Full textAbstract:
World population growth is demanding ever-increasing production and productivity in the agricultural industry to meet the world's food needs. Whilst the biological sciences make the major contribution through agronomy, crop protection, harvesting and storage techniques, many of the advances in these spheres of research and development do not meet their full potential because the associated human factors issues are not fully addressed. The ergonomics needs of the three major levels of agricultural enterprise - smallholder (subsistence) agriculture, small-scale commercial farming and large-scale commercial farming - are considered and the nature of appropriate interventions for each of these levels outlined. Examples of potential interventions, based on ergonomics research and development are presented.

Full textAbstract:
The adoption of numerous agricultural development projects presupposes their assessment from the point of view of regulating its interaction with the natural environment. In the projects, the legislator's ideas and ideas about the combination of objective laws of nature and legal laws are visible, the importance of natural resources for the development of the agro-industrial complex is reflected, and the proper natural environment is perceived as a condition for further development of agriculture, and not as an object of protection. In general, preference is given to the impact of the natural environment on agriculture, rather than agriculture on the environment. Agricultural projects differ from environmental legislation aimed at ensuring environmental protection by the agro-industrial complex. In projects, as well as acts on the development of agriculture, priority is given to protecting the agro-industrial complex from the negative effects of the forces of nature, their use in the interests of improving food well-being, and not protecting the environment from pollution during agricultural production, although it becomes one of the most important pollutants of nature. Such a bias should be gradually corrected and agricultural development projects should include not only its dependence on nature, measures to overcome it, but also ways of conducting such agricultural production that will negatively affect the quality of the environment to a minimum.

<p>As the initiator of the Belt and Road Initiative, the Chinese Government’s goal in agriculture is to promote the sustainable development of agriculture throughout China and the world. One of the feasible ways to realize this goal is to adopt the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. This study aims to analyze the current status of agricultural PPP projects in China and their impacts. This study utilized the Ministry of Finance database to collect 2014 to 2022 data on agricultural PPP projects in China. The collected data were organized and analyzed to analyze the current situation and return mechanism of Chinese agricultural PPP projects. The results show that China’s agricultural PPP projects are less attractive than other sectors, government and social-private sector cooperation is less sustainable, and laws and regulations and risk assessment are not well developed. Therefore, this study proposes to promote the development of agricultural PPP projects by standardizing the law, improving the return mechanism, and strengthening the risk assessment. Thus, it further promotes the sustainable development of agriculture and plays a certain positive role.</p>

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 19, no. 20 (October 12, 2022): 13117. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijerph192013117.
Full textAbstract:
Under the dual pressure of ensuring global food security and coping with the effects of climate change, many countries have proposed projects of circular agriculture to mitigate the vulnerability of agricultural systems. However, due to the different utilizations of agricultural resources in different countries, there are still some important limitations and obstacles to the promotion of agricultural recycling technologies. This review discusses global circular agriculture projects from a social science perspective. We found that (1) current research on circular agriculture is concentrated in the field of natural sciences with a focus on technological upgrading, neglecting social, political and economic research; (2) top-down circular agriculture projects rely on infrastructure and technical inputs for management, which undermines the focus on public participation and is limited by the timing and intensity of state intervention; (3) the development model led by enterprises or associations relies on cooperation and benefit games with farmers, and its sustainability depends largely on changes in the regulation of the agricultural waste utilization system. Based on this, this review argues that circular agriculture projects are not only technical issues in the field of natural sciences, but also strongly influenced by social development. For future research, we strongly recommend cross-disciplinary cooperation, not limited to technology development.

Full textAbstract:
In response to the circumpolar region’s high levels of food insecurity, many Canadian communities have identified the development of local agriculture as a means to resolve the issue. Agricultural development is varied across the circumpolar region, an area which includes Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Nunavik (Quebec), and Nunatsiavut (Newfoundland and Labrador). This review explores the interregional differences in circumpolar agriculture, their historical development, and their relationship to prevailing biophysical, socioeconomic, and political conditions. Drawing upon local food strategies and literature pertaining to current agricultural initiatives, we discuss the future direction of circumpolar agriculture in Canada. Yukon and the Northwest Territories are the most agriculturally developed subregions of circumpolar Canada, and their territorial governments support the development of commercial agriculture. In Nunavut, Nunavik, and Nunatsiavut, relatively few agricultural initiatives are underway although local efforts have been made to establish community gardens or greenhouses and improve access to fresh commodities through subsidization of imported goods. Because of variability in biophysical, social, institutional, and political environments, strategies for food production would be most effective if tailored to each subregion. The continued development of agriculturally favorable policies and certified processing facilities in Yukon and the Northwest Territories could improve market access, both locally and out-of-territory. The eastern subregions (Nunavut, Nunavik, and Nunatsiavut) seem more inclined towards small, community-driven projects; these initiatives could be promoted to encourage community involvement for their long-term sustainability. Most studies on circumpolar agriculture have focused on the biophysical and social challenges; the region would benefit from additional research into the institutional and political barriers to agricultural development.

