently facing a major issue: information pollution. It is among the sectors most affected by information pollution globally, a phenomenon fueled by the rapid advancement of communication technologies. Information pollution has become a major challenge of our time, causing harm to the consumer market through its negative impact on consumer perceptions and behaviors. Turkey is an interesting case for studying the impact of information pollution on poultry consumers, as it is among the top 10 countries in poultry production and exports, and experiences intense information pollution in the sector. The primary objective of this study is to examine the impact of information pollution on Turkish poultry consumers and to explore potential solutions to this problem. The study surveyed 384 consumers from Ankara and İzmir and found that consumer perceptions and views of poultry differ significantly from those of the producer companies and the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. A significant proportion of respondents reported reducing their poultry consumption after hearing negative news. The groups most likely to reduce their consumption are women, housewives, and people over the age of 55. Given its significant and serious impact on consumers, efforts must be made to address this issue.

In 2022, on the chernozem from Caracal, in the wheat soils sown on 1,100 ha in the production farms of SCDA Caracal, the non-didactic department of the University of Craiova, in two locations: Caracal and Stoenești, FOLIQ 36 Nitrogen was administered to 7 wheat varieties: Glosa, Otilia, Izvor, Avenue, Gabrio, Euclide and Caro line. Leaf samples were taken from 13 physical blocks (one not treated with foliar fertilizer and 12 fertilized with foliar in two doses) in accordance with the leaf sampling instructions approved by the Analitycal Services Laboratory of Yara UK Limited-Packlington. Macro- and micro-nutrients were determined by laboratory analysis in England as follows: nitrogen (%), phosphorus (%), potassium (%), calcium (%), magnesium (%), sulphur (%), iron (ppm), zinc (ppm), manganese (ppm), boron (ppm), copper (ppm), molybdenum (ppm). Interpretation of the results showed that a dose of 1 l/ha significantly increased the zinc content, iron content and nitrogen content of the plant; significantly distinctive also the copper and sulphur content of the plant was increased; very significantly increased were the boron content and phosphorus content of the plant. The same dose also influenced yield very significantly. In general, Gabrio, Avenue and Euclide varieties showed high yields but also high nitrogen, boron, copper, calcium and phosphorus contents.

The article examines the innovative activities of agricultura lenterprises on the territory of Ukraine, in particular the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (DJI Agras T30 multicopter). The policy of the leading Ukrainian company Ukrland farming in the field of balanced land use and effective development of the agro-industrial complex was studied. The criteria used in the development of the plant nutrition system have been formed. Advantages were formed in the performance of works on the application of nutrients and plant protection with the help of the Agras T30 multicopter. Proposals were made to increase the level of resource-saving activities of agro-industrial complexes due to the use of alternative methods of agricultural production, namely organic farming, biointensive mini-farming, biodynamic farming, ecological agriculture, EM technologies, established agriculture with low resource intensity, precision agriculture. The existence of an economic-mathematical model of the influence of the use of innovative technologies, in particular, the use of the DJI Agras T30 multicopter, on the dynamics of indicators of the efficiency of the cultivation of cultivated areas of agricultural enterprises has been formed and substantiated.

The profitability of maize cultivation depends on the production yield of this crop. This paper presents the analysis of the yield and profitability of maize cultivation in three crop farms of different sizes in Romania. From the analysis carried out, a number of results are obtained, which lead to the conclusion that in order to reach the profitability threshold, the production in the 60 ha farm would have to be at least 133.26 tons of maize in 2019, at least 85.83 tons of maize in 2020, and at least 165.56 tons of maize in 2021; in the 600 ha farm, the production in 2019 would have to be at least 2.350.23 tons of maize in 2019, 2,198.44 tons of maize in 2020, and 3,172.33 tons of maize in 2021; and in the 3,000 ha farm, the production should have been at least 4,157.75 tons of maize in 2019, 4,424.70 tons of maize in 2020, and 6,284.46 tons of maize in 2021. These productions were made only by the farm of 3,000 ha, which had a constant profitability of the maize crop, exceeding the profitability threshold every year, as follows: in 2019 with 2,216.85 tons of maize, in 2020 with 2,738.60 tons of maize and in 2021 with 3,887.34 tons. On farms of 60 ha and 600 ha, the profitability threshold could not be reached, in most cases, the major causes being of agropedoclimatic and economic nature. The conclusion of the analysis carried out was that, in order to have a constant profitability of the maize crop, it is necessary to counteract the drought by introducing irrigation to this crop, reducing production expenses and increasing the value of subsidies, so that the gross product highlights the profitability of the maize crop.

Animal husbandry is a traditional activity and an important source of income in the hilly and mountainous areas of Romania, which also supports secular activities in these places. In the context of the EU directives, animal husbandry must be combined with environmental protection actions without losing its importance and traditional elements. The Common Agricultural Policy 2021-2027 through the National Rural Development Programme offers broad support to the livestock sector, but also imposes certain restrictions, as manure from animal husbandry has a negative impact on soil and underground waters through nitrite and nitrate pollution. The article analyses the dynamics of cattle and sheep and goat herds from Romania's mountain area in the period 2015-2021 and the annual amounts of manure that can be obtained from these species. Some methods of using polluting products from animal husbandry are presented, such as using them in biogas plants and obtaining fertilizers from processed manure, which can contribute to the sustainable development of rural areas.

