Abstract

Today, intensive agricultural production is presented as a key production system for maintaining global food security, but at the same time it brings with it numerous challenges that affect the environment. This paper will analyze the impact of intensive agriculture on the environment, investigating how these processes can have different effects on ecosystems. The positive and negative impacts of technological progress will be analyzed. In which aspects of water and air pollution, loss of biodiversity and climate change will be included. Also, aspects of enabling increased productivity and food security for the world’s population, more efficient use of resources, as well as the possibility of producing higher yields on smaller areas. This paper will also present a set of measures that directly affect the reduction of the negative impact of intensive agriculture, enabling the sustainability of agricultural production.
