Abstract
It is necessary to harmonize the needs of society in terms of agricultural
production and land protection from various forms of degradation.
Assessing the justifi cation of investment in sustainable management of
land resources is an important step in that process. Consequently, in the
suburban area of the morphological unit of the Barička river basin, an
analysis of soil erosion risk was carried out using the Revised Universal Soil
Loss Equation (RUSLE) method, with the existing and projected structure
of agricultural production according to the Future Agricultural Production
Structure Model from the Aspect of Preserving Land Resources for
Mountain Catchment Areas of Serbia (FAPSMS). The value of the existing
and projected production structure from the economic aspect was also
examined, using dynamic economic methods. In order to assess the risk
and uncertainty of investments, a sensitive analysis of dynamic methods
was carried out. The results of the research showed that soil erosion losses
are already below tolerance values with the existing production structure
and that they could be reduced even more by applying the designed
structure. Economic indicators have shown that the investment is justified
and that it is more sensitive to changes in income
