Description

The majority of Russian Federation and Kazakhstan agricultural rural areas are characterized by sudden changes in agricultural and nutrition sections. It is caused by privatization, modernization and increasing differences between large agricultural holdings and small private farms. The importance of developing rural areas and the necessity of developing a perspective plan for agricultural land were admitted by both politicians and economists. In connection with this there is a lack of sustainable development strategies and integrated approaches at the regional or local levels. And also there is a lack of modern methods and qualified people for the assessment and the further agro-ecosystem services development which consist not only of agricultural products, but also of environmental and social services. It is necessary to train specialists to adopt theoretical concepts of the development for specific local conditions, access to the (international) experience, to apply modern methods for the agro-ecosystem and the natural resources and to plan the use of the agriculture land and management.
