Produktbeschreibung

Conventional agriculture is responsible for causing environmental damage as a result of the intensive use of pesticides and intensive agricultural mechanization. Conventional production tends to deplete natural resources, with biological, physical and chemical degradation of the soil. On the other hand, conservation agriculture is the main and most important alternative for preserving natural resources, creating conservation production systems, described in the literature as agroecosystems. In this system, all chemical inputs are drastically reduced or not used at all. Sustainable production thus makes it possible to continue producing food that meets demand, while preserving the natural resources available. The term soil quality or soil health has become more relevant in recent years. The concept of soil quality is one of the components of a conservation production system and is presented as an alternative to conventional management.
