Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Environmental Sciences - Climate and environmental protection, grade: 1,7, , language: English, abstract: Agriculture is of fundamental importance for food production and economic growth. However, it also has negative impacts on the natural environment. In particular, the use of fertilizers can lead to soil and water pollution and affect biodiversity. On one hand, nature needs to be protected, which requires reducing negative environmental impacts and safeguarding important ecosystems. On the other hand, sustainable and economic agriculture requires the use of certain practices that bring negative environmental impacts. Therefore, there is a conflict between agriculture and conservation, which requires finding an appropriate balance. This paper focuses on this conflict and possible solutions to it. Specifically, it examines the effects of fertilizers on biodiversity, water quality, and soil quality. Various fertilizers used in agriculture are presented, and a comparison is made between chemical and organic fertilizers. The paper also aims to provide ways to reduce the negative environmental impacts caused by fertilizers.
