Since the Convention on Biological Diversity a lot of papers have been published how to measure and value biodiversity. In the last decades publications on agro-ecosystems become more frequent and play a significant role in the provision of ecosystem services. There is a uniform definition for biodiversity in general, however, in terms of agro-ecosystems and their services (including biodiversity) many weaknesses can be identified. The objective of this paper is to explore some of these problems with special regard to different definitions and terms and to the farmland ecosystem services. One solution could be to adopt a more complex system which has some ecological and environmental components (air, water and soil pollution) and also takes in to consideration the efficiency of agricultural production.

Abstract The WB Green Agenda (WB GA) aims to implement the GD principles in this region and has defined five priority areas: climate, energy, mobility; circular economy, pollution reduction, sustainable agricultural and food production, and biodiversity. Some of the WB GA goals are strongly related to health: e.g. the continent's carbon neutrality by 2050, the ambitious climate policy, the reform of energy and transport sectors. The launch of the EU CP is an important opportunity for the WB to promote action in this area. For instance, promoting energy efficiency and supporting building renovation are directly related to the quality of life and hygiene of housing. Reduction or cancellation of coal subsidies as well as the region's withdrawal from the use of coal is of great importance for reducing externalities. In the WB, citizens are concerned about their health due to air, water and soil pollution and their reduction is in the common interest. To that end, it is necessary, inter alia, to: ratify the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution and its protocols in each of the WB economies; to implement air quality strategies; and to strengthen air quality monitoring systems (and network accreditation). Appropriate processes are needed to reduce water and soil pollution, as well as to ensure the transformation of the agricultural sector. It is also necessary to harmonize the agricultural and food sector with EU standards for food safety, plant and animal health and environmental protection. To achieve the WB GA goals it is important to develop policy strategies based on the most up-to-date scientific studies for this region (JRC, 2020). On the basis of the analysis presented in this study we conclude that the processes associated with the GD and the CP will be of benefit for both individual and public health in the EU and in the WB.

Water And Soil Pollution

The article analyzes the concept of “the limits to growth”, examines the main reasons for the slowdown in China's economic development in recent years. Special attention is paid to the problems of environmental pollution and lack of resources. Among the problems concerning environmental pollution there are both domestic problems such as air, water and soil pollution, and problems of an international scale. With regard to the problem of lack of resources, special attention is paid to China's dependence on imports of resources, which causes security problems due to the large number of exporting countries. Besides, the article describes the steps that China is taking to move to a new model of economic growth, in terms of institutional reforms, resource management and innovation in the field of green technologies, by taking the path of “green” sustainable development.

Water And Soil Pollution

Soil and water pollution are the most crucial issues in the world. Various reports have informed that pollution has had long-term adverse effects on environmental sustainability and human health. Several methods have been reported to be effective in reducing pollutant parameters in water and soil. The methods often used in water and soil remediation are bioremediation (land-vetting, bio-cell. Bio cell, Phytoremediation, Land venting, Composite, Bio venting, Bio slurry), Adsorption, Pretreatment (Ultrasonic), Microwave, Electrokinetic disintegration, High-Pressure Homogenization/HPH, Thermal Hydrolysis, Acid hydrolysis (HCl, H2SO4, H3PO4, and HNO3), Ozonation, Fenton Oxidation, Fe (II) -activated persulfate, Protease, amylase, lipase. This paper will explain water and soil pollution and the methods used to overcome them. Information collection is carried out using secondary data; internationally reputable journals and accredited national journals are used to obtain information about the effectiveness and costs incurred. This paper will provide a holistic comparison of prices, effectiveness, and information on various remediating water and soil pollution methods around the world. Based on the NPV and IRR analysis, the water treatment method using the adsorption method is an economically feasible method with an IRR value of 51%.