Taking the smart agriculture in Dasheng Town, Yubei District, Chongqing as an example, this study explores the enabling role of digital technology in the high-quality development of agriculture. By reviewing existing research and combining field investigations, this paper summarizes the positive impacts of digital technology on improving agricultural production efficiency, enhancing the quality of agricultural products, and promoting agricultural sustainability, as well as the successful experience of the Dasheng Town smart agriculture project, providing experience and inspiration for other regions to use digital technology to promote agricultural modernization better. Through these above, the goal of high-quality agricultural development is achieved. Concurrently, in response to the shortcomings identified during the project's implementation, this paper proposes feasible suggestions from multiple aspects, including strengthening talent cultivation and introduction in the field of smart agriculture, enhancing policy support and incentive mechanisms, and promoting collaboration and scaled production. These suggestions serve as references for how digital technology can empower high-quality agricultural development in agriculture and the development of other smart agriculture projects under the context of rural revitalization.

Full textAbstract:
This study analyzed the influence of socioeconomic factors on the performance of agricultural projects within Musanze District. This analysis followed a noticeable underperformance of agricultural projects particularly in Musanze District. The study sought to assess the influence of education and training on the performance of agriculture projects in Musanze District, measure the influence of transportation cost on the performance of agricultural projects in Musanze District and to as well assess the influence of inflation and exchange rate on the performance of agriculture projects in Musanze District and finally, to assess the influence of capital availability on the performance of agricultural projects in Musanze District. The total population of the study was 140 respondents. These comprised of farmers, agronomists, veterinarians and project staff. Out of this population a sample size of 104 individuals was determined based on Yamane formula (1967). A mixed research approach was adopted for the collection of both quantitative and qualitative data, while descriptive statistics and regression analysis were used for the data analyses. The findings indicated that all of the four (4) socio-economic factors identified in the study significantly influenced the performance of agricultural projects within Musanze District. The test results indicated the various coefficients and significance levels of the variables as follows: education and training (β=0.536 and P < 0.05): Transport cost (β=0.748 and P < 0.05): Inflation and exchange rate (β=0.536 and P< 0.05): Capital availability (β=0.555 and P < 0.05):. The findings explicitly showed that all of the factors have statistically positive linear relationships with project performance within the Musanze District, and further emphasized the significant influence of those factors on the performance of agricultural projects within the district.

Agriculture is the bedrock for combating poverty and developing rural areas. This motivated government policies on agriculture. This paper evaluated the performance of Fadama III in addressing food productivity and rural development in Rivers State. A critical review of secondary materials from Rivers State National Fadama III Development Programme Coordinating Office Report on implementation of National Fadama III projects in Rivers State formed the methodology for the study. It revealed the concept, approaches and implementation process of economic interest groups and government financial commitments to various farming activities in the local government areas. There were remarkable improvements in rural development in the participated local government areas. The assessment further revealed committed efforts by officers and management of the program which ensured effective implementation of rural infrastructure in participated communities. It is recommended that expenditure control measures adopted by the management of fadama program in Rivers State should be applied in future agricultural projects to ensure quality deliverables. The government should pursue only rural development-oriented agricultural policies, and finance projects that have certified Local Development Plans. Seemingly bottleneck criterion that would delay the release of funds should be relaxed for agricultural program managers to be proactive to beneficiaries’ requests and function effectively. Finally, the fadama program should be extended to increase communities’ dual opportunities of experiencing both agricultural and rural development.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the article was to present a systematic review of research and development projects that included research tasks and proposals relevant to digitalization of agriculture in Poland. The transformation towards digital agriculture is currently one of the most important developmental challenges facing farms in Poland. The use of digital technologies and smart devices designed to optimize agricultural production and farm management processes is no longer just a matter of choice, but a necessity determined by the need to achieve climate, environmental and sustainable development goals. Research and development works carried out in the wide agri-food innovation ecosystem are of fundamental importance for the prospects of exploiting the opportunities offered by the current technological and digital revolution. However, information on ongoing and past research and development projects financed from the public funds is dispersed. The conducted review shows that although the number of projects and actions that support digital transformation in the Polish agricultural sector has increased in recent years, their scope remains limited. There is an insufficient number of interdisciplinary projects that encompass not only technological, but also socio-economic aspects of digitalization processes. Taking into account the need to both accelerate digital transformation in agriculture and to promote responsible research and innovation practices, it would be advisable to increase outlays for research and development projects that would support digitalization of Polish farms in holistic and systemic ways.

