“…Today, agriculture uses 70% of all freshwater globally (on average) and much more than "consumptive water use" due to crop evaporation. Changes in the initial distribution of surface and groundwater resources, primarily from agricultural to urban, environmental, and industrial users, can lead to physical water movement (Totev, Mochurova, Kotseva-Tikova, 2021). In theory, water can also travel, as the production of food, goods and services that require a lot of water is concentrated in water-abundant regions and traded to water-scarce regions.…”

Bulgaria's good soil and weather conditions increase the potential of agriculture and provide good opportunities for quality and sustainable food production. These can be expanded and further improved through the use of innovation in all agricultural activities. Farm irrigation is essential for the food supply and economic development of many countries. Innovative solutions are needed to improve the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural practices. Innovations in agricultural irrigation are essential for sustainable farm development and reducing water stress in the world. They help farmers to improve their harvests and preserve water resources for future generations. Integrating different water sources such as groundwater, surface water, rainwater and wastewater can provide a more sustainable and reliable source of water for farms. Innovations in agricultural irrigation require training and education for farmers to understand how to use new technologies and methods. Governments and financial institutions can provide support and incentives to invest in innovative irrigation solutions. In recent years, aquaponics has become an innovative study of the aquaculture industry. Aquaponics is an innovation in modern farming, a sustainable micro ecosystem with a controlled environment, combining aquaculture with hydroponics. It is developing at a rapid pace as the need for sustainable food production grows and freshwater and phosphorus supplies decline. Another innovative method to tackle the problem of farm irrigation is aeroponics. It is defined as an aerial water culture system or the science of growing plants without soil or substrate culture. The plant grows in the air with the help of artificial support and no soil or substrate is required to sustain the plant. The roots of the plant are suspended in a closed container in the dark and exposed to the open air to receive nutrient-rich water dispersed through atomizers. The modernisation, rehabilitation and renewal of irrigation systems provides an opportunity to reduce the use of pesticides and fertilisers in line with the Green Deal. It also provides an opportunity for Bulgarian farmers to be competitive with their counterparts in other countries. The effect could be strongest for permanent crops, fruit and vegetable production and livestock farming. The goal of the report is to focus on solutions to the problem of farm irrigation in the country by implementing innovative solutions. Key words: technology, agriculture, environment, innovation, irrigating JEL: O3, Q1, Q5, Q16.

Modern agriculture uses many new practices, methods and technologies to improve the quality, increase the production volume, and generate higher incomes. The implementation of innovations by the agricultural producers can cover the different production stages of cultivating crops or farming livestock. The goal of this paper is to outline the innovations applied in tillage. They are classified by type like: mechanical innovations, innovative fertilizers and preparations, innovative ways of irrigation, and, last but not least, innovations to minimize the adverse effects of the farm activity. Based on statistical data and data from a survey on the subject, conclusions are drawn about the attitudes of the farmers regarding the innovations used in tillage. The paper analyzes the most frequently applied innovative solutions, it specifies their type they and makes recommendations for their more effective use.
