The relevance of the article is that Ukraine’s agriculture is far behind optimal international norms, and the provision of agriculture with fixed assets does not meet the needs of production. The authors used the dialectical method, the analysis method, the synthesis method, the logical method, the historical method, the method of comparison. As a result of the study, the following conclusions were made that the legislation on state support of agrarians in the sphere of equipment purchased is not substantiated. This is a significant destabilizing factor, as well as insufficiently professional and scientifically substantiated preparation of such regulatory acts. There is an increasing tendency for the use of a “manual regime” for providing state support in agriculture, which is in the situation of instability, is a risky way.","PeriodicalId":45567,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomika Poljoprivreda-Economics of Agriculture","volume":"67 1","pages":"511-521"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46355791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the average production costs of canola were calculated as 600.13 US$ ha-1. Gross profit and net profit excluding support payments were found as 515.98 and 310.32 US$ ha-1, respectively. It was determined that the gross profit and net profit including support payments were found to be 921.37 and 715.72 US$ ha-1. It was calculated that the share of supports is 44% in gross and 56.64% in net profits. The results indicated that the supports of diesel oil, fertilizer, certified seed usage and premium support have important increasing effects on farmer income and decreasing costs in canola production. As a result, it can be said that with the support policies applied in canola production, important increases have occurred in canola cultivation areas and production in Turkey. In order to have an efficient oilseed support policy, farmer’s extension service should develop various programs regarding sustainable canola production practices to educate farmers.","PeriodicalId":45567,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomika Poljoprivreda-Economics of Agriculture","volume":"67 1","pages":"483-493"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43609602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of the study showed that the majority of visitors come from the surrounding municipalities, motivated by the preservation of traditions and countryside. Purchase of food products was motivated by novelty as well as supporting local producers. Visitors were most satisfied with the taste of food products and least satisfied with their price. It might be noted that the rural gastronomic festivals and products have a great promotional and entrepreneurial potential by offering these products in the local restaurants as well as retail chains, which would positively affect the revitalization of rural area of Western Serbia.","PeriodicalId":45567,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomika Poljoprivreda-Economics of Agriculture","volume":"67 1","pages":"523-536"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46739430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus was placed on agricultural investments and subsidies. A multi regression model was developed based on hard data provided by SORS and SBRE on a municipal level in Serbia.

This paper examines the impact of agricultural enterprises on the region’s contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP) of the country in the period between 2010 and 2018. Activity of agricultural enterprises was observed using number of agricultural enterprises, number of employees in them, their turnover and gross value added. Random-Effects GLS regression showed that regions with higher agricultural activity contribute to the lesser extent to the GDP of the country. Research results are robust to changing sampling period and lagging independent variables. In this regard, several proposals have been recommended.","PeriodicalId":45567,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomika Poljoprivreda-Economics of Agriculture","volume":"67 1","pages":"585-600"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45948878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is known as a theory of the hierarchy of needs. By this theory, human needs are hierarchically organized in five levels. The hierarchy is depicted as a pyramid, with the largest, most basic needs at the bottom, and the highest needs, such as self-actualization on top. It is understood that physiological needs are at the first level, such as needs for air, water, food... The physiological needs of an organism are basic human needs, and their fulfillment is a basic precondition followed by the needs of a higher order. Healthy life habits such as a good diet contribute to physical, mental, and emotional health. Their influence can be far-reaching, regardless of age, gender, or physical capabilities. Education accompanied by a steady application of current dietary knowledge allows us to consciously influence life processes in our organism.