Full textAbstract:
In this era of globalization, with social problems extending across social and geographical boundaries, partnerships between governments and international organizations are key to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Agriculture is essential to reducing poverty in Cameroon. Since 2002, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has contributed to agricultural development through various projects in Cameroon. However, research has not been conducted to determine the contributions of agricultural development to poverty reduction. The aim of this study is to outline current agricultural problems and international cooperation projects in Cameroon. A social inquiry involving the collection of qualitative and quantitative data was conducted to assess whether agricultural projects have contributed to increasing income and alleviating other multidimensional indicators of poverty amongst the beneficiaries. In this paper, we provide useful recommendations with respect to solving the problem of poverty and achieving the SDGs. The analysis revealed that agriculture projects have significantly contributed to an increase in income, wellbeing and standard of living of the project beneficiaries. African countries, such as Cameroon, need to address poverty by improving the agricultural sector because these nations cannot currently maintain a stable crop production. International cooperation in the agricultural sector can help to increase crop yields, incomes and quality of life.

Full textAbstract:
Agriculture is the practice of cultivating natural resources to sustain human life and provide economic gain. It blends innovative production techniques and cutting-edge technologies with the creativity, inventiveness, and expertise required for raising animals and cultivating crops. Agriculture has long been regarded as a major source of employment and revenue in rural areas, as well as a contributor to the spread of rural agriculture. Unemployment is a major issue in the country, notably in the Polokwane Local Municipality. It is worth emphasising that the country’s high levels of poverty and unemployment are getting worse every day. Agricultural farming is well-known for their contributions to job creation, increased farm revenue and poverty reduction. As a result, smallholder farmers can boost their production and revenue by forming cooperatives and jointly negotiating cheaper rates for inputs such as seeds, fertiliser and transportation. This paper sought to analyse innovative management of agricultural projects in South Africa. The study adopted a conceptual approach to analyse agricultural projects on sustainable community development. In the process, the literature has revealed that South Africa is facing a major challenge is the development of rural areas, many of which are seriously disadvantaged. Agricultural economists are well-placed to meet these challenges and to work with governments to develop agricultural policies to promote income growth in poor areas. The national and provincial departments of agriculture are both important employers of agricultural economists, who are involved with many varied tasks. Agricultural economists participate in the development of strategies designed to assist farmers who may previously have received little assistance from agricultural extension workers. Working on developing such strategies has many elements from promotion and market development through to pricing policies and agricultural finance. The study concludes with strategies for effective agricultural projects in South Africa.

Full textAbstract:
Agriculture is one of the most important economic sectors that societies have relied on since ancient times. The developing countries have reached now and late to smart agriculture, or precision agriculture, which uses the latest developments in the field of informatics and the internet of things. Many scientific projects have contributed to the development of smart agriculture, however, these projects focus on partial aspects without addressing other aspects. The application of the results of these projects becomes either a partial or a composite application of different heterogeneous works, which renders the desired results ineffective. Accordingly, this paper proposes a comprehensive reference regulatory approach for an advanced agricultural information system that accommodates the agricultural sector within its interconnected levels, public and private, and its various aspects (Monitor, Prediction, Optimization, Control) within a modern information technology vision based on the internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence and optimization technologies.

