3 Agriculture in NWFD Traditionally the region is characterised by high-risk agriculture: low accumulated positive temperatures short vegetation period high probability of frost low soil fertility seasonal over-moisturising High costs of agricultural production (especially market crop production) are linked to objective natural conditions 3

4 Arable land area:3 mln ha Cultivated area: 2 mln ha Agriculture in NWFD Large share of agricultural production pertains to livestock breeding (70% of gross output of agriculture). Dairy farming prevails, pig and poultry breeding are developing Production is concentrated in large agricultural enterprises (more than 600) Crop production: fodder crops; grain, potato, vegetable growing Vegetable growing under cover is developing based on innovative technologies 4

53 Informative impact International initiatives and cooperation with countries around the Baltic Sea: - governmental bodies and foundations (ministries and regional organisations: ministries of environment and ministries of agriculture of Finland, Sweden and other countries; HELCOM, EU BSRP, Sida, SI, etc.) - non-governmental organisations and foundations (Nefco, JNF, BalticSea2020, etc.) - cross-border cooperation projects Private national initiatives: NGOs, journalists, environmental councils; green patrol, etc. 53

54 Informative impact Research organisations: - collecting information on presence of pollution, its severity, sources, etc. - implementing research-based practical and informational projects (also international ones) - informing producers about new ways for reducing the load and environmentally-friendly resource-saving technologies (arranging and holding seminars) - advising agricultural organisations and public authorities through reports and publications 54

55 Scientific research areas at SZNIIMESH 1. Monitoring of innovative economically efficient and environmentally friendly technologies for using organic waste in livestock breeding, analysing economic efficiency of their use in the context of particularitues of agricultural producton in the NW of the Russian Federation. 2. Analysing efficiency of concentration and intensification of producing livestock breeding output taking into account environmental safety and protection requirements for producers, possibilities for innovating production technologies and management for raising efficiency ofproduction with a lower level of concentration. 3. Analysing problems and drafting recommendations for raising competitiveness of dairy production in the NW as a sector most capable of capitalising the comparative advantages of the region in agriculture and to ensure cohesive development of rural areasas this sector, if using innovative production technologies and management, creates minimal load on the environment. 4. Analysing problems and drafting recommendations for raising the capacity of argicultural production to adapt to dynamic changes of the environment, including, higher requirements for environmental safety of the production and global climate change. 5. Drafting proposals for adjusting regional agricultural policy aimed at raising competitiveness of agricultural products while taking into account requirements forensuring environmental safety of production, increasing sustainability of agricultural productionand ensuring social stability in circumstances of a dynamically changing environment. 55
