Zakat as one of the pillars of Islam occupies a very basic and fundamental position, hence His Messenger has ordered Muslims to believe and pay zakat as a form of obedience and the continuation of a harmonious life. Based on agricultural statistics for the period 2015-2019, the agricultural is still as the most important sector in supporting national economic development and it is the sector where most of the Indonesian population works as farmers. The Indonesian people who depend on the agricultural sector are around 38.70 million people, or the equivalent of 30.46%t of the total population in Indonesia. On the other hand, so far, zakat collection has still focused on zakat on assets, income and zakat fitrah, and has not yet touched the agricultural sector massively. Meanwhile, it is known that the potential for zakat in the agricultural sector is very large and until 2018 it is estimated at IDR64.61 trillion. Based on the above, this study seeks to examine how Baznas’ strategy is to manage the potential of zakat in the agricultural sector so that it can lead to economic growth in the community, especially agricultural communities in Indonesia. The results show that there are several strategies implemented by Baznas in managing agricultural zakat and these have been implemented in various forms of programs such as: (i). The system for cultivating agricultural land and providing superior seeds based on zakat; (ii). Agricultural assistance program; (iii). Mustahik move to muzaki (Green Horti) Program; and (iv). Expedition of zakat and economic empowerment program. Another finding is that zakat institutions are still not maximal in conducting socialization and assistance, as well as empowering rural communities. Baznas must start optimizing the collection of agricultural zakat and need to improve performance in making innovative programs that cover all regions in Indonesia.

The article explains the problem questions from the field of economic development of rural communities of the Khotyn region – the ancient Ukrainian land, which, under conditions of statelessness, was at different times in the composition of different states; its historical territory location and the economic life of rural communities. The paper shows that at the end of the nineteenth century – the beginning of the twentieth century this territory occupied a considerable territory of Northern Bessarabia. It is proved that the economic life of rural communities was determined by the agrarian economy, which was associated with the fate of the vast majority of the population. In all Pridnestrovie (Transdniestrian) counties there was an urgent need for agricultural land. The article describes the leading role of grain production in agriculture in Khotyn region, especially rye, wheat and corn. Extensive livestock farming continued to occupy an important place in the agricultural sector of the county. The author gives results of research as for some progress in growing agricultural products, in gardening, which acquired an industrial character. It is clear that land shortages and agrarian overpopulation have become the reasons for the agricultural earnings of the local population.

The agricultural sector is important in national economic development, especially as a provider of employment and as the main source of income for rural communities. Development in the agricultural sector requires the support of all stakeholders, the government's limited role in accommodating the needs in this sector then gave birth to a concept of a collaboration called Collaborative Governance. This research was conducted in Bandung Regency, aimed at finding out the implementation of Collaborative Governance, knowing the reach of farmers to the market, knowing the marketing media used and the problems faced by farmers in accessing the market. Data in this study were collected through interviews, then analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques. The results showed the role of  local government was very dominant and vice versa universities contributed very minimally. The reach of farmers to the market is still very low, only a small proportion of farmers have marketed their products outside the region. In marketing their agricultural products, farmers have started to utilize online media. The government is expected to assist farmers in opening market access through the use of marketing technology or by bringing farmers together with investors.

This paper aims to comprehensively address the important role of accelerating the application of location-specific technological innovations as one indicator of realizing agricultural and rural development. The implementation of agricultural development has had a real impact on socio-economic changes in rural communities. Food security and farmer and rural welfare still remain a strategic problem. Programs and policies that introduce various technologies to increase rice production and productivity have been carried out by the government. Some of them are about the Green Revolution, the Bimas Inmas program, the rice SL-PTT program, the rice intensification program (IP-400, SRI, P4 MI and others. This paper is part of various research results, one of which is PATANAS: Indicators of Agricultural and Rural Development, which is supported and enriched with various data and information related to the purpose of writing. The use of organic fertilizers is highly recommended because it is very useful for improving soil structure as a source of micro nutrients and as a medium for soil microbes development. During the past decade the use of seeds labeled by farmers has increased, including the existence of aid programs and subsidized seed prices. Labeling whether or not rice seeds are used by farmers is positively correlated with procurement source. Empirical facts show that the increasing conversion of agricultural land to non-agriculture threatens the existence of the agricultural sector in terms of national food security. Innovations implementation considering the specific location should be carried out as early as possible

Taxation of the agricultural sector is a major instrument for mobilization of the surplus to finance development projects within the agricultural sector and/or the rest of the economy. For many years, the need for a heavier taxation of agricultural land has formed part of the conventional wisdom regarding the ways of extracting agricultural surplus and increasing the tempo of agricultural development in poor countries. Land taxes have both equity and efficiency properties that gladden the hearts of both economists and vocal politicians belonging to urban areas. Taxes on land promote efficiency in the allocation of scarce resources by creating incentives for farmers to increase their effort and reduce their consumption, thus expanding the amount of agricultural produce available to the non-agricultural sectors of the economy. A tax on land has an important redistributive function because its incidence falls squarely on the landlord and is shifted neither forward to consumers nor backwards to suppliers of agricultural inputs; nor does it introduce distortions in the allocation of productive resources.

