Agriculture as a productive activity may affect actively both the degradation and the preservation of the environment and natural resources. These latter (soil, water, etc.) are factors relevant to agriculture, therefore, their deterioration may lead to serious economic problems for this could jeopardize our future productive potential. At present, conventional agriculture is questioned due to its degrading effect on natural resources and on the environment in general.
