Problems and prospects of environmental safety of domestic agriculture

Abstract

The basis for the environmental safety of agricultural products should be the production of products in accordance with natural resources. In other words, it is the idea of a closed cycle, where organic livestock fertilizers are both an ecological and economic principle of production. Species diversity in the ecosystem is also an important factor in environmental safety. These are different ways of crop rotation, regulating the formation of weeds and their destruction by mechanical means, rather than by chemical means, laying hedges and habitats. These measures protect nature and do not disturb its ecological balance. Ecological agriculture aims to consider and use the soil more efficiently. For example, wetlands are better used for grassland farming rather than ploughing these sites. Also long overdue is the problem of state support of domestic farmers who produce the cleanest ecological products, more similar in composition to organic products. Guided by the principles of landscaping in agriculture, it is possible to obtain products that will not bring harm, will be high-quality and useful. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2020.
