Abstract
The paper deals with the environmental issues of agriculture. Examples are given that pose a threat to the vital activity of living organisms from various types of agricultural and human activities. The subject of the study is the analysis of environmental issues arising from the intensification of the development of agricultural industry. Intensive agricultural activity leads to pollution of surface rivers, lakes, seas and groundwater, soil degradation and aquatic ecosystems; violation of the water regime in large areas during drainage and irrigation; desertification due to wind erosion; destruction of natural habitats of living organisms of flora and fauna. An urgent problem of agriculture is a decrease in the content of vitamins and microelements in crop production and the accumulation of harmful substances in them. The reasons for these negative processes are soil degradation, intensification of agricultural production.

Summary
Modern people living in a high-tech and urbanized world are very concerned about ecology and healthy eating. This circumstance gives rise to a steadily growing demand for the socalled “environmentally friendly food” [1]. Since people often understand very different things by this term, it is very difficult to give it an exact definition. The only thing that can be said without offending the truth is that organic food is one that has been grown with minimal or no fertilizers, chemicals and GMOs. According to the definition of the Congress, adaptive agriculture is “an integrated system of technologies for the production of plant and livestock products, which has specific features, which will allow maintaining the ecological balance of nature in the future and restoring natural resources on which the agricultural economy depends
