Agrarian potential in the function of economic development of the municipality of Varvarin

Abstract

The paper analyzed the agrarian potential at the level of settlements in the municipality of Varvarin. This work aims to identify the most significant factors that affect agrarian potential. The following methods were applied: the method of successive dividers for determining the direction of agricultural land use, the weighting method for obtaining a reference value for calculating the agricultural potential, and the correlation coefficient for the analysis of cause-and-effect relationships between the value of the agricultural potential by settlements and used parameters. The paper provides an overview of the key problems in agriculture at the local, regional, national, continental, and global levels, including programs implemented by certain developed countries to revitalize agriculture.
