Description
Summary:The structure of agriculture is increasingly corrected by the need to adapt production to increase the intensity of climate change that leads to building a new concept of resource-saving agriculture, determining the optimal sectoral structure of production and indicators for assessing the implication of adaptation technologies implementation. The aim of the study is to develop the concept of ecological resource-saving agriculture, which will ensure: preservation and reproduction of agricultural land fertility as a decisive factor in food security in the long term; improvement of food quality for the population; expansion of the export potential of agro-food products at the expense of the segment of high-quality, demanded and, therefore, competitive products. An assessment of the consequences of climate change for the industry and possible results of its adaptation suggests that the use of environmentally balanced agricultural systems will ensure adaptation of the industry to climate change on the basis of widespread introduction of innovative technologies that will promote the conservation and restoration of soil fertility, moisture conservation, reduction of production cost through minimization the cost of material resources. As the result, the sustainable productivity, profit increase and food safety while maintaining the resources and the environment will be achieved.
