Agricultural activity is very important for every country that strives to create a stimulating, stable, abundant, sustainable and equal business environment for all market participants. By striving for sustainable economic development and growth, as well as preservation of the ecosystem, organic agricultural production aims to produce high-quality food. Within the socio-economic space, the role of the state as a regulator of production and market relations is indispensable. The state often uses fiscal policy as an instrument for the regulation of relations in the sphere of production and trade. The level of the tax burden is of vital importance for achieving a sustainable level of agricultural development. From the aspect of the Serbian economy, the taxation of agriculture in the future period must be based on a system of tax incentives for organic production. In the long run, this can increase the volume of organic production and the use of healthy food in human nutrition.
According to official data, biomass represents the most significant potential of renewable energy sources in the Republic of Serbia. It accounts for about 63% of the total potential, but for now its use is not at a satisfactory level. In total amounts of 14,2·104 TJ, it is estimated that about 9,6·104 TJ is unused. This is still evidently a large available potential, especially in agricultural biomass, with the exception of the binding share of biofuels in the transport sector, whose annual potential is around 7,1·104 TJ. The main obstacles for more intensive biomass processing continue to be the high costs of manipulation, the dispersion of land holdings and especially the time mismatch in the production, processing, and use of biomass, which certainly increases storage costs. In the former analyzes, the most widespread use in households, biomass has in direct combustion and production of thermal energy, or in the production of pellets and briquettes, where it is still less represented in relation to forest biomass. Although in the last few years the growth trend of biogas power plants is growing, and the total installed capacity is about 20 MW, this sector has the greatest potential for development in the coming years, especially in local communities, that are primarily focused on agricultural production. The paper deals with the condition analysis of the production, processing, transport, and the possibility of applying agricultural biomass, for the purpose of cogeneration electricity and heat production. The impact of the use of biomass on the protection and sustainability of the environment is also considered, through the analysis of a case study on the examples of territorial units in Vojvodina.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
