ECONOMIC ASYMMETRIES OF PRODUCTION IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR

Abstract

The development of efficient and sustainable agriculture requires its permanent transformation. In this aspect, various methods of growing plants and breeding animals are applied to optimize production. These methods are distinguished mainly as: traditional (conventional) production, organic production, production of genetically modified organisms. From this standpoint, attention is drawn to: covering the widest possible range of terms used to characterize the variety of plant growing and animal breeding methods; a brief overview of the established in theory and practice modern methods of plant growing and animal breeding; delimiting the notion of biological – as a vital process, regardless of the plants and animals production technology (including the use of organic fertilizers; preparations containing live bacteria; treated seeds with live bacteria, etc.). The methods of the present study are scientific research methods: induction and deduction method, retrospective analysis and others; illustrative methods - schemes, figures and others. Regarding the expected results, this article focuses on highlighting the social, economic and environmental aspects of production of plant and animal products. Production in the agricultural sector must be aimed at recovery of residues and waste from crop and livestock production in harmony with the environment.
