The significance of healthy-safe food in development of the rural tourism of Serbia

Rural tourism, by its definition, is based on two activities, the tourism and the agriculture, which form together the specific tourist supply. This supply can be organized within an agricultural holding or in the rural area. All of the activities organized in the specific rural area, which attract tourists, should be specific with basic characteristics; quiet, noiseless area, preserved nature, direct communication with natives, the possibility of being informed about field works and domestic food. Serbia has such rural areas, with primeval purity, where none of preservatives has ever been applied in food production. Rapid industrialization, inhuman life in urban areas and excessive and/or unprofessional use of plant protection agents in the primary agricultural protection show increasing interest of population, especially of higher classes, to search for healthy-safe food in the rural areas, and they often require to participate in food preparation. Exactly the healthy-safe food is often an important factor of tourists' orientation to the specific rural tourist destination. The subject of this paper is how and in what way it affects a number of tourists in the specific rural areas. The research methodology, applied in this paper, is the combination of qualitative and quantitative research. As a research instrument was used a structured questionnaire, which had enclosed a list of mostly open type enquiries. In-depth interviews were organized in several municipalities of Central Serbia with the natives who were engaged in healthy-safe food production and rural tourism. The expected result is the development and increase of self-sustainable production of healthysafe food, as an important argument for attracting tourists in the Serbian rural areas, and who want to consume and/or to take part in the production of healthy-safe food

Mikrobiološka aktivnost - indikator uticaja nikla na biogenost zemljišta

Our study showed that the Ni concentration of 2,0 mg Ni kg-1 soil significantly reduced the total number of microorganisms and the numbers of ammonifiers, actinomycetes and fungi. The number of Azotobacter was increased in the presence of Ni. The Ni concentration of 2,0 mg Ni kg-1 soil was decreased dehydrogenase activity in soil under the wheat, the sugerbeet and soyabean. DHA was increased in the presence of Ni in soil under the corn and the sunflower.Nikal u količini 2,0 mg Ni kg-1 zemljišta uticao je značajno na smanjenje ukupnog broja mikroorganizama, brojnost amonifikatora, gljiva i aktinomiceta u zemljištu pod svim ispitivanim biljnim vrstama. Međutim, nikal je uticao je pozitivno na brojnost Azotobacter-a, sem u zemljištu pod šećernom repom. Prisustvo nikla uticalo je na samanjenje DHA u zemljištu pod pšenicom, šećernom repom i sojom, ali u zemljištu pod kukuruzom i suncokretom aktivnost ovog enzima je povećana

Biološka fiksacija azota imperativ u sistemu održivosti

The information on the biological nitrogen fixation has been having an increasing application within the system of organic food production. The application of inoculates with certain groups of diazotrophs results in saving expensive mineral fertilizers, preserving soil biogeny, reducing financial inputs, which represents one of the major principles of sustainable agriculture. Bacterisation was performed with the liquid seed inoculum of the maize hybrid ZP SC 704 and the wheat variety Leda. The inoculum consisted of a mixture of selected diazotrophos and their highly effective strains. The following variants of mineral N fertilizers were used in the trial: control K, N1 - 80 kg ha-1, N2 - 120 kg ha-1. Values of parameters of soil biogeny (total number, abundance of diazotrophs, ammonifier, enzymic activities), were higher under bacterisation conditions in both plant species, and were accompanied with higher grain yields. There were no significant differences in value increases of investigated parameters between fertilizing variants N1 and N2 hence it can be concluded that the application of bacterisation can rationalize the utilization of mineral fertilizers, what is of a significance for sustainable agriculture.Koncept održive poljoprivrede podrazumeva proizvodnju biološki ispravne hrane uz očuvanje agroekološke ravnoteže, gde pored uloge i značaja agrotehničkih mera, sve veći značaj imaju i mikroorganizmi. U proizvodnji zdravstevno bezbedne hrane sve se više primenjuju i saznanja o biološkoj fiksaciji azota. U istraživanjima je obavljena bakterizacija tečnim inokulumom semena kukuruza ZP SC 677. U inokulumu se nalazila smeša odabranih vrsta diazotrofa i njihovih visikoefektivnih sojeva: -Azotobacter chroococcum soj 84; 2-Azospirillum lipoferum soj 2; 3-Klebsiella planticola soj 4; 4 -1 + 2 + 3 + Bacillus megaterium + Azotobacter vinelandi + Bacillus subtilis; 5 - 1 + 3 + Bacillus megaterium + Azotobacter vineland i+ Bacillus subtilis. U ogledu je obavljeno đubrenje mineralnim azotnim đubrivima: bez đubrenja - kontrola K, N1-30, N2-60, N3-80 i N4-80 kg N.ha-1. Vrednosti pokazatelja biogenosti zemljišta (ukupan broj, brojnost Azotobactera, bakterija iz ciklusa kruženja fosfora), u uslovima bakterizacije zavisile su od doza primenjenog mineralnog azota, kao što je zavisila i visina prinosa zrna. Najveće vrednosti ispitivanih parametara utvrđene su pri đubrenju sa 60 i 90 kg N.ha-1,te se može zaključiti da bi se primenom bakterizacije mogla racionisati upotreba azotnih mineralnih đubriva, što je svakako značajno s gledišta održive poljoprivrede

