    Agricultural land is fundamental to human survival and economic development. Unlike other resources, land resources are embodied in trade goods and commodities, which are continuously re-allocated between countries and regions. As a typical ecological element, agricultural land embodied in trade activities can play an essential role in allocating land resources and advancing agricultural development.

    Politics or profits along the “Silk Road”: what drives Chinese farms in Tajikistan and helps them thrive?
    Peer-reviewed publication
    October, 2016
    Tajikistan, China

    China’s influence in neighboring Central Asian states is growing at a fast pace. Since the launch of the One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative to accelerate China’s engagement in Central Asia and beyond, nearly all Chinese activity in this region has been gathered under OBOR. OBOR now seems to cover a plethora of spatially and temporally expanding state and privately driven projects. In this paper, I discuss large- and small-scale Chinese farm enterprises in Tajikistan, in which discussions around China’s “global land investments” and OBOR intersect.

    Geographies of transition: The political and geographical factors of agrarian change in Tajikistan
    Reports & Research
    December, 2014
    Tajikistan

    After more than two decades of agrarian change in Tajikistan, farming structures seem to crystallise. The first signs towards farm individualisation were observed only around 2000, which were the result of significant pressure from outside, when the post-conflict state was highly susceptible to pressure from multilateral institutions. Over time, striking differences in agrarian structures have emerged nation-wide; from highly fragmented, autonomous farms, to elite-controlled large-scale cotton farming.

    Land Use Policy Volume 47

    Peer-reviewed publication
    September, 2015
    United States of America, Europe

    In parts of the northern hemisphere, many pollinator species are in decline, with potential adverse implications for pollination and the ecosystem service of food production. It is therefore important to understand how habitats primarily orientated towards food production can be managed in an efficient way to enhance pollinator populations for current and future food security. In Europe, agri-environment schemes are a well-established method for promoting nature conservation on farmland.

    The paper has two main applications: it represents a model for pricing – which might be used by investment funds, or other organizations interested in agricultural land acquisitions; the interest is in buy/sell transactions - a financial mechanism could be created to facilitate these transactions. For example, the creation of a Land Bank or to attract land banking investment funds, which would have the goal to improve the transaction system, develop financial tools necessary for increasing efficiency, improving financial structure.

    Condiţiile climaterice instabile caracteristice pentru Republica Moldova destabilizează piaţa produselor agricole. Acestea, dar şi alte particularităţi ale agriculturii contemporane, pun societatea noastră în faţa unei nevoi acute de informatizare, mai ales înceea ce-i priveşte pe producătorii agricoli(fermierii), dar şi autorităţile publice de toate nivelurile. Implementarea Sistemului Informaţional al cadastrului agricol, iniţiată cu succes în ţara noastră, este o soluţie fundamentală în acest sens.