Government (GO) and Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) undertake agricultural development projects especially in Sub-Saharan Africa where agriculture-dependent livelihoods are predominant. Agricultural development has been accompanied by a theoretical debate vis-à-vis who is best placed to steer the process. Unfortunately, empirical evidence to refute or ramify the theoretical contestations are extremely limited. This article contributes to the literature by comparatively analyzing the effects of GO) and NGO–led agricultural development projects on social and economic capitals in Cameroon. Mixed methods were applied on stakeholders of four selected GO-led and four NGO-led development projects in Mezam division in the North West region of Cameroon, chosen due to its long history of having both GO and NGO-led agricultural development projects. A structured questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data from randomly selected 180 beneficiaries, including 90 from GO and 90 from NGO projects, and 120 project staff that is 15 (2 top, 5 middle and 8 lower management) per retained organization. Recall was applied to construct before-after comparisons with interviewees, in the absence of baseline information. In-depth interviews and observations were done with selected project staff and beneficiaries, respectively. Quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS version 25.0, while qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis. Results show significant increase in the growth of social and economic benefits for respondents from both GO and NGO-led projects (p < 0.05), though higher for NGO-led projects. The study concludes that agricultural development by both organizational types can enhance social and economic development. Further studies are needed to ramify these results. Comparative analyses between project staff and beneficiaries can highlight any differences in them, in terms of perceptive and actual impacts of GO and NGO-led agricultural projects on social and economic capitals. Comprehensive assessments based on all livelihood capitals are recommended to ground these contentions.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to present, by means of case studies, examples of activities in the field of multipurpose development businesses which, due to services offered, their location and recognition, can serve as good practices and provide inspiration for the development of such activities in rural areas of selected EU countries. A key aspect of multipurpose rural development is to shift from single-function development towards farm diversification in order to engage in and develop non-agricultural activities. The concept of multipurpose rural development, where agriculture is no longer the sole function of rural areas, has often become a panacea for maintaining the basic form of agriculture, especially in areas affected by severe fragmentation of agricultural land. The examples found in three countries (Poland, Spain and Romania) showed that agriculture can be combined with non-agricultural activities with environmentally-friendly, innovative and educational concepts. The analyzed cases also showed that entrepreneurship in rural areas is often carried out in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, and the multifunctional nature of these activities indicates that even small farms are able to survive. However, it is important that it is not only agricultural activity, but other activities connected with it, using natural and cultural resources of farms and villages, such as processing or education.

In Russia, the implementation of agriculture is carried out on the basis of investment projects by large agricultural holdings. In order to ensure the food security of our country, the chosen course has had its positive effects in the agricultural sector, but the issues of sustainability and further development of rural areas of Russia remain unresolved. Due to the lack and uneven distribution of public financing, which is mainly concentrated on the implementation of large investment projects, led to the following problems: - there is a reduction in the resource potential of half of the regions; - there is a limited development of the agro-economy; - genocide of rural territories. The current stage of development in our country needs a new approach to the development of rural areas and the agro-economy as a whole. As such, an inclusive approach is proposed, which is based on equal access to all opportunities for all agricultural producers and free interaction with the population of rural areas. The transition to an inclusive model should be ensured by a system of indicators that make up the rating (index) of inclusive development.

Full textAbstract:
In the last decade, many ICT projects in Indian agriculture have emerged, which either substitute or support extension services by enabling farmers' access to information. Information that is context specific to farmers' local situations can have important farm outcomes. The localization of content is influenced by how the ICT projects access, assess and deliver content. This paper develops a content development and management process framework, which is applied to six well-known ICT projects in Indian agriculture. Despite differences in scale, mechanisms of delivery and the extent of content localization, all projects use a network of experts in relevant fields to provide content. Yet, their collective knowledge cannot be tapped easily across the different platforms. To mainstream such ICT efforts and knowledge management in agriculture for rural livelihoods, a centralized search engine to access the dispersed agricultural information and network of experts is thus suggested.

Full textAbstract:
Agricultural development projects are used by governments of countries as a strategy for community development and job creation. In the developing countries, agricultural projects are the leading edge of rural development. These development projects however require huge capital outlay from governments. There are evidences in literature which report that in developing countries huge sums of money are being lost through agricultural projects that end up failing, and South Africa’s government is no exception to this trend. In South Africa, particularly in the province of the Eastern Cape, agricultural development projects are implemented through the existing participation between farmers and extension officers under government programme. The records of these agricultural development projects in the Eastern Cape province is mixed, whilst some succeed, most also fail to achieve their goals. This paper assessed the cause of why South African government funded agricultural project fail in the province of the Eastern Cape, particularly in the Raymond Mhlaba Municipality. The overall results of this study revealed that about 54.9% of the projects that the respondents were involved in have failed. This study identified the top five factors that for failure of the government funded agricultural projects. They are Supervision, Communication, Monitoring, Political interference and Commitment to project respectively. Government funded agricultural projects in the Raymond Mhlaba Municipality registered some minimal impact therefore discouraging and decreasing willingness of farmers or communities to participate in government funded projects. In the area under study most of agricultural projects failed to achieve objectives and collapsed. Others are struggling to survive and become sustainable.

