In view of the chaos in the world's agricultural fields and the strong environmental contamination, government intervention is necessary to give priority to the creation of national and international laws and regulations that promote sustainable agriculture.
▶ In addition to the creation of institutions that provide technical advice and quantify the serious problems of environmental deterioration and biological deactivation resulting from the excessive use and inadequate management of soils, considering that the intensive application of agrochemicals reflects a serious risk to the agrifood security of society.

The production of agricultural crops in the world has been presenting transcendental changes, determining the resurgence of new plantations and the decline of others, aiming to improve them in order to be more productive every day.
Crops of food interest have intensified in the amount of land planted for several reasons, one of them being the nutritional properties of crops for human consumption, and another being their production cycle adaptable to the soil and climatic conditions of some specific regions.
Basically, the production of agricultural species has intensified, although its development is slowed down in some areas by severe environmental deterioration processes caused by the bad use of synthetic fertilizers applied to previous crops, reflected by the biological deactivation of the soil, thus losing productivity conditions.
Such is the case of cultivated lands in tropical areas, where there are reports that show that in most African, South American and Asian countries the apparent consumption of synthetic fertilizers in the last decade has maintained a growing trend above 40%, with devastating effects for most of the ecosystems destined to the production of food crops.
