Fishing is one of the oldest occupations, which over the years has gone through several stages. In the economic terms the increase in intensive industrial system of the fish is advantageous because the specific energy consumption is low, given that they not need to maintain body temperature at high temperatures. Having regard to demographic trends in continue increasing, and the tendency of decrease fisheries leads to increased the production of aquaculture fish by order to ensure enough quantity and quality. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the evolution of fish production worldwide and in particular to show the evolution of production of fish from fisheries and aquaculture. To highlight the evolution global fish production given two ways to get fish respectively from aquaculture and fisheries, that have used data from FAOSTAT for 2007-2012. Also we can see that approximately 90% of the fish production is fished in the sea and only 10% in the territorial waters. The fish production in Africa had an ascending trend in the period under review. Analyzing fish production the share of total world continents is noted that Asia has a share of 68% in 2007 and increase to 73% in 2012.

Fishing is one of the tourist resources available to the Danube Delta area. Analysis of this resource highlights the link between this activity and the number of tourists arriving in the area contributes to the development of tourism in the Razim-Sinoe area. For this study, the statistical data provided by the National Statistics Institute, Tulcea County Department and the Danube Delta National Institute for Research and Development were used. The data were processed and converted into tables, graphs and then interpreted and analyzed. Ichtyofauna of the lagoon area is very diverse comprising dozens of species: catfish, carp, bream, crucian carp, rudd, rapacious, pike, zander, perch. Following the available data, there is a decrease by about 50 % in catches, between 2003-2013, both within each species and in total, from a quantity of 5,635 tons in 2003 to 2,307 tons in 2013. Catch experienced a dramatic drop caused by a number of shortcomings of fisheries. Such problems of fisheries are connected with the fishing law, but also with the fish marketing. Fishing facilities face a wide range of shortcomings of technical, organizational or management, making it difficult to start or materialize licensees projects. These deficiencies of fish facilities and that the authorities do not invest in their redevelopment, are observed in the number of tourists visiting this area, where there are 44 accommodation units. The number of visitors was 73,767 in the year 2014, of which 53,322 Romanian and 20,445 foreign tourists. The months with the highest number of tourists are July, August and September.

Food and drink represents the largest manufacturing sector in the EU and encouragingly has sustained positive growth. Even during the economic downturn, levels of employment in the food and drink industry remained quite stable. While the sector has excellent potential for artisan and specialty producers to establish, the lack of access to food grade workspace is a serious and inhibiting barrier to entry. Moreover, artisan food producers struggle to support the capital requirements of setting up a production facility. On the other hand, there is an abundance of underutilized properties in public and private ownership which could be re-imagined as vibrant Food Incubators but the promoters of same lack the skills and practical strategies to develop them. From this point of view, food incubators have the unique potential to spur productive, inclusive and sustainable economic development. They provide a strong foundation for the creation and expansion of food businesses and jobs by helping communities, Vocational Education and Training (VET) bodies, development agencies to revitalise underutilised buildings into powerhouses of food sector learning, innovation and production. The paper presents the project FITR – Food Incubators Transforming Regions, which seeks to forge an effective and replicable model to provide the learning and strategic structure to develop food kitchens and incubators as enterprise, training and support drivers at regional level.

Previous studies have established high food insecurity status among women compared to their male counterpart. Thus, this study examined the factors responsible for the high level of food insecurity status among female headed households in Nigeria. Secondary data obtained from Harmonized Nigeria Living Standard Survey (HNLSS) conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) was used for the study. Information from four thousand nine hundred and seventy nine (4,979) households was used for this study. The analytical techniques adopted include descriptive statistics, Foster Greer and Thorbeck and Tobit Regression Model. The results showed that most of the female headed households’ ages lie within the range 18-60 years and 66.62% of the household were predominantly in the rural sectors. Findings revealed that 59.1% of female headed households are food insecure. Identified determinants of food insecurity among female headed households include: age of household head, household size, gender and marital status. Food availability remained below the required levels for larger parts of the rural populace identified. It is recommended that group specific safety net measure directed towards the food insecure female headed households who are predominantly widows should be an option in tackling food insecurity.

The article is devoted to substantiation of the forecast scenarios of development of the internal consumer organic products market in Ukraine. The essence of organic agriculture as a complete system and management of agroecosystems, including the assessment of environmental threats and risks of environmental safety in the agricultural sector, and establishes the relationship between economic actors in the agricultural organic production. The current state and trends of the main indicators of organic agriculture development in Ukraine are analyzed. Taking into account probable economic changes and possible variants of the transformation of market conditions, we have grounded three basic adaptation scenarios for the development of domestic organic agriculture for the future: inertial, moderate and innovative. The prognostic model of indices of the internal consumer market of organic produce is suggested, which provides for their modeling based on multiple regression. The study of trends and the calculation of predictive values of independent variables of the model for the near future are based on the extrapolation method. Based on the model data of organic farming, a forecast of the internal consumer market in this area for the period up to 2022 has been made. The use of the proposed model will enable the formation of credible prospect balances of demand and supply on the organic market, depending on the factors of influence and scenarios of its development.

The urgency of this study is substantiated by the problems related to forecasting the development of the national food market and the need to increase the capacity of the food security system. The problem becomes especially urgent due to the need to improve its sustainability and competitiveness. That is why in order to solve the problems of developing the national food security system, it is important to understand strategic benchmarks where the forecasts are considered to be especially important substantiated development benchmarks. The reality level of substantiating parameters of the food market development in the forecast models depends on the degree of accounting resources of the food commodity groups, and the opportunities for their forecasting are the basis for the reality of the forecast development scenarios. That is why the approach offered in the article assumes the solution to an urgent and timely problem. The goal of this article is to substantiate methodological approaches to commodity group forecasting of the food market development as the most objective in the system of strategic food security management, and based on this, to substantiate offers on developing the national food security system. Defining strategic long-term forecasts of the national food security system development and parameters of the food market based on them is an important area of scientific studies based on a comprehensive analysis of the agro-food market's activity, identifying the existing problems and developing offers on improving management instruments. The objects of the study are strategically important commodity groups of the production food subsystem of the national economy and food resources of the market.

Chrysanthemum occupies an important place in the top of the cultivated flowers, due to its decorative qualities, being one of the most beautiful autumn plants. The chrysanthemum culture is of particular importance due to the period when it appears on the market, September-December, when other flowers are not found or are in insufficient quantities. Economic importance of the culture of chrysanthemums resides in the fact that it can be an important source of income due to density appropriate for the culture, the level of investment gains and values that can be obtained per unit area values are much higher compared to other agricultural crops. The paper analyses the economic efficiency of cultivation of chrysanthemums in the system of conventional agriculture and organic farming - weather 2018/2019 using indicators of profitability (gross rates of return, breakeven, etc.), which can influence which can influence the decision making required for the future production cycle.

Achieving a high level of competitiveness and sustainable development and the consolidation of a real democracy is requiring a balanced participation of women and men in all the areas of socio-political and economic development. The dissemination of the related studies shows that women are one of the groups of people vulnerable to the effects of transition. In this regard we note an increased rate of the long-term unemployment by limiting the access to jobs, generally the better paid but also by participating in the underground economy, it does not provide support and access to a social security system. Human capital, as an essential component of the intangible assets, constitutes a real mean of production and the future growth of investments in production. It is leaving, but not transferable as land, labor and capital assets. Investing in human capital is considered to be one of the most cost-effective and should be a priority for any community that you propose to support its sustainable economic and social development. Regardless of gender or age, human capital is and will remain the main source of economic growth and sustainable development.
