Agriculture includes the entire chain of processes from cultivating soil, growing and harvesting crops, and raising animals to producing food, logistics, and supply for human consumption worldwide. It is crucial to human society, global economics, and environmental sustainability. Agriculture supports local economies and helps address global food security, environmental, and climate change issues. With a growing global population, these issues are particularly important because meeting nutritional needs and ensuring consistent and reliable food production are essential tasks.
Currently, agriculture combines both traditional farming methods and modern innovative techniques, biotechnology, and sustainable practices to meet the needs of current and future generations. It involves collaboration and coordination with other sectors to provide high-quality, safe, and nutritious products while simultaneously protecting the environment. Scientists are working on reducing waste and the negative environmental impact, using resources efficiently, conserving water and soil health, adapting to climate changes that create risks to agriculture and harvest yields, and promoting biodiversity for future generations.
Agricultural methods include organic farming, agroecological and biotechnology techniques, integrated pest management, crop rotation, selection of resistant varieties, reducing the use of harmful chemicals, optimizing fertilizer use, water-efficient practices like drip irrigation, climate-smart methods, digital farming, enhancing biodiversity, preserving natural habitats, and integrating renewable energy. These methods help ensure the long-term viability and sustainability of farming ecosystems and avoid soil degradation, water contamination, and loss of biodiversity.

Aeroponics and hydroponics are two innovative technologies for planting without soil, using nutrient-rich water and air instead. These methods have gained popularity due to their efficiency, sustainability, and ability to produce crops year-round and in diverse environments, even when traditional farming is impossible due to unsuitable or nutrient-poor soil. Vertical aeroponic systems are ideal for space-limited environments and urban agriculture. Plants are placed so that their roots hang freely in the air and are misted with a nutrient-rich solution through nozzles or atomizers at regular intervals. In hydroponics, plants are grown in a solid medium like perlite, rock wool, clay pellets, or coconut coir, and their roots are regularly exposed to a nutrient solution using drip, ebb, flow, or wicking systems. Both systems ensure rapid plant growth by providing an optimal balance of nutrients directly to the roots. Hydroponics is more widespread, universal, and accessible even for beginners, while aeroponics requires more technical expertise, equipment, and a controlled environment; however, it is more water-efficient.

This sample illustrates the system of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), which is an alternative to traditional grazing systems. The main products of the industry are meat, milk, and eggs for human consumption. It is a high-input, high-output system of animal husbandry, which causes many disputes about efficiency, benefits, health risks, environmental impact, animal welfare, and ethics, as these animals are kept confined for over 45 days a year. Proper waste management is also crucial because CAFOs generate millions of tons of manure annually, and harmful pollutants pose substantial risks to the environment, water quality, and public health. The waste includes soluble nitrogen compounds and phosphorus, pathogens and bacteria, salts, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, organic matter, solids, harmful trace elements, and odorous or volatile compounds such as methane, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and arsenic.

Nitrogen is an essential component for both animals and plants. It exists in living organisms being a component of proteins and nucleic acids. The atmosphere comprises 78 percent of inorganic nitrogen gas. This sustainable agriculture infographic shows the nitrogen cycle — the process of circulation of nitrogen from the atmosphere to the soil and organisms and back into the atmosphere, which includes the steps of fixation, assimilation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification. When passing these steps, nitrogen undergoes various types of transformation and is converted into many forms. During the nitrogen fixation process, nitrogen is converted into ammonia. Then, at the nitrification step, ammonia is converted into nitrate with the help of Nitrosomonas bacteria in the soil. At the assimilation stage, plants absorb the nitrogen compounds from the soil by roots and use them to build proteins, amino acids, and nucleic acids. Ammonification refers to the release of organic nitrogen from dead plants, animals, and waste products back into the soil, where it is converted into ammonium and ammonia by bacteria and fungi present in the soil. At the final stage of denitrification, nitrate is converted into gaseous nitrogen by bacterial species Clostridium and Pseudomonas and is released back into the atmosphere.

Pesticides are chemicals used in agriculture to protect crops from various pests that can damage and decrease yield. These include insects, fungi, rodents, and weeds as well. This sample shows the pathways of pesticide movement in the hydrologic cycle. Currently, this is a really important issue because using pesticides can cause significant environmental problem. In addition, the overuse of these strong chemicals can lead to pest resistance. Unintentional diffusion or drift of pesticides in the hydrologic cycle contaminates soil, water, and air, and is harmful to the environment, crops, biodiversity, beneficial insects, birds, animals, fish, and human health. Pesticides can cause a range of health problems, such as respiratory and skin diseases, neurological disorders, and others. Therefore, the key aim of sustainable practices and pest management is to reduce pesticide use and improve control of their application. Agriculture diagrams and farm graphics are an illustrative way to show complex environmental issues and concepts, helping to solve them.

This sample shows the process of transformation of calcium cyanamide to plant-available forms of nitrogen as a result of contact with water in the soil. Calcium cyanamide is an inorganic compound with properties of both effective slow-release nitrogen fertilizer and herbicide. When used as a fertilizer in agriculture, calcium cyanamide passes several stages. When it contacts with water, it hydrolyses into calcium hydroxide increasing soil pH and makes it more alkaline. Through hydrolysis in the presence of carbon dioxide, cyanamide is produced. It has both herbicide and pest-deterrent properties, and its further hydrolysis leads to forming urea, which in its turn is converted by soil bacteria into ammonium, oxidized by nitrifying bacteria into nitrite and nitrate, and in this form is easily absorbed by plants and supports their growth.
