THE ROLE OF GREEN INNOVATIONS IN INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
Abstract
This article examines the importance of green innovations such as regenerative agriculture, AI, drone technology, and carbon farming in addressing the environmental crisis in the agrarian sector caused by water scarcity and soil degradation in the Republic. This scientific-analytical approach, based on the analysis of global and local experiences, numerically proves that the introduction of these innovations can reduce water consumption by up to 54%, pesticide use by up to 60%, and increase productivity by up to 31%. In addition to the mission of the mechanism to protect the environment, green innovations have the potential to increase farmer income and add billions of dollars to the national economy. These green innovations, in addition to being an ecological necessity, have the potential to increase farmer income and add billions of dollars to the country's economy. What is noteworthy is that this article also proposes a financially sound road-map for the widespread introduction of these technologies by 2030. To do this, relying on existing theoretical methodological research, we will try to systematize green innovations and identify the main patterns, for which it is necessary to understand it as an object in order to more deeply understand the role of green innovations.
