Abstract

Modern economic development is related to introducing intensive forms of agriculture, including total schematization and automation. This study aims to assess the agriculture of European countries in terms of environmental protection in ensuring sustainable development of agriculture based on organic technologies. It was found that ecological problems are the main challenges for agriculture, namely, water pollution, soil pollution, and the intensive introduction of genetically modified crops. The economic problems of agricultural production increase the risks of cultivation, harvesting, and processing. In this study, was applied an approach that allowed assessing the economic component of the organic agricultural production development in the EU countries. Countries with a strong focus on agriculture pay much more attention to introducing ecological and organic practices in this sector. It has been demonstrated that all EU countries, to a significant extent, prioritize ecological development in the modern agricultural sector. The intensity of implementing such technologies depends on the country's environmental potential and the level of agricultural sector development within the national economy's structure.