In the year before the accession to the European Union, the Slovak agricultural sector reported a loss of SKK 2.4 billion and following a profitable year, the earnings were reduced by SKK 2.8 billion. The situation was caused by a number of reasons, namely reduced sales of agricultural products, damage resulting from adverse weather effects (cold weather, hail, drought and  swine fever), as well as widening of the price gap compared to the year before (increasing input prices in agriculture and decreasing purchase prices of agricultural products, especially in livestock production). Legal entities and natural persons experienced mixed business success. While 51% of legal entities made profit, the figure rose to 76% in the group of natural persons. Both the agricultural cooperatives and trading companies performed with a loss. The loss per hectare of agricultural land (a.l.) was substantially lower in the case of business companies. Natural persons - private farmers were profitable over the period. The gap between the profitable and loss-making enterprises has widened. Some 60% of profitable enterprises owned by legal entities made only a small profit below SKK 0.5 million. The loss-making performance was typical for more productive areas of Slovakia. This was related to stronger effects of adverse climate in 2003.

AbstractThe Zambian government has introduced the farm block development programme (FBDP) to facilitate agricultural land and rural development and encourage private sector investment. This study assessed whether the FBDP achieves these goals. Key obstacles and possible opportunities were also identified and, where appropriate, specific corrective actions were recommended. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted in Lusaka with various stakeholders of the FBDP. The FBDP is designed to facilitate agricultural land development and encourage private sector investment. However, the programme falls far short in terms of implementation, amidst policy uncertainty and lack of support. This is evident by the insecurity of land tenure which negatively affects small- and medium-scale producers’ access to financing, lack of infrastructure development of these farm blocks, and constraints in the agricultural sector such as low labour productivity and poor access to service expertise. It is recommended that innovative policy interventions should be created to support agricultural development. This can be achieved by following a multistakeholder approach through involving private, public and non-profit sectors such as non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and donors.

The article examines the historical experience of the creation and operation of machine-technological stations, taking into account the peculiarities of their development in each period of their activities. The advantage of creation of machine-technological stations at city united territorial communities at the present stage as one of means of the maintenance of agricultural commodity producers from the area of the earths to 500 hectares of a full complex of technical means is outlined, the growth of which will contribute to the development of the market of agro-technological works and services. Among the main advantages - the proximity of technical means to the agricultural lands of farmers is a significant factor, given that the average size of the united territorial community is about 225 km2. In addition, the newly created machine-technological stations, whose activities will be aimed at working with small areas of agricultural land, will be equipped with appropriate technical means, which will save money. Restraining factors of development of machine-technological stations at the present stage are revealed, among which the main ones are limited financial resources at the stage of their creation, insufficient level of state support, lack of integration of machine-technological stations with agricultural enterprises that are consumers of their services. It is proposed to create a fund to support the newly created machine- technological stations at the city's united territorial communities to provide start-up capital in the form of interest-free loans on a competitive basis, which can be used for investment in technical means and equipment, working capital or expansion of agro-technological works. In addition, the improvement of programs of financial support for agricultural producers will promote the development of machine-technological stations in the agricultural sector. The implementation of the proposed proposals will contribute to the development of the market of agro-technological works and services in the direction of providing agricultural producers of small forms of management with a full range of quality technological services in a timely manner.

To better understand the barriers to implementing policy; systems; and environmental (PSE) change initiatives within Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) programming in U.S. rural communities; as well as strategies to overcome these barriers, this study identifies: (1) the types of nutrition-related PSE SNAP-Ed programming currently being implemented in rural communities; (2) barriers to implementing PSE in rural communities; and (3) common best practices and innovative solutions to overcoming SNAP-Ed PSE implementation barriers. This mixed-methods study included online surveys and interviews across fifteen states. Participants were eligible if they: (1) were SNAP-Ed staff that were intimately aware of facilitators and barriers to implementing programs, (2) implemented at least 50% of their programming in rural communities, and (3) worked in their role for at least 12 months. Sixty-five staff completed the online survey and 27 participated in interviews. Barriers to PSE included obtaining community buy-in, the need for relationship building, and PSE education. Facilitators included finding community champions; identifying early “wins” so that community members could easily see PSE benefits. Partnerships between SNAP-Ed programs and non-SNAP-Ed organizations are essential to implementing PSE. SNAP-Ed staff should get buy-in from local leaders before implementing PSE. Technical assistance for rural SNAP-Ed programs would be helpful in promoting PSE.