The ADPs were designed in response to a fall in agricultural productivity and hence a concern to sustain domestic food supplies. The study examined “Financing Agriculture in Nigeria through Agricultural Extension Services of Agricultural Development Programmes.” It sought to ascertain the extent to which agricultural extension services of the agricultural development programmes have impacted the financing of agriculture in six selected local government areas in Edo South senatorial district, Nigeria using a sample of 120 respondents. Stratified random sampling was used to select the respondents. Interview schedule served as the research instrument. The research data were analyzed using t-test and Pearson correlation, which served as the inferential statistics. The research findings showed that the extension services of ADP have impacted significantly on crop development in the selected communities but have not had significant impact on employment creation and the development of infrastructural facilities. The study also revealed that there was no significant difference between the implementation of the projects in the selected communities, as revealed by the correlation test. On the basis of the research findings, the need for a complete redesign of the project to ensure that it achieves its stated goals as well as ensure proper monitoring of its implementation were suggested, among others.

The study also revealed that there was no significant difference between the implementation of the projects in the selected communities, as revealed by the correlation test. On the basis of the research findings, the need for a complete redesign of the project to ensure that it achieves its stated goals as well as ensure proper monitoring of its implementation were suggested, among others.

The ADPs were designed in response to a fall in agricultural productivity and hence a concern to sustain domestic food supplies. The study examined “Financing Agriculture in Nigeria through Agricultural Extension Services of Agricultural Development Programmes.” It sought to ascertain the extent to which agricultural extension services of the agricultural development programmes have impacted the financing of agriculture in six selected local government areas in Edo South senatorial district, Nigeria using a sample of 120 respondents. Stratified random sampling was used to select the respondents. Interview schedule served as the research instrument. The research data were analyzed using t-test and Pearson correlation, which served as the inferential statistics. The research findings showed that the extension services of ADP have impacted significantly on crop development in the selected communities but have not had significant impact on employment creation and the development of infrastructural facilities.

The article deals with the conceptual framework for the development of public-private partnership (PPP) in the agricultural sector of Ukraine. The author substantiates the need to reorient the model of agricultural development to the principles of deeper interaction between the State and business, one of the key mechanisms for ensuring which is PPP, which is carried out on a contractual basis to achieve a common goal by combining resources to obtain certain benefits for each participant. The purpose of the study is to develop a conceptual framework for the development of PPPs in the agricultural sector of Ukraine. The study shows a low level of implementation of PPP projects (18 projects out of 193, or 9,3 %) and its rather slow development in our country's economy, mainly due to legislative obstacles. It is substantiated that in the current conditions the issue of partnership development is extremely relevant, since budgetary funds are not enough to implement large-scale projects in wartime. Therefore, involvement of private partners and the use of mechanisms for building long-term relationships with them is essential. The author emphasizes the need for real changes in the implementation of PPP investment projects in agriculture, clarification of the tools for ensuring its development and their adaptation to sectoral issues, which requires the development of a Concept for the Development of Public-Private Partnership in the Agricultural Sector of Ukraine. The study argues that it is necessary to develop a unified approach to the development of PPPs, to determine the priority areas of application of such partnerships and the specifics of its use in solving the problems of agricultural development. The main factors hindering the development of such cooperation are identified and the main objectives of the Concept for the Development of Public-Private Partnership in the Agricultural Sector of Ukraine are substantiated. It is proved that improvement of PPP procedures will help to expand the scope of its application, accessibility, speed and scale of projects, as well as adaptation of such an investment support mechanism to the conditions of wartime/peace time. The article summarizes the main ways of activating PPPs as a mechanism for attracting investment in the reconstruction and development of the agricultural sector of Ukraine's economy. The fulfillment of these tasks will contribute to the revitalization of the use of PPPs in solving the problems of agricultural production development, development of the institutional framework for its implementation in Ukraine, in particular, the adoption of strategic directions for this development in the short and long term. Key words: state, concept, private partner, public-private partnership, agricultural sector, PPP projects, investment resources, development.

