AZ AGRÁRGAZDASÁG FENNTARTHATÓSÁGÁNAK MIKRO- ÉS MAKROGAZDASÁGI DILEMMÁI

Sustainable development and environmental consciousness is getting more important. It is a requirement of human activity – i.e. agriculture – to use less artificial chemicals, to decrease environmental burden and to ensure the adequate food supply, by fitting the basic economic criteria. Those farming alternatives are shown in the paper that are based on different chemical use in plant production. It is investigated how the profitability will change when we make changes in former farming activity, and what should be changed to reach income turning to organic faming or precision farming. In developing countries the main question is to produce the essential food demand, but it is necessary to examine the existence of fundamental important factors, the costs of turning technologies, the profitability of farming. During the research it was found out that the change of resource combination and yield affects the cost structure and besides the effectiveness of basic resources it changes the viability of farms. Those priorities should be determined that should be highlighted in sustainability not only on farm level, but national level as well. The knowledge of it is important for farmer, for all participants of agriculture and for the politicians as well.