Uloga konsaltinga u razvoju finansijskog tržišta Srbije

Organizacije koje pružaju konsultantske usluge koje se odnose na nastup i aktivnosti na finansijskom tržištu dovode do odgovarajuće pozitivne lančane reakcije. Naime, domaćim i stranim kompanijama koje žele da investiraju pružaju informacije u vezi sa izborom investiranja, kao i informacije o performansama preduzeća u koje se ulaže. Takve poslovne informacije dovode do smanjenja rizika, koji je imanentan poslovnoj aktivnosti, naročito onoj koja se realizuje preko finansijskog tržišta. Rizik raste u uslovima neizvesnosti, odnosno, u situacijama kada je slabo raspolaganje potrebnim poslovnim informacijama. Smanjenjem rizika povećava se atraktivnost ulaganja, što je stimulans za domaće i strane investitore koji vrednuju različite kombinacije rizik/prinos. Rastući nivo investiranja u domaća preduzeća razvija tržište kapitala kao sastavni deo domaćeg finansijskog tržišta, pri čemu se priliv sredstava realizuje se kroz investicije u: nova preduzeća, dokapitalizaciju postojećih preduzeća, konsolidaciju finansijskog sistema

RAZVOJ, ULOGA I CILJEVI KONSALTINGA U PROCESU TRANZICIJE U SRBIJI

Opstanak i razvoj podrazumevaju ulaganje napora u reevaluaciju i ponovnu afirmaciju konkurentnih prednosti preduzeća i njihovih pozicija na tržištu. Da bi to postigle, i velike i poznatije firme svetskog glasa na razvijenom tržištu Evrope unajmljuju poznate konsultantske kuće u ispomoć, izdvajajući za to znatna sredstva. Tim putem neminovno je morala da krene i srpska privreda, jer je to jedini put koji je vodi priključenju privredi evropske zajednice, a to znači opstanku, stabilizaciji i razvoju. Osim potrebe za konsalting aktivnostima iz oblasti u kojima menadžeri nisu dovoljno stručni, konsultanti se mogu angažovati za jednokratne i dopunske, ali veoma osetljive poslovne aktivnosti kao što su uvođenje novog proizvoda, prodor na inostrano tržište ili borba sa agresivnom konkurencijom. Istovremeno, pomoć konsultantskih organizacija može biti potrebna u situaciji kada je menadžment kompanije opterećen brojnim aktivnostima, što je slučaj kod diversifikovanih preduzeća, kada postojeći realni menadžment kapaciteti ne obezbeđuju simultanu optimizaciju poslovnih aktivnosti. Budući da je partnerstvo bazičan princip modernog konsaltinga, pokazaće se da konsultantske organizacije sa aktivnim učešćem klijenata daju najbolje rezultate u praksi

Zaštita i održivi razvoj ekosistema Dunavskog regiona

Prirodni ekosistemi Dunavskog regiona duž celog toka Dunava su izloženi ozbiljnim zagađenjima koja potiču od rudarsko-energetskih delatnosti čoveka. Obzirom na rudna bogatstva koja su ustanovljena u zemljama kroz koje vodi tok Dunava i aktivnosti koje čovek provodi u cilju njihove eksploatacije znatno se narušavaju prirodni ekosisitemi. Cilj ovog rada je da se ukaže na bogat biodiverzitet Dunavskog regiona sa posebnim akcentom na Nacionalni park Đerdap; kao i na ugroženost i izloženost zagađivanju od strane više faktora kao i na potrebu preduzimanja mera zaštite ovih ekosistema. Usvojena su mnoga dokumenta o merama koje treba preduzeti u cilju zaštite Đerdapske klisure kao nacionalnog dobra

Farmland real estate investment trusts

The modern era has brought the need for the establishment of farmland real estate investment trusts. The establishment of these trusts positively affects growth and development of agricultural sector and ultimately contributes to global poverty reduction and sustainable development of the world economy and society. The research objective is to highlight the importance of these institutional investors as a new mechanism for investing in farmland and an additional source of financing for the agricultural sector. No studies on this issue in domestic and insufficient number of them in foreign literature have been a motive for the conducted research. The intention is to introduce investment community with the basic characteristics of farmland real estate investment trusts, as well as the key factors that arouse interest and lead to investment in farmland as new asset class

Importance of education and training local population in process of development rural tourism in Serbia

Since the mid-nineties of the twentieth century begins a rapid expansion of rural tourism in Serbia. In the first initial phase, the development has taken place without a clear plan and program. The first achieved positive results, influenced that Serbian Government since 2008 started with appropriate funding with aim to improve rural tourism development. Also, until 2008 there was no system of education and training sessions of the local population. Farmers were not educated and trained to provide adequate quality system services. On this way was undermined the competitiveness of rural tourist destination and positive results that rural tourism could bring. Expectations are that the implementation of appropriate methods of education and training could create conditions for providing better quality services, which will bring bigger effects of rural tourism and benefits to rural areas