Abstract Rural tourism is one of the opportunities, which can positively influence productivity and incomes in rural areas. European Union set the rural development as part of its priorities. This development has been conducted through several measures aimed at education, cooperation, municipality development, ecological agriculture, diversification of economic activities, etc. Rural tourism is a result of diversification of economic activities towards non-agricultural activities. The paper focuses on analysing financial tools of support used for rural tourism development. Development projects realized in the Nitra Self-governing Region (NSR) during programming period 2007 - 2013 (plus 2 years) are evaluated. These projects have been financed through different grant schemes created by the European Union (realised by Ministries, Local Action Groups, Agricultural Paying Agency) and also by the Nitra Self-governing Region. The paper also illustrates the localisation of approved projects and their purpose.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the research is to develop a scientifically based system for assessing and allocating unused agricultural lands for the creation of organic agriculture projects. The Methods. The working hypothesis of the research is based on the assumption of the possibility of priority development of unused lands, including the former reclaimed agricultural ones for organization of organic agricultural production. The subject of the research is systemic and methodological aspects and algorithms for the allocation of unused agricultural plots, as well as the development of projects for the production of organic products on these lands. The Results. The research proposed an algorithm for assessing the possibility of using waste and fallow lands for creating organic agriculture projects on their basis, which includes several groups of assessments, including general assessments, geo-oriented assessments, environmental assessments, sanitary and phytosanitary assessments. The results of these studies are an exhaustive information base for developing a well-grounded judgment on the possibility of using cultivated land in the implementation of new projects of organic agriculture. The result of solving the algorithm is the implementation of one of two outcomes, the first of which allows you to form a reasonable judgment about the compliance of the land plot with the principles of organic agriculture, and the second rejects this assumption. Assessment of the possibility of using the land under development in organic agriculture projects is the input research block of the enlarged algorithm for creating organic production. Work is carried out on four enlarged blocks in a sequence regulated by the architecture of the proposed algorithm. At each stage, the creation of a project may be rejected, for which special groups and methods of evaluation are used. The Conclusions. Carrying out research in accordance with the architecture of the developed algorithms allows, at the lowest cost, to develop optimal solutions for the creation and implementation of an organic agriculture project on cultivated, previously unused, agricultural lands.

For approximately four decades, the Angolan gov-ernment has favored investment policies based on national corporations, policies which are changing in recent years due to the appeal for foreign direct investment. In this context, this article intends to reflect on agricultural investment policies in Angola, aiming above all to understand the growth trend of agribusiness and the various competing projects for agricultural development. This reflection implies considerations about these projects and the agricul-tural policies implemented over the past 40 years and the effects of the recent government developments to promote private investment in agriculture in the post-civil war period.

Full textAbstract:
How to assess the impacts of agricultural development projects is an evaluator's dilemma. Anthropologists who carry out such analyses often find that their field time is too short for careful, systematic coverage. Some object to the resulting studies, which they term "quick and dirty," and opt out of applied work. This reaction, however, does not discharge the obligation to reliably inform donors whether, where, and to what extent project activities have benefited local participants. Happily, there are scientifically responsible ways in which the challenge can be met and by which one can continue to do practical anthropology. This report on evaluation of an agricultural development project in Zaire provides one brief example in the hope that it will stimulate others to share their knowledge of rapid assessment methods and, in the process, increase the visibility and value of practical anthropology in public and private donor agencies.

The article examines the main problems facing the development of competitive agriculture, given the dynamism of investment in the industry and investment in the current environment of increasing globalization, as the introduction of innovative products is the basis for effective development of the enterprise, region and country. The analysis of the main indicators that characterize the level of investment support of enterprises of Lviv region, in particular the volume of capital investments and the volume of foreign direct investment. The volumes of agricultural output in enterprises and households of the population, and, accordingly, the possibility of attracting investment by these categories of producers are considered. The main problems of agricultural production are characterized and the directions of intensification of investment and innovation activity are offered, taking into account the support of the state, foreign economic potential of the region, its border location and export-oriented production. Innovative development of agriculture, expanding the ways of its investment are among the factors that play a crucial role in ensuring the balanced development of the region, building strategic prospects for its economic growth, identifying internal problems and obstacles to this process, and adequately assessing the potential of local resource levels. It is considered that the priority in today's conditions is the introduction of technologies for environmentally friendly cultivation of crops and the development of organic production, development of infrastructure for storage and distribution of agricultural products by attracting investment projects. It is important for agricultural producers to adapt to international food quality and safety standards and to produce agricultural products that meet EU requirements and standards. The model of strategic goals of innovative development of agriculture is offered, which aims to promote effective optimization of agricultural production, development of production infrastructure on the basis of state assistance and support, taking into account the stimulation of investment projects and attracting foreign funds.

