It is also clear that the expansion of agriculture, both in the past and today, is one of the most important factors for the development of a country, as well as improving the welfare and health of its people, so that now the world’s largest economic powers provide a significant part of their income they do.
In general, we face two very important issues in the agricultural sector: food security and ecological or environmental security. The most important goal in agriculture is to produce sufficient, appropriate and quality food; Of course, environmental safety must also be considered, so in the production of food for the growing population, instead of the indiscriminate use of pesticides and fertilizers, etc., which endanger environmental safety by using modern knowledge and new methods. Use methods that do not endanger environmental security, because environmental security itself creates a platform for food security, and thus we will achieve sustainability in agriculture.
In recent decades, we have witnessed the dramatic expansion and growth of nuclear technologies and their application in various aspects of human life, from electricity generation to drug production and space exploration; Agriculture, like other aspects of human life, has not been deprived of this valuable technology. Today, nuclear technology is used to improve various aspects of agriculture, from genetic improvement of plant seeds to pest control and accelerate plant growth, and in fact, the application of this technology has led to a revolution in agriculture.
