A Comparative Analysis of Organic and Conventional Agriculture in the Czech Republic and Ukraine

Original language description

Organic agriculture ensures the implementation of the SDGs, as it creates sustainable food production systems crop technology, animal husbandry. Abandonment of pesticides and chemicals contributes to the preservation of ecosystems, biodiversity, restores soil quality, and improves the quality of water resources and, consequently, the life of organisms. This study was undertaken to contribute to the understanding the sustainable agriculture in the Czech Republic and Ukraine. Therefore, the objective of this research was to assess and compare organic agriculture in the Czech Republic and Ukraine on the implementation of goals and components of sustainable development. The paper is critically considered the ecological, economic and social practices in both countries and revisited agricultural policies to promote local and regional agricultural markets for last years. Methods of systematic and comparative analysis, interdisciplinary approaches were used to obtain results. Results showed a lower environmental impact of agricultural practices in the organic system, mainly due to the higher efficiency in reducing the impact on fossil fuel depletion. A comparison of data in both countries showed that fertilization is the first priority to optimize the farming, particularly in the organic system, however, manure fertilization results in higher costs for farms engaged only in crop production.
