This manuscript explores the critical issue of sustainable agriculture and responsible land use, emphasizing the significant role of good agricultural practice (GAP). Despite land being a fundamental resource, a considerable number of farmers, including those in livestock farming, often exhibit irresponsible behavior towards its preservation. Recognizing this as a fundamental concern, the European Union has implemented stringent regulations to address the issue. The initial section of the paper outlines the identification of the problem and provides a concise overview of the European Union's initiatives in this realm. The subsequent section delves into the contentious use of nitrates, a prevalent element in fertilizers aimed at boosting agricultural production. The authors present fundamental aspects of the code of good agricultural practice and its overarching implications, with a focus on the potential application of the code and the integration of the nitrate directive into the legislation of the Republic of Serbia. The manuscript concludes by highlighting the current environmental state in agriculture, asserting that it falls short of satisfactory levels. The authors emphasize the necessity for additional measures to align with the accepted standards of the European Union, underscoring the ongoing imperative for enhanced environmental stewardship in agricultural practices.
