Information and analytical system to ensure environmental safety of agricultural production

Summary. The study analyzed the environmental impact of agricultural technologies and the current legal and regulatory documents. Further, the study designed an information and analytical system for estimating the environmental compliance of agricultural enterprises and supporting the related managerial decision-making. The article describes the structure and some features of the system.

Introduction. In today's world, the acute are the issues of human and environmental security. The Stockholm+50 conference held in 2022 drew attention to the unfolding triple planetary crisis of climate change, ecosystem degradation and environmental pollution. The efforts of all countries should be focused on overcoming it. In recent years, our country has adopted several important documents referring to combating the climate change and promoting the global sustainability, environmental management, and human well-being. The environmental impact of agricultural sector is ever increasing with introducing the industrial production methods into agricultural technologies. There is a growing relevance of monitoring and forecasting the environmental conditions in agroecosystems. This supports their management and ensures their sustainable functioning and development. The decision-making is effective only through processing of large amounts of data. Digital platforms allow for rapid analysis of the required information thus reducing the time and improving the quality of decisions.

Object. The study object was the information and analytical systems for assessing the environmental safety of agroecosystems and supporting the decision-making on their management.

Materials and Methods. The study applied the system analysis, analytical methods and generalization of research results from literature sources. The information system was implemented in the Visual FoxPro 9.0 software development environment.

Results and conclusions. An information and analytical system was designed to improve the planning efficiency of agricultural production development with due account for environmental requirements complying with current legislation and regulations. The developed database got a State Registration Certificate No. 2023621601 dated May 19, 2023. To date, the database contains about 600 documents. The system’s functionality allows quickly finding the required materials, methods and standards for environmental assessment of agricultural enterprises, planning work on their development following the environmental requirements and, accordingly, making necessary calculations for the environmental assessment.
