Faced with a demographic boom, enormous urbanization and a lack of agricultural land, traditional agricultural production is losing pace with new needs and demands. Due to the increased demand for food, efforts are being made to develop technologies that would improve production, with the sustainable use of existing resources. Solving this challenge is possible by introducing Internet of Things technologies, satellite navigation, mobile communications and ubiquitous computing, which is called smart agriculture. The main goals of smart agriculture are to increase yields (provide information needed to analyze and make decisions that will maximize yields), efficient water use, more efficient agricultural operations (automation of daily activities, real-time monitoring, advanced analytics, daily and seasonal forecasting), cooperation with suppliers and public administration are more efficient and take place in real time). This article highlights the potential of the Internet of Things, big data and drones in agriculture, as well as the challenges of applying these technologies in relation to traditional agricultural practices.

“…Traditional knowledge is therefore preserved where it is retained by a strong cultural identity within a well-defined boundary [82,116,117]. Furthermore, some wild plants are still used today because they are associated with traditional cultural identity [87,106,107,109,118,119], and because of their role in traditional cuisine [72,73,96,[120][121][122]. People still consume plants because of their past role in the community and because they are linked to their ethnic identity [55,61,101].…”

“…Although not very common, some farmers are also selling wild plants to processors or retailers. Some papers report a renewed interest in foraging proven by wild plant usage in local restaurants [60,69,85,94,112,121,127,130], agritourism [83], high cuisine [100], and marketing as traditional high-quality products in local shops [135,136]. Furthermore, eco-tourism experiences, such as foraging courses and wild plant cookery classes [106], could enhance the local gastronomy and wild food heritage [45,98,99,104,105,121,[137][138][139].…”

Wild food gathering activities (i.e., foraging practices) played an important role in securing food in the past. Nowadays, these resources and the knowledge around their use are experiencing a process of erosion. This article aims to identify the factors explaining the abandonment or, on the other hand, the preservation of foraging practices in Europe. The second aim is to analyze how these practices contribute to the economic and social development of local communities and to the sustainability of land management. A systematic review of the literature on European foraging practices was performed to answer these research questions. Following this approach, 111 publications were selected and analyzed. The results highlight that the reasons for the abandonment of foraging practices are related to socio-economic changes as well as changes in the environment such as reduced availability and land-use change. On the other hand, heritagization processes of these resources, such as wild plants sold as traditional local products, in restaurants, or as eco-tourism experiences, are emerging. The sustainability of these practices has not been widely evaluated in the literature. Efficient management strategies of wild food resources could help foster all three dimensions of sustainability at the local level, as well as help preserve traditional knowledge. This systematic review thus contributes to highlighting the framework in which the sustainability of these practices should be assessed.

“…The environment "represents everything that surrounds us, that is, everything with which human life and production activity is directly or indirectly connected" (Hamidović, 2012: 235;Trišić, 2020;Luković et al, 2021;Živković et al, 2019). Therefore, the human right to a healthy environment is one of the basic human rights, which is defined as such in Article 74 of the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia.…”

One of the main goals of the normative approach in the field of tourism development is a sustainable concept in tourism development. In this context, it is very interesting to look at the essence of the scientific and legal treatment of protected areas and the impact of tourism on the environment. The subject of analysis in the paper in the theoretical part was the relevant conceptual framework, and a brief elaboration of the scientific approach in the study of the characteristics and significance of tourism, natural values, protected natural assets, and protected areas in Serbia. In the research part of the paper, the subject of analysis was the legal treatment of protected areas, as well as the analysis of the impact of tourism on the environment, mostly determined by the network of primary and secondary impacts of tourism activities on elements and parameters of environmental quality. The purpose is to see the importance of protection and preservation of protected areas, and the pressures that the environment suffers due to tourism development, to emphasize the importance of timely understanding and assessment of the type and scope of impact of tourist activities on destination resources.
