Foreign experience in the development of land use for households

The article highlights the issues of the importance and features of land use of personal subsidiary farms by the rural population of the world. According to FAO, almost 75% of the world’s people living in extreme poverty live in rural areas, and their livelihoods and food security depend mainly on the development of the agricultural sector of the economy. Agriculture is the world’s largest employer, providing livelihoods as it employs 40 percent of the world’s population today. It is the largest sector of income and jobs for poor rural households. Five hundred million small households, predominantly rainfed, provide up to 80 percent of the food consumed in most developing countries. Over the past 20 years, the total volume of agricultural production in the world has increased significantly. However, in some of its regions, this growth is accompanied by population growth, falling prices for agricultural products, and deteriorating soil quality, which raises concerns about the sustainability of the agricultural production system. To ensure sustainable development of agriculture in developed and developing countries, more and more is directed to the development of personal subsidiary plots.
