There are two major issues here, and this is valid for any country.
With social progress, the world population has increased.
And to feed them all, we used all kinds of technologies and all kinds of chemicals.
With damage to the environment.

First, in this process, man has forgotten that he himself is part of the environment, and that he depends on it for his own survival.
Second, unsustainable means that humanity consumes more natural resources than nature can provide.
We must therefore repair this damage, and at the same time learn to produce so as not to repeat the same mistakes.
The breeding of insects, aquaponics and geoponics are the main directions of these new agricultural trends.
Raising insects as a raw material for livestock feed supplements, and many other uses.
As for aquaponics, it is a system that unites plant culture and fish farming;
the plants are sometimes cultivated on clay balls, which can be irrigated in a closed circuit with water coming from an aquarium where the fish are raised.
We therefore combine aquaculture and fish farming.
