“…The emphasis on intensive methods in agriculture and the rationale for the need for intensive rice cultivation in Vietnam were studied by other authors [6]. The results of intensive methods of agricultural production can also be negative, such consequences should be predicted and taken into account when developing a strategy for the development of agricultural production, as evidenced by the research of scientists [7]. The need for harmonization of intensification processes, with the conservation of biodiversity and nature protection, is also shown [8].…”

“…First of all, this concerns the equipment involved in production, which should be distinguished by a high level of reliability, be resource-saving and productive, reduce product losses to minimum, and create comfortable working conditions for all 1043 (2022) 012021 IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1043/1/012021 3 participants in the production process. An equally important factor in the growth of labor productivity is the digital transformation of the sub-sector, the transfer of all technological processes to digital functioning [7]. Modern world standards of equipment and technologies produced for the grain subcomplex are distinguished by high productivity, quality and reliability.…”

The agro-industrial complex of Russia is developing in difficult socio-economic, political conditions; however, the grain sub-complex demonstrates the sustainable nature of its development, confirming this with an increase in production volumes. The key role in this has been played by the introduced organizational, economic, managerial, and structural changes that adapt the industry to work in new economic conditions and risks. As a result, Russia is a leading player in the global food market. In the agricultural sector of the economy, there are intensive and extensive factors of present and future development. The reorientation of production towards the priority of intensive factors is possible, based on such key areas as technical and technological renewal, modernization, digital transformation of the industry, which will provide it with significant competitive advantages in the face of high global risks. The current trends in the world market, aimed at increasing demand for grain, also cause a change in the structure of production in regions. Changes in the structure of production entail changes in production volumes. Extensive factors of growth in the scale of grain production can be used to a very limited extent, without prejudice to the economy and the regional market for agricultural products. The priority direction for further development of grain production in the region should include intensive production methods. In this case, the structure of agricultural land and sown areas does not undergo significant transformation and global structural changes, and the increase in production volumes is achieved due to the complex of applied intensive methods of agricultural production.

“…In 2020, the Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission will launch a satellite to pursue this work [141]. Satellites observations permit to provide unbiased, spatially explicit and repeated data permiting to better understand the processes in action in the MR and delta [142]. Sand extraction is another regional issue that could be attenuated by implementing regulations.…”

River Deltas Research - Recent Advances

The Mekong River (MR) is recognized the 12th biggest rivers in the world. The Mekong watershed is the biggest one in Southeast Asia (795,000 km2), is densely populated (70 million people), is considered as the most productive one in Southeast Asia and is economically essential to the region. However, nowadays, the Lower Mekong River (LMR) and its delta are facing several emerging and critical anthropogenic stressors (dams construction, climate change, water poor quality, delta sinking). This review attempts to: (i) present the Mekong regional characteristics (geography, topological settings, climatic conditions, hydrology, demographic features and the anthropogenic activities), (ii) present the different factors that endanger the LMR, including the dam’s impacts, the climate change, the delta subsidence, and the degradation of the water quality, (iii) make comparison with different big rivers around the world and (iv) promote future decisions in order to minimize the negative impacts and seek for a trajectory that assures well-being and sustainability. International consultation and cooperation leading to sustainable management is now of a pivotal importance to try to avoid the deterioration of the LMR and its delta.

“…The adaptive cycle, a central mechanism of resilience theory, characterizes the dynamics of socialecological systems (Yan and Tang, 2020). As a complex adaptive system in the bay area, current studies have focused strongly on a single subsystem and the single threats affecting that subsystem (Kuenzer et al, 2020). Therefore, to better make a reasonable and valid assessment of the resilience of the bay, we instantiated the complex framework of multiple subsystems (Figure 2) to reveal the changes in resilience resulting from the spatial and temporal variability of the three major bay area in China.…”

The bay area is a crucial land–sea junction zone containing essential urban clusters while receiving extremely complex internal and external disturbances that challenge more on its resilience management. However, a sound management tool based on the bay area’s resilience is widely lacking due to the difficulty of unifying resilience indicators and quantifying resilience relationships between regions. This paper tries to establish a comprehensive resilience index for coastal bays from four major resilience-related dimensions, namely, physical structure, social development, ecological environment, and hazards, and applies it into the three major developed bay areas in China. A coupling coordination degree model was used to further reveal the resilience development and its internal coordination by temporal and spatial differences. The results show that the index could clearly reveal the resilience changes from the year 2000 to 2020 of the three bays with the common key drivers of socioeconomic development. It also explains the resilience changes among three bay areas through analyzing synergistic and conflict relationships between the four sub-resilience systems.
