In recent years increasing pressure to limit the powers of the Czech public health authorities in the field of food safety has been noticed. An approach to safe food production and official controls depends on diverse and complex socioeconomic factors in the context of political and legislative framework within which food producers and official controllers exist. Official controls are those activities carried out by the competent authorities (CA) or delegated bodies) in Member States to verify business compliance with the requirements set out in agri-food chain legislation. The presented text compares the effectiveness of national food safety systems in the Member States (MS) of the European Union (EU). Under the current EU legislation, each MS shall appoint the competent authorities responsible for the purposes of European legislation in the field of food safety and for performance of official controls. Member States shall ensure that official controls are carried out regularly, on a risk basis and with appropriate frequency to achieve the objectives set out in the European legislation. For evaluation were used the country profiles of Member States, as published in 2011-2015. From the perspective of the European Commission current system of official controls in the Czech Republic is rated as one of the most effective and least problematic. When comparing various systems in Member States it is not possible to decide which control system is more efficient, i.e. system based on one competent authority or relying on several competent authorities.

“…Many smart agricultural practices have been implemented in Vietnam to maintain agricultural production in increasing climate risks (Dang et al, 2014;Dung and Phu, 2016;Ha et al, 2019;WHO, 2019). These include intelligent irrigation and water management, better plant varieties, agricultural forestry, crop management, sustainable land management, agricultural waste treatment (apply biogas technology in farming), and agricultural climate information services (Nguyen et al, 2017b(Nguyen et al, , 2018Shukla et al, 2018;Reardon et al, 2019). However, the level of adoption of CSA technologies is generally still low or moderate.…”

Agriculture is a sector with a long tradition and an important contribution to economic growth in Vietnam, providing food security and generating revenue for the country's exports. However, agricultural activities in Vietnam are significantly affected by climate change. In Vietnam, the central coastal area in general and Ninh Thuan province in particular are the most vulnerable areas to natural disasters. In that context, climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is a good strategy to help local famers coping with climate change while securing food security. This study has two main objectives: to assess farmers' awareness on disasters and to analyze factors affecting the decision to apply CSA practices of farming households in Ninh Thuan. The study conducted focus group discussion, in-depth interview and survey of 436 households in 3 districts of Ninh Thuan to collect data. Research results showed that local farmers have a high awareness of natural disasters trends and impacts on agricultural livelihoods. Facing with disasters in the context of climate change, farming households have applied some models of CSA such as minimal tillage, intercropping, crop rotation, crop transformation, and the use of plant varieties. Binary logit regression analysis indicated that age, education level, household income, membership of local associations, training attendance, and support policies were variables significantly influencing the farmers' decision to apply CSA. Challenges for CSA adoption include lack of capital, information, technical support and land ownership institutions in Vietnam. The study also made recommendations to promote CSA in Vietnam, including reforming the legal system, strengthening agricultural extension services, and providing technical and capital support to farmers.

“…The rapidly increasing demand is a result of an increase in population, economic growth, people's purchasing power and change of tastes. Meanwhile national food production capacity experience a slow growth and even stagnant due to competition in the use of land and water resources as well as stagnant growth of land and agricultural labor productivity (Santo and Moragues-Faus, 2019;Shukla et al, 2018) As a staple food, rice will continue to have increasing market demand, in line with population growth. From the farmer's side, as long as there is enough water, Indonesian farmers can almost certainly grow rice.…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors affecting production in the intensification of lowland rice farming. This research was conducted by descriptive analytical method. Population in this study were all farmers who cultivated paddy rice farming in two villages. Variable research is paddy rice production, land area (ha), amount of seeds used (kg), use of urea fertilizer (kg), use of NPK fertilizer (kg), use of KCL (kg), farmer's age (years old), farmer's education (year), labor, farmer's experience, frequency of agriculture counselling. The analysis model used was the Cobb-Douglass model of multiple regression analysis. Results of research are the effect of land area factor (X1), labor (X2), seed (X3), use of urea fertilizer (X4), use of NPK fertilizer (X5), use of KCL fertilizer (X6), frequency of agricultural counselling (X10) and intensification of farming (D) together (simultaneous) affect the intensification of rice farming to production (Yi) with p < 0,05. The coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.983 or 98.30%. Conclusion is the effect of production on the intensification of paddy rice farming where land area, labor, use of seeds, use of urea fertilizer, use of NPK fertilizer, use of Kcl, frequency of counselling and the effect of farm intensification have significant effect. The effect of labor on intensification of paddy rice farming where production, experience, education and intensification of farming are significant.
