ABSTRACT
The requirements to develop a sustainable agriculture clearly are not just biological or technical, but also social, economic, and political, and illustrate the requirements needed to create a sustainable society. Dramatic increases in crop productivity in modern agriculture have been accompanied in many instances by environmental degradation, social problems and by excessive use of natural resources. The requirements to develop a sustainable agriculture clearly are not just biological or technical, but also social, economic, and political, and illustrate the requirements needed to create a sustainable society. The structure of corporate agriculture and the organization of agricultural research prevent ecological research recommendations from being incorporated into agricultural management systems. In modern agroecosystems, the experimental evidence suggests that biodiversity can be used for improved pest management.
