INNOVATIVE AGRICULTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS

Agriculture is one of the largest and strategic sectors in the world. High yields have been achieved with intensive agriculture practiced since the 1960s. However, as a result of unconscious practices, the sustainability of natural assets has decreased with factors that tire the soil and pollute the environment (greenhouse gas emissions, loss of biodiversity, melting of glaciers, etc.). The primary advantage of sustainable agriculture is protecting the environment, reducing erosion and natural resource degradation, improving air and water quality, increasing biodiversity as well as reducing carbon emissions. In order to manage this process correctly, environment and agriculture friendly innovative studies and solution-centered holistic approaches are required. Agricultural innovations based on strong scientific foundations have improved both production and production capacity.
