Policy-makers, technical and development experts have provided numerous reasons for Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries to adapt and replicate the lessons of Asia's Green Revolution (AGR) which is regarded to be an effective model for increasing agricultural productivity, reducing poverty and enhancing food and nutrition security. However, for SSA to successfully replicate AGR requires a firm grasp of the specific conditions under which it was implemented during the 1960s and 1970s. The changing environment, climate change impacts and erratic rainfall patterns are making the predominant rain-fed agriculture in SSA countries like Ghana unproductive and unsustainable. Consequently, widespread poverty, food and nutrition insecurity are endemic in most rural communities in the country. The views of eight development experts and 45 farmers were analysed and the key drivers that can facilitate a successful replication of Asia's experiences identified and analysed. A number of recommendations are then proposed to ensure a successful deployment of AGR to boost agricultural productivity, wealth creation, and food and nutrition security in Ghana.

The paper extensively reviews the implementation processes of the Association Agreements between the European Union and Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine in the area of environment. The correlation between the implementation processes of the Association Agreements on the environment with the institutional and neo-institutional theories is determined. The most complementary elements of the neo-institutional theory regarding institutional processes for the implementation of the Association Agreement between the EU and Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine in relation to the environment are developed. The neo-institutional methodology of environmental management based on the formation of 'institutional ecosystem' is scientifically reviewed and substantiated. The scientific elements that support its methodological integrity are defined: 'institutional dominants', 'institutional replications', and 'institutional players'. A decomposition of these concepts within the framework of modern economic-ecological and neo-institutional theory, and their connection in the context of the formation of the national institutional model of eco-management is analysed.

The purpose of the research paper is to investigate the chain link 'pollution-shadow economy' in the context of the analytical estimation of the impact of individual factors and the level of carbon intensity of gross domestic product (GDP). The article determines the impact of individual factors with transfer to the system of chain interconnections based on regression analysis. On the basis of successive mathematical iterations consisting in confirmation of stationarity (Dickey-Fuller test) and cointegration of data series (Johansen test), the cointegration equations of the dependence of GDP carbon intensity on the level of economy shadowing, the amount of tax payments, the rate of unemployment and the amount of public expenditures on environmental protection have been constructed. It is scientifically based that in all the European countries without exception, taxes and public investments have the greatest impact on the carbon intensity of the GDP of the economy.

Air pollution is a serious environmental phenomenon that threatens the whole world. In order to be able to take the necessary regulations and policies to face air pollution, one must first depend on measurements and analysis that are correct and reliable. Reaching a well-designed network is the first step to gain access to these measurements and analysis. Throughout the current study, the network of monitoring stations measuring nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in Greater Cairo and Delta Regions in Egypt is improved. Two approaches are followed namely: approach (A) and approach (B). For approach (A), the simultaneous algorithm is applied for adding 11 extra stations to the existing network. Approach (B) consists of two steps: the first step includes choosing the least influential stations of the network, then reallocate them in the second step along with the extra 11 stations using the simultaneous approach. Simulated data are then used to assess the modified networks. The improved network using either approach (A) or approach (B) gives better results than the initial one. However, the network obtained using approach (B) can be considered quite better than that using approach (A).

The global environmental threats and related problems justify the need to shape parameters, conditions and mechanisms for sustainable development. This is especially urgent for developing countries. The purpose of the article is to study the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis and to understand the key determinants of national economy sustainable development. The environmental Kuznets curve is estimated through the relationship between GDP and pollution volumes (e.g., sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon oxide, and dioxide emissions). It was found that Ukraine has not reached a break-even point to start the sloping down pattern of pollution. The paper justifies the need for environmental investments to increase based on the relationships between current/capital environmental costs and air emissions. The paper suggests a specific shape of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) in Ukraine with several break-even points. It is proposed to formulate a coherent policy on economic, social, and environmental components necessary to create the conditions for achieving the break-even point parameters in the Ukrainian economy.

Reuse and recycling of products composed of natural matter is relatively without significant environmental problems. However, recycling of products produced using modern synthetic technologies often brings new challenges. Our analysis has shown that substitution of citric acid with artificial substance of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid causes important environmental problems. The case study carried out in the Elbe river basin shows that the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid concentration standard has been exceeded, particularly from confluence of the Vltava and Elbe rivers. Open questions and tasks for future technological development and environmental policies are formulated, particularly the idea to replace artificial substances with nature-based ones. This would enable better introduction of circular economy ideas in the use of resources.
