TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONSERVATION / ECOLOGICAL AGRICULTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF CURRENT CLIMATE CHANGE – A REVIEW

In the context of severe climate change over the past 20 years, which has led to reduced rainfall and reduced crop yields, identifying solutions to meet these challenges has become a priority for agricultural researchers. Thus, conservative and ecological, organic farming practices have emerged, which can mitigate and even improve crop productivity, even in these harsh conditions for agriculture. This paper is a synthesis of 425 papers published worldwide (Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Asia and Australia) and analyzes how conservative and organic farming practices have influenced the increase in soil quality and health through: no-tillage, covering land with agricultural residues, crop rotation etc.
