Location
The Latvia University of Agriculture (LLU) Strategic Development Plan 2010-2016, was developed during 2009 and approved by the LLU Senate on June 10, 2009.
In order to perform its functions and implement its goals and objectives, the Latvia University of Agriculture has developed three activity programs:
1. Studies
2. Science
3. Administrative and financial support for studies and research work
The goal of the Latvia University of Agriculture is to provide the possibility to obtain higher academic and higher professional education in agriculture, veterinary medicine, food technology, engineering, forestry science, social science, information technologies and environment management sectors as well as to develop science and to maintain and develop the Latvian intellectual potential and culture.
The objectives of the LLU:
To ensure the study quality corresponding with the standards of a national university what would allow to educate competitive specialists for the Latvian and international labor markets.
To develop the scientific potential to participate in international research, to integrate the academic education and research what would ensure introduction of innovative, knowledge - based technologies into the Latvian national economy, specially, in the Zemgale region.
To ensure sustainable development for the university as a national education, science and culture institution:
to strengthen the legal basis;
to improve the organizational structure in accordance
to the LLU objectives;to develop cooperation with institutions, academic education and science institutions in Latvia and abroad, enterprises and professional organizations and regional institutions of Zemgale;
to manage the LLU material and technical basis effectively.
The LLU mission
To develop the intellectual potential for sustainable future of Latvia and especially rural areas.
The LLU vision
To become a modern, internationally recognized and prestige university, taking part in the common European academic education and science space.

Displaying 66 - 70 of 152Petroleum-contaminated soils price regulation for aids of land use optimization and ecological risk mitigation
The widespread practice involves remediation of petroleum-contaminated soils by an intense usage of microbiological remedies. However, this approach lacks the study of consequences for the soil fertility and other environmental factors. According to our laboratory and field studies, the petroleum-contaminated high-grade soils under certain conditions can be effectively remediated with the increase in fertility and decrease in toxicity. We propose the modification to the land price regulation practice, which will promote the usage of such advantageous remediation techniques, when required.
Analysis of purposes of use of real property in municipalities of Latvia
One of the cornerstones of sustainable use of land resources is the use of land resources for the identified needs. In every country it is needed to list the land according to the type of land use. Such function of land classification in Latvia is maintained by the classification of purpose of real property use. In a certain period of time needs of the specific purposes for which the land resources are used are changing, so the aim of this study is to research changes of areas of purpose of real property use in municipalities of Latvia.
Possibilities of application of orthophoto maps in determination of land degradation
Aim of the paper is to explore the possibilities of application of orthophoto maps in determination of land degradation. One of the forms of remote sensing is aerial photography. Orthophoto maps are made from aerial photography with specialized software orthophoto maps were analysed in perspective for several years – from 2005 to 2011.The results are based on the expert. With each year possibilities of application of orthophoto maps are expanding. During the research, data of survey and SWOT analysis of determination of land degradation by orthophoto maps.
The use of arable land for production of green and preserved fodder in Northern Kazakhstan
The cultivation of unconventional feed crops in the North of Kazakhstan allows to use tillage efficiently for the long period for the production of green and preserved balanced fodder. As a green manure after plowing culture to raise the low fertility of the arable land. The aim is a long cultivation of unconventional fodder cultures for profitable and double-cutting production of green and juiced fodder. The tasks are: 1. to estimate the quality of the first cutting by the yield, food-value, economical efficiency; 2.
Identification of areas with unfavourable agriculture development conditions in terms of shape and size of parcels with example of southern Poland
Modern agriculture development possibilities are highly dependent on many factors, including those which are related to the parameters of land spatial structure (including parcels fragmentation and parameters related to their shape). In particular, unfavourable shape of parcels in combination with their small sizes is the most common reason for non-profitability of agricultural production. It is one of the major causes of land abandonment. South Poland is the area of high diversification in terms of the landform, soil quality and spatial structure parameters.
