Application of alternative agricultural production in Serbia

Abstract

As reaction to distinct negative effect of modern agricultural technology and techniques on preservation and protection of environment, lately research of alternative methods of efficient agricultural production in conditions of necessary ecological limits is intensified. The term alternative, biological, ecological or organic agriculture are often determined as systems and methods of plant and livestock production which are in collision with system of ordinary agriculture. Alternative agriculture represents production system which avoids or considerably excludes the application of synthetic mineral fertilizers, pesticides growth regulators and food additives. For control and management of product quality ISO 9000 standards were adopted, and for management of quality of environment is determined by standards ISO 14000. Main purpose of legislatory regulations is protection of health of the population and biodiversity. Standards and regulations on protection of environment valid in EU will be applied on the territory of member states. They will directly or indirectly be transferred through various market mechanisms to wide European area. Adjustment of Serbian economy includes harmonization with the EU policy on protection of the environment which will enhance the competitiveness of Serbian economy on European and world market.

Kao reakcija na izraženo negativno dejstvo savremene poljoprivredne tehnologije i tehnike na održanje i zaštitu životne sredine u poslednje vreme se intenziviraju istraživanja alternativnih načina ekonomski efikasnog obavljanja poljoprivredne proizvodnje u uslovima neophodnih ekoloških ograničenja. Pojam alternativna, biološka, ekološka ili organska poljoprivreda često su označeni kao sistemi i načini obavljanja biljne i stočarske proizvodnje koji su u koliziji sa sistemom već uobičajene poljoprivrede. Alternativna poljoprivreda predstavlja sistem proizvodnje koji izbegava ili znatno isključuje primenu sintetičkih mineralnih đubriva. pesticida, regulatora rasta i aditiva u hrani. Za upravljanje kvalitetom proizvoda usvojeni su standardi ISO 9000, a upravljanje kvalitetom životne sredine planirano je standardima ISO 14000. Osnovna svrha zakonodavne regulative je zaštita zdravlja populacije i biodiverziteta. Standardi i pravila zaštite životne sredine EU primenjivati će se na prostoru zemalja članica. Oni će direktno i indirektno tržišnim mehanizmima biti preneti na širok evropski prostor. Prilagođavanje srpske privrede podrazumeva usaglašavanje sa politikom zaštite životne sredine EU, što će pojačati konkurentnost privrede Srbije na evropskom i svetskom tržištu.
