Assessment of environmental safety indicators of rural areas

Abstract

The article shows the features of quantitative assessment of the use of natural resources in agricultural sector, environmental impact factors in order to develop adaptation scenarios and mitigate their consequences are identified. This is an alternative option for environmentally sustainable development in agriculture, which allows rational use of land resources. The purpose of the study is to determine the criteria for assessing the impact of agriculture on the environment components, in particular on the atmosphere, hydrosphere and land resources. Methods of economic analysis, comparison, synthesis, decomposition are used for a comprehensive assessment of the functioning of an enterprise in production of agricultural products. In the process of working on this topic, the following results were obtained: an assessment of the impact of functioning of agro-industrial complex on the environment was done. According to the current methods for determining the degree of impact on land resources, the soil quality scores were calculated before and after it. Anthropogenic pressure on the atmosphere and water resources was assessed in accordance with equivalent indicators. On the basis of the results, the authors present recommendations and conclusions on the determination of data characterizing the impact of the stages of agricultural production on the environment. The results of the calculations make it possible to make forecasts and assess the level of environmental safety in agricultural production.
