This book was released on 2018-08-10 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997, this volume responds to the challenges faced in post-Communist Eastern Europe in the privatization and decollectivisation of agriculture.

This book was released on 2021-06-18 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

The book analyses all important elements of spatial structure of agriculture such as land use, agrarian structure, agricultural population, technical facilities, structure and volume of production, yields, and types of farms. It also provides a wealth of maps and charts that facilitate the interpretation of the identified phenomena. As such the book is a great resource for academics, students, practitioners and policy-makers in geography and food economics.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The former USSR could become self-sufficient in food, but in the medium term will probably remain a net agricultural importer - if it can persuade exporters to extend credit. But Central Eastern European agricultural exports are likely to expand. Central Eastern Europe could become a tougher, more aggressive player in agriculture, principally in the markets for more demanding food products - especially pork, poultry, and fruits and vegetables.

Download or read book Innovation in Family Farming in Eastern Europe and Central Asia written by Andrew F. Fieldsend and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family farms are part of the solution for ensuring long-term global food security, rural poverty reduction and environmental sustainability. Hence, promoting innovation in family farming is becoming a priority for politicians and policy makers. However, while family farms everywhere are facing major challenges in terms of succession planning, access to finance, land, markets and education, bargaining power, administrative burden and dealing with market volatility, farms in the (Central and Eastern) European and Central Asia (EECA) region have the additional challenges of dealing with the consequences of transition and learning to operate in a market economy. This paper, firstly, summarizes the current theoretical discourse about the potential of national Agricultural Innovation Systems (AIS) to contribute to sustainable agricultural development in EECA. It then, explores the following challenges: (a) the demand for transition towards inclusive, decentralized and pluralistic AISs; (b) the need for a broad involvement and participation of family farmers in knowledge sharing and innovation; (c) the role of producer organizations and, in particular, service cooperatives to promote innovation on family farms; and (d) the roles of public and private investment in agricultural R&D and extension and advisory services. Based on this analysis, a set of recommendations for fostering agricultural innovation for family farms, both for governments and other actors in the AIS, are then made.

Download or read book Structural Change in the Farming Sectors in Central and Eastern Europe written by Csaba Csáki and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farm structures in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) today cover a whole spectrum of forms, which include small subsistence-oriented household plots, medium-sized commercial family farms, and large corporations. The agricultural sector in CEE definitely has not embraced the family farm as the dominant farming structure, thus confounding the original expectations of Western experts. On the other hand, agriculture did not collapse because of fragmentation and privatization, as predicted by conservative doomsayers. To address the concerns of the farming sector in CEE with relation to EU accession, a workshop was held in Warsaw, Poland in June 1999. This volume represents a selection of papers presented at this workshop. It examines the reforms and policy changes necessary in the food and agriculture sectors of the ten countries that have started the accession process for eventual membership in the European Union (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia). The papers are organized around the following three topics: Evolving farm structures and competitiveness in agriculture; Land laws and legal institutions for development of land markets and farm restructuring; and Development of farm services for improved competitiveness. This volume will be of interest to agricultural policy makers and government officials in the candidate countries, EU officials, World Bank and FAO staff, development scholars, and all others interested in the process of agricultural reform in CEE.

Book excerpt: In this collection of essays, edited by Gene Wunderlich, individual authors from various institutions discuss the economics and political issues surrounding land reform and the privatization of agricultural landownership in formerly socialized economies.