We investigated the contribution to economic growth emerging from Ghana’s investment intodomestic agriculture. To this effect, time series data spanning 1965 to 2020 was used. For data analysis, stationarity was achieved using Augmented Dicky-Fuller and Phillips-Perron test; the ARDL bounds approach adopted for cointegration; finally, the Error Correction Model and Granger causality test were used for determining the long-run and short-run causal effects. From the results, in both long-run and short-run, the nation’s domestic agricultural investment was not a positive contributor to economic growth. Positive contribution to economic growth was from investment in other sectors (industrial and service sectors) and trade openness index. Moreover, government expenditure index contributed negativelyto economic growth. In the short-run, unidirectional causality was from economic growth to government expenditure index, other sector investments to economic growth, and economic growth to trade openness index. In this study, we strongly advocate for considerable government domestic investment into the agricultural sector besides other sector investments, and further relaxing trade policies since it is the only surety to achieving the government’s two-fold agenda of zero tolerance for hunger and poverty while simultaneously increasing agriculture’s contribution to economic growth with partial dependence on donor funds.

The article presents the results of studying the reaction of the early maturing medium-fiber cotton variety Pidozerskyi 4 to the sowing rate and row width under different conditions of moisture supply in the Southern Steppe of Ukraine. The scheme of the experiment included soil moisture conditions: natural moisture and watering at 70% of the lowest moisture content (LM); row width 30, 60, 90 cm; sowing rate of 250, 300 and 350 thousand pieces/ha. Studies have shown that the formation of the number of pods on a plant that opened before harvesting was significantly influenced by the rate of seed sowing, with an increase in which the indicators of the number of pods decreased on average by 43.9% in the experiment, and regardless of the conditions of soil moisture and width row spacing. The variability of the effective signs of the mass formation of the boll of pre-freeze raw cotton depended by 25.0% on the humidification conditions, by 15.0% - on the width of the rows, and by 16.0% - on the seeding rate; yield of domestic raw cotton - by 66.0% from the conditions of wet supply, by 3.0% - from the width of the rows and by 9.0% - from the sowing rate. The significant influence of irrigation on the yield formation of frozen raw cotton was determined. The increase in yield on irrigated plots at the seeding rate of 300,000 units/ha was: for row widths of 30 cm – 17%, for 60 cm – 18%, for 90 cm – 22%, compared to non-irrigated options. Raw cotton production is highly effective, the profitability level is 63-69%.

In a world increasingly shaped by data, its exponential growth demands global organizations to swiftly embrace and synchronize with the prompt evolution of our lives. Innovations in storage technology, the advent of IoT (Internet of Things), and the emerging regulations of the European Union, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), all underscore how "Big Data" propels economic transformation. Amid the rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence and technology, Europe's digital overhaul assumes paramount importance, as recent crises underscore the urgency for more effective alternatives that fuel the imperative shift towards sustainability. The concept of "Big Data" has been integrated as a central pillar in the EU's digital transformation strategy, set for 2030, and consequently, within the ambit of its green strategy. This sector's inherent opportunities contribute to the EU's pursuit of climate neutrality by 2050. At its core, "Big Data" involves the amalgamation of extensive and diverse information, subjected to algorithmic analysis to drive decision-making. The data's significance extends beyond economic implications, permeating diverse domains such as safety, health, agriculture, environment, law, and even individual contexts, thereby accentuating the intrinsic essence of "Big Data”. This paper addresses the intricate demands posed by the rapid expansion of this type of data, which is experiencing exponential growth in terms of accessibility and automated integration within digital landscapes. Its efficacy is contingent upon not merely the escalating capabilities of technology to facilitate the accumulation and retention of substantial data quantities, but also on its proficiency to conduct thorough analysis, comprehension, and effective utilization of the data's complete worth.

The research was carried out in 2022 in the Valea with Drum hydrographic basin, located on the Buzău county, in the area of Aldeni - Romania. The Station for the Study of Soil Erosion, established in 1971, operates in this perimeter. Starting from the fact that the intensity of the erosion phenomenon is determined by: precipitation, the slope and length of the slopes, the degree of erodibility of the soil and the agricultural practices used, research in the field of erosion has become very important in this area. The research carried out within this stationary follows a complex range of processes such as: quantifying runoff and erosion processes on sloping land produced by torrential rains, the influence of crops and cultivation technologies on erosion processes, on the Chernozem subtype argic. The main objectives of this study were to present and interpret the data regarding the annual rainfall regime and the vegetation period, the study of the rains that produced runoff and erosion, respectively the surface runoff determined by these rains and the annual amount of soil washed from the plots control, differentially cultivated. The analysis of the experimental results shows that the year 2022 was dry, the recorded temperatures exceeded 22.6 0C in the May-September period, out of 46 rains recorded at the station during the summer period, 60.9 % were less than 5 mm. Quantitative and qualitative study of the erosion process allowed the assessment of the amount of material washed from the soil surface (this being 26 t ha-1 on a 15% slope and 28.1 t ha-1 on a 20 % slope recorded in uncultivated plots) by the runoff produced by the rains that fell during the summer.

The study presents the main trends in the Romanian tomato market in the last decade. In order to identify trends in the tomato market, national and regional studies were carried out and a number of indicators were analyzed, including cultivated area, tomato production, average yield per hectare, base price, tomato consumption, but also the foreign trade of tomatoes (export and import). The processing methods included: descriptive statistics regarding mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation and annual growth rate. Although the area cultivated with tomatoes decreased by approximately 30%, the average production per hectare reached 21,681 kg/ha in 2021, an increase of 40%. However, Romania's tomato market currently has a significant deficit in the trade balance (approximately 112,694 thousand euros in 2021). For this reason, it is necessary to stimulate productivity growth and increase efficiency along the chain of agri-food products by investing in modern agricultural exploitation.
