Abstract
The article presents the basic principles of organic (natural) farming in “Agroecology” are: soil preserving technologies, that is, seed bed is processed to depth of 5 cm for all the crops while surface is mulched with harvest residues; soil fertility is restored with the aid of organic fertilizers (manure - at least 24-26 t/ha, non-tradable crop residues and green manure crops); synthetic fertilizers are not applied (nitrogen is supplied through entering legumes into crop rotation (more than 20% saturation); agro-technical measures to protect crops from weeds and stubble crops (cruciferous green manure sown after harvesting, which has allelopathic effect on weeds); crop protection from pests and diseases with the aid of agricultural practices, prevention and biological methods; correction of land use patterns and optimal crop structure modelling. The proposed work based on the example of private enterprise “Agroecology” is used for environmental education in rural schools in Poltava region, as well as in higher education establishment, including Poltava State Agrarian Academy, specialized education centers and non-formal education institutions. The program of residential areas development should always take into account human activities and its problems, natural feature and value of the environment (be in harmony with nature), cultural and historical heritage of rural areas.
