“…This fact emphasizes the need to review the matter of pesticide monitoring in the national legislation. 25,26 Despite the discrepancy between national and international regulations, accordingly to Avelhan and Zylbersztajn, 27 Brazil has the most advanced and restricted law concerning environmental protection, but its enforcement has several loopholes.…”

The rises of toxic effects caused by pesticides are of concern. However, Brazilian legislation still needs scientific subsides to improve the water quality requirements. This can be attributed in part to the few existing studies showing the occurrence and levels of multi-residue pesticides. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the presence and the residue-levels of pesticides in surface, ground and drinking water of Tibagi River micro-basin in Paraná State, Brazil. Data obtained over a year for the physical-chemical parameters, screening and quantification, made by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), confirmed the contamination by several pesticides. Alarming concentrations of diuron and imazethapyr in a permanent preservation area and in groundwater were observed. The absence of legislation for most pesticides under study makes difficult the prohibition of their use and the control of their residue-levels on the environment. The results draw attention to further discussion and engagement around the pesticide regulations.

“…Institutions and institutional context are important determinants of development. Institutions play an important role in development along with other resources such as technology, capital and enterprise, and together, they determine the cost of transacting and producing (Avelhan & Zylbersztajn, 2018). In small producerdominated situations like Indian agriculture, the role of institutions becomes even more crucial as there are structural and enterprise-specific constraints like high transaction cost, lack of market integration and interlocking of factor and output markets, which only institutions and organizations can tackle effectively.…”

“…Institutions are also different from organizations-the former being the rules of the game and the latter the players in the game. But both of them influence each other in terms of which organizations come up and how they evolve, and it is determined by the institutional framework (rules of the game), and they, in turn, influence how the institutional framework itself evolves (Avelhan & Zylbersztajn, 2018;Neilson & Pritchard, 2009;Singh, 2017a).…”

There are many types of innovations such as technological, social, product, process, marketing and organizational, and institutional innovation is one type. The producer companies (PCs), which are a case of legal institutional innovation in the Indian domain of primary producer organization are more market-oriented co-operative companies and can help farmers buy and sell more effectively. They have gained currency across India during the past 15 years since the amendment to the Companies Act made this possible in 2003, and India now has thousands of such PCs, with many of them being supported by state agencies. This article examines the uniqueness of these entities as an institutional form wherein principles of co-operation and corporate entity have been combined so that they could be more relevant entities in a globalized and liberalized market environment. It discusses their competitive edge over other forms of producer organizations like co-operative societies in India and farmer companies in Sri Lanka, and new-generation co-operatives in other parts of the world. After discussing some innovations in their governance and management, it concludes by making suggestions for augmenting this institutional innovation for inclusive and sustainable agricultural and rural development.

“…Expanding global agricultural areas or intensifying production through much greater use of inputs is not appropriate to counterbalance this increase as the agricultural sector is already making a significant contribution to exceeding planetary boundaries for biodiversity loss and nitrogen and phosphorus biogeochemical fluxes [3]. However, improving resource efficiency in agriculture can create a favourable situation by improving economic performance and reducing environmental pressures [4,5].…”

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of agriculture, its effectiveness for the economic and socio-political sector of development of any state in the modern world. However, agriculture relies on the use of natural resources in its activities - land, soil, water, atmospheric air, forests and other vegetation. The quality of these natural components of the natural environment directly affects the functioning and productivity of agricultural organizations. Environmental pollution problems are complex problems of interaction between nature and man. To minimize environmental harm and the occurrence of dangerous environmental consequences, a model of environmental management is needed. For agricultural production environmental management issues are particularly specific since its productivity is directly related, first of all, to the state of the natural environment as consumption resources on the one hand, and the negative impact of agricultural activities on natural resources on the other. In this article the issues of legal regulation of the law of nature use in agricultural activities were investigated, the problems of regulatory support for the rational use of nature in agriculture were identified, and the directions for optimizing the legislative regulation of the use of natural resources for agricultural activities were determined.