Since the seventies, project managers have tried to incorporate farmers as active participants in projects. These efforts have been only partially successful. Typically, farmers' resources have been used, farmers have been interviewed, but farmers have not had a decisive role in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the projects. In this paper, I will attempt to address the issue of farmer participation in large-scale development programs initiated by nongovernmental organizations. Large-scale programs are defined here as those that can benefit over one thousand households. In particular, I seek to define the extent to which farmers can actively and conclusively participate in the design and implementation of development projects. I differentiate several forms of participation that can be basically placed into two groups: 1) those that inform, consult, and mobilize farmers in ways that facilitate the work of the implementing agency, and 2) those that promote the development of the analytical and problem-development skills of farmers through their active participation in project decision-making. I will point out that there is an apparent inherent contradiction between the way in which development projects are generally planned and implemented, and the active participation of beneficiaries in the definition of the project. I will show that this contradiction can be overcome. Grounding the discussion on the experience of some of CARE's Agricultural and Natural Resource projects (ANR), I will describe some project features that seem to be more conducive to facilitating the definition and implementation of project goals and activities jointly between project beneficiaries and agency staff. I will ground the discussion on the experience of some of the Agricultural and Natural Resource projects of CARE International (CARE stands for Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere) to describe some project features that seem to be more conducive to facilitating the definition and implementation of project goals and activities jointly between project beneficiaries and agency staff.

The article analyzes the current state of the agricultural sector of Ukrainian economy, its place in the formation of gross domestic product, the trend of changes in agricultural productivity, its role in reducing the negative impact of the economic crisis in 2020 and the main trends in the agricultural sector. The aim of the study is to analyze existing approaches to the formation of state policy for the development of the agricultural sector through public-private partnerships and to develop practical measures to enhance the development of strategic partnerships between public and private owners in the agricultural sector. Existing approaches aimed at the development of the agricultural sector should use the opportunities to attract additional resources, which can be achieved through public-private partnership models. The peculiarities of public-private partnership in the agricultural sector, which is aimed at the implementation of priority infrastructure projects to develop production, storage and marketing of agricultural products; implementation of food security; development of value chains were analyzed. The main forms of implementation of public-private partnership projects used in world practice are identified. Attention is focused on the need to use public-private partnership in the agricultural sector based on strategic management within the general economic policy of the state. The advantages of using the tools of public-private partnership in the field of agricultural sector are substantiated and the directions of its development are determined. The main approaches to the formation of the state policy for the development of the agro-industrial complex through public-private partnerships have been identified, which provide for the increase in the profitability of production, the implementation of the country's export potential, the improvement in the investment climate, the increase in the competitiveness of agriculture, the improvement in the legislative framework, and innovative development.

In the last two decades, developing countries in the Asian and Pacific region have made large investments in agricultural, irrigation and rural development projects. Many of the projects have been assisted by bilateral and multilateral development agencies. While the rapid progress in agricultural and rural development in the region since the mid-1960s can be directly associated with these investments, the performance of many projects has fallen short of expectations. This situation has led to increasing attention being given to the design and implementation of projects. As a result, new initiatives have been taken to improve the performance of projects. These range from efforts to increase the participation of beneficiaries in the designing and operations of projects to improvements in project management procedures and skills. This article focuses on one initiative that has implications for almost all efforts to improve the efficiency of these investments, namely, monitoring and evaluation of the benefits of development projects…

The paper considers the methodological aspects of organizing a strategic planning system for the development of the agricultural sector. The actualization of issues of organizing a strategic planning system for the agricultural sector is caused by the fact that the strategic planning system has a well-developed regulatory basis at the federal level, while there is no unified system of documents for strategic planning of industry development at the regional level. Currently, the strategic planning system does not have strategic documents related to the spatial development of regions, their agrofood complex, rural areas, and technical and technological development of agriculture. The purpose of the study is to develop methodological approaches to organizing a system of strategic planning for the development of the agricultural sector in the region. The paper analyzes a set of documents of the strategic planning system of the agricultural sector at the federal level, which is based on strategies and concepts, forecasts, and programs. The author proposes a system of documents for strategic development planning in relation to the agricultural sector of the region. The paper presents a comprehensive methodological approach to organizing a system of strategic planning for the development of the regional agricultural sector, which involves distinguishing the following main stages: strategic analysis; substantiation of the goals and objectives of spatial and sectorial development of the agricultural sector and their formalization; justification of priority sectors of agricultural production; forecasting the volume of agricultural production and agricultural sector resourcing; assessing the level of food self-sufficiency in the region and forecasting the development of the regional agrofood market. The author paid particular attention to design methods of the strategic planning system at the regional level. The procedure for selecting projects ensuring the implementation of agricultural development programs is justified. The paper proposes a procedure for selecting projects developed at the level of business entities and selected for financing based on a comprehensive assessment of their effectiveness. A comprehensive assessment of the projects’ effectiveness involves the use of criteria reflecting their budgetary, commercial and social effectiveness.

