Abstract

Agriculture has always undergone various changes in the context of time, and humans have been the most important factor in changing it. Organic production is in line with sustainable agricultural development and aims to reduce the consumption of abnormal inputs. This system of production while preserving the environment and ecological communication is a good way to reach healthy food and provide consumer health. The development of the use of biotechnology in agriculture is one of the best ways to increase the food security coefficient and eliminate the existing difficulties. The familiarity of farmers and agricultural directors with the trend of changing food security indices such as: population increase, production fluctuations, consequences of climate change in product supply, distribution and unbalanced prices of food; deep societal development process; in the socioeconomic development process of the community has a profound and comprehensive impact. Therefore, sustainable food security requires different types of organic farming techniques, modern agricultural methods (genetic engineering) and conventional agriculture (using fertilizer, poison and pesticide) that awareness of the status of food security indicators can provide preventive measures and measures to achieve the health of the production and supply of healthy food.
