SUSTAINABILITY IN AGRICULTURAL PROCESSES

Finding a balance between the environment and the use of natural resources is the process that must be carried out in order to achieve sustainability. Therefore, any type of research that has the objective of being able to "satisfy the needs of current generations without compromising the resources and opportunities for the growth and development of future generations, is and will be of great importance". The research work carried out in the area of agricultural production is so important because the current and future challenges to produce are increasing, demanding higher production rates. In this context, the challenge for researchers lies in reducing as much as possible the problems we face every day. In order to curb the various problems existing in the agricultural field, the participation of specialists in the area is necessary, in order to take advantage of sustainable resources in a social and integral manner and to make the results obtained available to society as a whole. In addition to inculcating knowledge and directing undergraduate and master's degree students who are starting out in agricultural research, it is also necessary to promote the participation of specialists who are inclusive in the area.
