METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT OF MEDICINAL CROPS PRODUCTION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE
Abstract
The importance and relevance of sustainable development for modern society and the environment are highlighted. The importance of the production of medicinal plants in today's conditions and the need for its development are revealed. The relationship between sustainable development and the production of medicinal plants is revealed. In particular, emphasis is placed on the relationship between the functions of the medicinal plant industry and the goals and objectives of sustainable development. It is noted that the production of medicinal plants has a direct impact on the implementation of environmental goals of sustainable development. Alternative methods of agricultural production are presented, among which regenerative agriculture is singled out. The role and significance of regenerative agriculture and its connection with the production of medicinal plants are revealed. The goals and principles of regenerative agriculture are highlighted. In particular, it is stated: the practical meaning of regenerative agriculture is that farmers use a system of crop rotation, diversify crops and animals, minimize tillage, do not contaminate soil and water with chemicals. It is emphasized that regenerative agriculture as an approach to management is really complex. It envisages not only the restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity, but also the improvement of economic performance of agricultural producers. It is revealed that the basic principles of regenerative agriculture correspond to the production of medicinal plants. In this regard, the principles of functioning of the industry of production medicinal plants are also presented. An analysis of «Sustainable Development Goals: Ukraine» was made. He confirmed that the need to develop the production of medicinal plants on the basis of regenerative agriculture is extremely important for Ukraine. A set of tools for sustainable development in general and agricultural production in particular has been formed. It is substantiated that the observance of the set of methodological principles of regenerative agriculture and the field of production of medicinal plants can lead to a positive synergetic effect.
