Ecology as the main way for sustainable development in agriculture

Abstract

Based on these facts, it is clear that agriculture has a detrimental impact on the environment at this stage of development. Taking into account the negative consequences of its activities, it can be concluded that, in today’s world, there should be tendencies to create ecological equilibrium, soil recovery, restoration of biogeochemical cycles, improvement of the resilience of agro-ecosystems to ensure the cleanliness of all agricultural products. Their successful solution can only be based on environmental management, a comprehensive system of measures to conserve wildlife, and increased agricultural and livestock productivity. Positioning Russia as a country with good and clean lands for the production of food materials, with rich genetic resources, the good environmental situation in many agricultural regions will contribute to the creation of a favorable investment climate in such industries as ecological agriculture, production of environmentally friendly products, development of environmental, agricultural, and gastronomic tourism, service and restaurant sectors. Making the ecologization of agriculture a priority will help to address problems such as increasing soil fertility at the expense of soil-forming organisms, preserving the biodiversity of plants, animals, increasing the sustainability of agro- and biocenoses and it will ultimately lead to the restoration and preservation of human health.
