Economic Trend in Developing Sustainable Agriculture and Organic Farming

Abstract

This study examines the importance of organic production for sustainable consumption and evaluates the economic efficiency of cultivating spring barley using organic methods. Field experience was used to determine the profitability of organic cultivation, and laboratory and field observations were conducted on spring barley grown using organic fertilizer. Results show that the maximum yield of spring barley (4.39 t/ha) and profitability (118%) were achieved when applying 50 t/ha of manure with straw by-products and using Ecostern biodestructor at 1 l/t. Challenges in collecting and interpreting market trends and demand data for eco-products may limit the research. Further research may investigate the impact of environmental sustainability on the economic performance of eco-farms and demand for organic products. The practical significance of the research makes it useful for developing norms and practical approaches to organic agriculture and solving environmental problems.
