Problems of saving resources in agriculture are considered. Resource-saving is a result of the requirements of the economy, ecologization of production and professional environmental knowledge of agricultural specialists. It is expedient in the conditions of technogenic loading to save resources by ecologization of agricultural activities. The transition to the environmentally safe, economically justifiable and socially acceptable strategy for agricultural production depends on the level of environmental education of students of the agricultural universities of Ukraine.

The aim of the work was to form ideas about rational nutrition as an element of ecological education of students by studying and discussing their eating behavior in relation to foods rich in vitamin D using quantitative descriptor-profile analysis. Quantitative descriptor-profile analysis showed that the “poorest” profiles have foods with the highest vitamin D. Thus, foods with a high vitamin D content do not fall into the circle of students’ dietary preferences. The results of the survey showed that the most frequently consumed foods for young people are fried potatoes, pizza, dumplings and cheese. Products such as cheese, butter, artificial red caviar, mushrooms (chanterelles) can be successfully used as a base for fortification with vitamin D, since they are positively perceived by students and affordable. It was shown that cheese is the only product that, when surveyed by 59 young people, was included both in the list of 5 most favorite and frequently consumed foods, and was selected from the list of 22 foods offered to the respondents containing significant amounts of vitamin D. The research carried out is the basis for forming students’ understanding of the importance of a balanced diet in the context of environmental education.

AbstractEnvironmental education is concerned with developing both environmental knowledge and positive attitudes towards the environment. An experiential simulation activity about a native Australian bird was designed to develop both these aspects. The simulation was implemented with nine classes of 10-12 year old children. The children completed a survey before and after the simulation and their teachers reported on their responses. The results showed that the children developed additional knowledge of kookaburras and their survival and that their attitudes towards the environment became more positive. Moreover, the children themselves believed they had increased their knowledge and changed their feelings of responsibility towards the environment as a result of the simulation.

L’étude aborde la dynamique de l’utilisation des terres à travers l’évolution des emblavures et de la production des principales cultures, puis l’impact des activités agricoles sur l’environnement et les conditions de vie des populations. Objectif : L’objectif global de l’étude était d’évaluer les impacts socio-environnementaux des activités agricoles dans les Communes de Natitingou, Boukombé, Tanguiéta et Toucountouna en zone de montagnes au nord-ouest de l’Atacora au Bénin. Méthodologie et résultats : Les méthodes utilisées étaient les enquêtes exploratoires, les diagnostics participatifs, les sondages d’opinion et les analyses statistiques tels que la variance suivant le test de Tukey et le test de corrélation. Au total, 400 agriculteurs sont sélectionnés au hasard et interrogés dans huit villages des quatre communes à l'aide d'un questionnaire structuré pour obtenir des données relatives aux nombres de cultures produites sur une même parcelle, aux différentes pratiques agricoles, à l'utilisation des engrais minéraux, à l’adoption des techniques endogènes et exogènes de gestion et de conservation de la fertilité des sols dans le milieu. Les résultats ont montré que les systèmes de productions agricoles étaient encore de type extensif et itinérant sur brûlis. Les cultures étaient mises en place en pure et en associations entre avril et décembre avec une prééminence des céréales qui ont occupé environ 52 % des superficies emblavées. Les productions étaient plus en fonction des superficies que de l’intensification agricole. Les causes de dégradation des sols, la production, ont été collectées lors des entretiens collectifs et individuels. Les impacts de la production agricole se traduisaient surtout entre autres, par la disparition du couvert végétal, la baisse de la fertilité des sols et la pollution de certains cours d’eau aux bords desquels se réalisaient des activités à dominance agricole. Conclusion et application des résultats : Certaines activités telles que l’utilisation des engrais chimiques et les feux de végétation ont résolu d’une manière ponctuelle certains problèmes comme l’amélioration des rendements agricoles et l’augmentation des revenus, mais elles n’ont pas duré dans le temps. Au fil des années, ces activités ont eu un impact négatif sur le milieu et les conditions de vie des populations. L’intensification agricole basée sur la vulgarisation et l’adoption des technologies plus productives et respectueuses de l’environnement, efficientes, facilement applicables par les producteurs, demeure l’une des stratégies pour garantir une utilisation durable des ressources naturelles. Mots clés: Bénin, Atacora, activités agricoles, impacts socio-environnementaux et dégradation des sols ABSTRACT The study approaches the dynamics of the land use through the evolution of cultivated area and the production of the principal crops, then the impacts of the agricultural activities on the environment and the living conditions of the population. Objective: The total objective of the study was to evaluate the socio-environmental impacts of the agricultural activities in the Communes of Natitingou, Boukombe, Tanguieta and Toucountouna in mountainous area in the North-Western of Atacora in Benin. Methodology and Results: The methods used were the exploratory investigations, the participative diagnoses, the opinion polls and statistical analyses such as the variance according to the test of Tukey and the test of correlation. On the whole, 400 farmers were selected randomly and questioned in eight villages of the four communes using a structured questionnaire to obtain relative data with the numbers of cultures produced on the same piece, with various husbandries, with the use of mineral manures, the adoption of the endogenous and exogenous technical of management and conservation of the fertility of the grounds in the medium. The results showed that agricultural production systems were still extensive and itinerant on slash-and-burn. Crops were established in pure and association between April and December with a pre-eminence of cereals, which accounted for about 52% of the area. Productions were more based on acreage than agricultural intensification. The causes of soil degradation, production, were collected during collective and individual interviews. The impacts of agricultural production were mainly reflected in the disappearance of vegetation cover, the decline in soil fertility and the pollution of certain rivers along which agricultural-dominated activities were carried out. Conclusion and application of results: Some activities such as the use of chemical fertilizers and wildfires have solved problems such as improving agricultural yields and increasing incomes on an ad hoc basis, but they didn’t last. Over the years, these activities have negatively affected the environment and living conditions of the population. The agricultural intensification based on the popularization and the adoption of more productive and environment friendly technologies, easily applicable by the producers, remains one of the strategies to guarantee a durable use of the natural resources. Keywords: Benin, Atacora, agricultural activities, socio-environmental impacts and impoverishment of the soil

The aim of this study was to estimate emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) generated by the agricultural activities carried out in the Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley (AMVA), located in Medellin - Colombia. A TIER 1 approach of the methodology of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC was followed. Emissions of GHG from cropland, aggregate sources and non-CO2 emissions from land were estimated and analysis of the uncertainty of activity data and emission factors were made. The estimated total emission was 63.1 and 66 Gg CO2 eq for 2009 and 2011, respectively. The greatest contribution to greenhouse gases in agricultural production was the application of nitrogen to soils in the form of synthetic and organic fertilizers, which was associated with direct and indirect N2O emissions. The main sources of uncertainty were those derived from the activity data.
