Currently, countries around the world are facing major economic problems due to currency devaluation, as well as technological and environmental transformations as a result of the evolution or development that characterizes today's society.
▶ In other words, world society is threatened by environmental deterioration caused by the lack of adequate attitudes and the scarce sense of co-responsibility of man towards the management and care of natural resources.
According to environmentalist reports, in recent decades the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals has led man to a culture based on the application of fertilizers to crops, with short-cycle crops being the most prone to this action.
Because producers seek to accelerate plant growth and increase yields, without considering the damage they cause to consumers and the environment.
Based on the above, it is important to highlight that chemical fertilizers contain components that cause deterioration of human health, resulting in long-term malformations, bronchial, respiratory and reproductive diseases, skin cancer, among others.
This, in many cases, can also lead to death, since the growing social sensitivity towards human and environmental health issues has generated the need to direct agriculture towards sustainable development, using agricultural and vegetable waste as organic fertilizers or components of substrates in crop production to improve soils and thus ensure better health of biotic beings.