Introduction. The reflection of the interrelationships and orderliness of the processes during the implementation of projects is a general methodology of project management, which has so far acquired a world-class definition as an acceptable and appropriate management standard. For business entities, the implementation of individual innovation projects or their portfolios is relevant. At the macroeconomic level, it is advisable to consider programs that are a set of interrelated projects by objectives, where the implementation of each of them determines the possibility of implementing the other. In this aspect, programs often acquire a socio-economic character of development, where projects within are aimed at both commercial gain and the solution of social problems. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the process of portfolio management of innovative projects in the agricultural sector of the economy and the characteristics of the main tools within the relevant management mechanism. Results. Special features of portfolio, program and project management are highlighted. A comparison of existing approaches to justifying the choice of project portfolio is made. The key processes to be implemented during the implementation of the portfolio of innovative projects are highlighted. The most common procedures for substantiating the portfolio of innovative projects are summarized. Based on the generalization, taking into account the specifics of agro-innovative projects, a sequence of processes for substantiating the project portfolio is proposed. The peculiarities of this decomposition are the definition of its components: the processes of project identification in the portfolio, categorization of components, component evaluation, selection of components, determination of time characteristics and budget development, as well as portfolio balancing. For each of the outlined processes, the appropriate inputs, outputs and support tools are listed. The principle of effective portfolio management of innovative projects is also highlighted and their content is explained. Keywords: innovations, innovative projects, innovation management, tools of innovation implementation, innovative development of the agricultural sector.

82.3% of the population of Sabu Raijua Regency work as farmers with a high level of need for water but the geographical conditions of Sabu Island are not able to support this activity because the majority consists of dry land with a percentage of 97.51% and the number of rainy days is approximately only 100 days per year so The Government of Sabu Raijua Regency built hundreds of ponds to provide for agricultural activities, but the weak sustainability of the reservoir development projects in Sabu Raijua Regency is a separate problem. The method used in this study is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach with a total of 76 people who were determined purposively then the primary and secondary data collected were analyzed using data analysis techniques from Creswell (2016). The sustainability of the pond development projects in Sabu Raijua Regency was analyzed using the Methodology in Sustainable Development Indicators (Department of Economic and Social Affairs, 2001:14). The inhibiting factors for the sustainability of the pond development project in Sabu Raijua Regency consist of a minimal budget, less effective institutional governance and climate and geographical conditions so that the authors formulate a model for the sustainability of the pond development project in Sabu Raijua Regency which includes 3 dimensions, namely the policy dimension, the resource dimension and the relationship dimension between institutions.

The importance of agriculture especially in a developing country cannot be over-emphasised. It had been the mainstay of the Nigerian economy since the colonial period. Apart from subsistence farming which catered for the food needs of the local population, Nigeria had exported cash crops in the past.Unfortunately, the blessings of the oil boom have diverted our attention from agriculture in the past decade with the consequent neglect of it. But the dwindling fortunes of oil appear to have induced us to switch our attention once again to agriculture.To this end, some practical steps have been taken by Government to encourage investment in agriculture. These include subsidising fertilisers and seeds for farmers, the establishment of various Agricultural Development Projects, the Communal Farm Programmes and the establishment of various River Basins Development Authorities. Other recent measures include tax relief for agro-allied projects; tax holidays for investors in combined agricultural productions and processing; capital allowances for capital expenditure on plant and equipment for, and equipment leasing to, agriculture; removal of import duties on tractors and other agricultural machinery and equipment and increased foreign equity participation within the framework of the Enterprises Promotion Decree.

Full textAbstract:
Perception towards development projects being introduced or implemented in an area tends to differ among community members, with some projects being perceived negatively and others positively. Understanding local communities’ perceptions towards agricultural projects and factors that influence these perceptions is important because the perception of a project has a bearing on participation in the same. However, more often than not, local communities’ perceptions do not receive as much attention as they deserve. This study surveyed the communities’ perceptions toward agricultural projects in Kishapu District. Data were collected from 100 respondents through a questionnaire survey and from 6 participants through key informant interviews and focus group discussions. Descriptive statistics, binary logistic regression model and content analysis were employed for data analysis. Results show that most of the respondents had a positive perception toward agricultural projects because the projects contribute to community development. Drivers of positive community perception are involvement in previous agricultural projects, education, access to information and farm size. Therefore, community perception toward agricultural projects hinges on the extent to which similar projects have benefited the community in the past. Thus, to achieve positive community perceptions towards agricultural projects, there is a need for project implementers to ensure that projects improve people’s living standards. Moreover, there is a need to ensure community members are well informed of the projects regardless of their literacy level and that innovative practices to benefit farmers regardless of their farm sizes are promoted
