The Effect of Natural Production on the Environment

All kinds of vegetables, fruits and fruits that are produced with natural production conditions for thousands of years do not harm the nature's own balance and also support the thousands of animal breeds living in the nature to live in their own conditions. However, with the rapid increase in the population, artificial methods are used in order to meet the food need and to obtain more products from a sterile area. Artificial production methods that destroy this type of environment and destroy natural living conditions limit the increase in green environment and healthy product yield.

Thanks to the correct irrigation techniques used in the natural production stage, high-yielding agricultural activities take place and the animals living in that environment are not exposed to bad conditions caused by any wrong irrigation practices. When it is thought, wrong irrigation application causes the ground water to rise, if it is produced with fertilizer and chemical medication, it causes mixing of the water, and the animals drinking from these waters catch the disease and soil erosion. In order not to encounter such basic environmental problems, correct irrigation is essential with natural production.

Planting vigil applied in natural production increases the efficiency of plants and nutrients in the soil and prevents the reproduction of diseases and pests in the soil. It decreases soil erosion and causes agriculture to reach better dimensions.

At the same time, the restriction of the rate of fertilization used in agricultural production positively affects the environmental conditions. When the fertilizer is used in accordance with natural conditions, the soil, air and water pollution arising is minimized. In addition, the quality of the plant will be improved. Avoiding too much fertilizer by supporting natural production reduces the accumulation of toxic substances in the soil. In many European countries, nitrogen fertilizer use has been minimized, especially in groundwater protection zones. Using nitrogenous fertilizer mixes with drinking water and streams, resulting in an increase in nitrate. For this reason, since the use of nitrogen fertilizers is restricted in natural production conditions, the health of vegetables and fruits grown in any soil, as well as the living creatures of nature, are protected.

Chemical substances used in the production and consumption of nutrients to destroy small microorganisms that infect plants and prevent the growth and development of plants are called pesticides. Pollution of these chemical wastes into the environment by contaminating the soil, water and air affects human and animal health. However, the fact that synthetic-based drugs used in natural production and used to destroy small creatures leave residues in the environment does not cause any disease and adverse environmental damage.

These chemical drugs, which are used during agricultural production, can mix with water and destroy living creatures on the water's edge. These pesticides entering the water ecosystem negatively affect the water flora and fauna. In natural production, drugs that are not broad spectrum, selective and degradable quickly in soil and water are preferred. In this selection, it is aimed to cause the least harm to the environment and ecosystem.

History of Environmental Protection and Combating Environmental Problems with Natural Production

Environmental protection has increased more since ancient times, but as of 1970, real activities started. Thanks to these activities, human beings are more conscious about the culture of environmental protection.

While farmers, peasants and people engaged in land, especially agricultural producers, did not think about environmental damage beforehand, benefited from the blessings of technology while growing their products thanks to the technology that changed and developed in the late 1980s.

As a result of natural production, environmental problems have been minimized, the natural balance of the environment has been preserved and it has not been exposed to the bad results of any living agriculture. Societies that protect their environment and nature are increasing and making progress compared to the past.
