THE CONDITION OF LANDS OF AGRICULTURAL DESIGNATION IN THE KROV REGION
The article examines scientific approaches to future forecasting for meat and meat products production at the regional level, the optimization of the agricultural land use being the best strategy for replacing imported consumer food products
В статье рассмотрены научные подходы по прогнозированию на региональном уровне в будущем мяса и мясопродуктов через оптимизацию сельскохозяйственного землепользования как основного фактора импортозамещения продуктов питания для населения.
Efficiency indicators of farmlands use
The review of efficiency indicators of farmlands use was given. Their classification was analyzed and positive and negative sides of their various kinds were considered. Efficiency dependence of farmland use on value of specialization factor was investigated. Offers on perfection of system of the indicators characterizing rationality and efficiency of application of farmlands were made and also new approaches to an estimation of economic efficiency of their use were offered. The research was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus.
Substantiation of the sizes of the central farmsteads of the agricultural organizations
In course of the research there was resulted the developed model of optimization of the sizes of land tenure of the agricultural enterprises. The research was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. As a result of realized research the optimum sizes of land tenure of the agricultural organizations with combinational organizational-industrial structure for average conditions of republic were established.

An Analysis of the Role of Tile-Drained Farmland Under Alternative Nitrogen Abatement Policies
Agricultural nitrogen is a major contributor to Gulf of Mexico hypoxia, and research has shown that agricultural subsurface tile drainage is a major carrier of nitrogen from croplands to streams and rivers. This study compares the results of abating nitrogen under a retired-land minimization policy with those of a new revenue-maximizing policy, paying particular attention to the role of tile-drained land.
Planning as trigger for land use changes
In Poland significant changes in landscape intensified after the political transformation in late 1980’s. One of the signs of the changes are more transformations of agricultural land into developed land (industry, housing, services). At the same time, abandoned land started overgrowing with trees and brushwood. These are a result of changes in living and housing conditions, technical progress and changes in legislation. Local spatial plan is a planning act that defines the designation of the land in Poland.
THE CAUSAL STRUCTURE OF LAND PRICE DETERMINANTS
This paper investigates causation contemporaneously and over time to elucidate the persistent lack of agreement about what "causes" changes in farmland prices. Using recently developed causal modeling framework of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) and cointegrated (VAR) techniques, the assumed causal structures of existing structural and empirical models are tested directly. The results validate concerns about the nonstationarity of these series. Land price changes are found to respond to a small subset of the oft-cited causes of price change, including macroeconomic variables.
State regulation of the agricultural land market in modern Russia
The reform of the 90s led to the elimination of states monopoly of landownership and to the privatization of most agricultural lands. Within the small auxiliary sector of agricultural land the turnover arose in the early reform. But in the large agro-industrial sector, the turnover of lands received the necessary legal regulation only in 2003 (more than 10 years later than the mass privatization of these lands). For this type of turnover, a significant part of the regulatory mechanisms was borrowed from foreign experience, because the domestic experience was absent.
Community education and integrated organization of rural areas based on land consolidation processes in Poland
Any activities aimed at rural area development should not disregard the inhabitants who are "the tools" that implement given mechanisms. To a large extent, the effectiveness of social activities is determined by the participants’ expectations towards the projects and their knowledge of the subject. Land consolidation projects are the ideal tools for rural development. Land consolidation may be described as the planned readjustment of land ownership patterns with the aim of creating larger and more rational land holdings.
The rent of agricultural lands: experience and prospects of development
In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed and systematized the experience of development of rent of agricultural lands in foreign countries. One of the most important directions of land ownership rights realization is land lease – one of the most economically sensible and efficient forms of land tenure. There were established the advantages and necessary conditions for the efficient inclusion of land lease relations in the field of land tenure into market mechanisms. There was suggested a complex variant of development of the rent of lands in agricultural production.
