How can organic farming combine the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the increase of biodiversity?
Dear Researchers, Scientists, Friends,
Organic farming aims to reduce the negative impact on the environment. The dilemma is whether the main focus should be on reducing emissions, e.g. methane and carbon dioxide, or on measures to promote biodiversity, such as the protection of pollinating insects and multi-species cultivation. According to the accepted research hypothesis, the priority in organic farming should be to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to counteract global warming. On the other hand, increasing biodiversity should be a priority because it is the basis for the sustainable functioning of agricultural ecosystems. Organic farming is a key element of the green transformation of the economy, but the goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing biodiversity can be mutually exclusive. For example, intensive efforts to reduce emissions can lead to the simplification of production processes, which can negatively affect biodiversity. On the other hand, measures to promote biodiversity, such as the creation of buffer zones or the reduction of pesticides, can lead to increased emissions due to the greater area requirements. Interdisciplinary research, including agricultural sciences, ecology and economics, is essential to find the optimal balance between these objectives.
I have described the key issues concerning the problem of the ongoing process of global warming, the negative effects of this process and, consequently, the need to increase the scale and accelerate the implementation of the process of green transformation of the economy, climate protection, biosphere and biodiversity of the planet in the following article:

In the following article, I have summarised the results of my research on the relationship between sustainability issues, the origin and significance of the Sustainable Development Goals, the essence of sustainability in the context of social, normative, economic, environmental, climate and human rights aspects, etc. The research also addressed the issue of key determinants of human existential security as an element of the concept of sustainable development.
