Philosophy of agriculture as a way of understanding agrarian practice

Abstract

In recent years, in scientific publications on the philosophy of economy, economic and agrarian sciences, attention to the philosophical aspects of the study of rural life and agricultural production has increased. This indicates that the philosophy of agrarian activity is formed as an integral part of the philosophy of economics and agrarian economy. The purpose of the article is to determine the scientific status of the philosophy of agriculture as a worldview basis for managing agrarian practice. The authors chose structural and systemic analysis and synthesis as the main methods of research, which allowed to isolate the concept of the philosophy of agriculture and to learn its essence. The article defines the philosophical aspect of the study of agricultural practice, which is an object of management in the context of social, cultural and economic life of people. Within the framework of philosophy, agriculture is considered not only as the basis of human livelihood, but also as a factor in the creation of civilization and culture. The study determined that the subject of the philosophy of agriculture is the relationship in the "man-nature-economy" system in the context of agrarian life. The theoretical value is that the philosophical problems of agriculture are systematized within the classical approach to the structure of philosophical knowledge (that is, ontology, epistemology, anthropology, praxeology of agriculture and socio-philosophical problems of agriculture are highlighted). General philosophical methodological approaches are formulated and defined, on the basis of which the philosophy of agriculture can develop as a meta-knowledge in relation to agrarian sciences and the practice of managing the agrarian sphere. The subject of the philosophy of agriculture is defined. The practical value lies in the fact that the research result can be included as a topic in educational courses in philosophical disciplines for students of higher education in the economic and agrarian profile of training. The results of the study enrich the information and analytical knowledge necessary for the comprehensive education of ecological culture, nature-centric economic behaviour of specialists in the agrarian sphere of production

Enhancing Efficiency and Safety in Grain Silo Unloading: Analysis and Optimization of Mechanisms

“…According to the assertions of Islam [36] that the application of modern technology and innovation can improve the discharge mechanism to increase its performance and reliability. Technological innovations can include various automated control systems, sensors to control the discharge processes, and monitoring and data analysis systems to optimise the performance of the machine [37,38]. It should be considered that the introduction of modern technologies and innovative developments is usually associated with additional costs for the purchase of special equipment, software and staff training [39].…”

Effects of Nitrogen Fertilizer Doses and Application Methods on the Yield of Syr Suluy Rice in the Kyzylorda Region

“…Rice production in the Kyzylorda region of Kazakhstan is a significant agricultural activity that faces challenges and undergoes changes. The region, known for its sharply continental climate with hot dry summers and cold winters, has historically been a major hub for rice cultivation [15,16]. Existing systems for fertilizing agricultural crops, as a rule, do not take into account environmental safety, since the required norms of mineral fertilizers are calculated according to the indicators of the removal of nutrients with the planned harvest, and the degree of use of active substances from fertilizers is quite low [17][18][19].…”
