Sustainable development goals

Abstract

Soil is one of the most important and non-renewable elements of the environment. In order to improve income and increase productivity from the soil, various techniques (e.g. tillage) and substances (e.g. pesticides, fertilisers) have been employed. The use of these techniques and substances increased soil degradation. This is coupled with other socioeconomic processes that occurred in recent years, such as the land-use change from forest areas to agricultural lands. For this reason, in recent decades, awareness has been raised about these issues, and various regulations have been dictated on the need to protect the environment and the soil in agricultural areas, identify sustainable practices to implement in agricultural areas, control the number of fertilisers and pesticides used, and protect the mosaic of territories to avoid further degradation.
