Incomplete recovery of soil fertility as a factor of the geoecological content of the food problem: regional aspect

Abstract

The article considers the incomplete recovery of soil fertility as a geoecological and sociogenic factor of the food problem, requiring not only improving soil properties, increasing its ability to provide plants with the factors necessary for their growth and development in the long-term cycle but also preventing degradation of productive lands. In the chain of safe existence of society, a significant transforming role is assigned to the ecological state of the soil in the process of intensive reproduction of high-quality agricultural products, thereby expanding the consideration of the problem of safe human development in the field of environmental benefits. A prerequisite for the provision of environmentally friendly products of agricultural production is the assessment of the ecological state of the soils of productive land, which is carried out to obtain comprehensive information about the properties of the land as the main means of production in agriculture. This assessment allows identifying primarily problem areas from an environmental point of view as well as determining the amount of financial support in cases of their rehabilitation. For the conditions of the Amur Region, there is a set of measures to prevent the degradation of productive land, which must be interconnected with the tasks of implementing the plan for the production of agricultural products, taking into account zonality and economic efficiency.
