AGROTEXTILES - SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF THE CONVERGING ECONOMIC SECTORS
Journal Title: ISB-INMA TEH AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 8
Abstract
The overall objective of sustainable development is to find a balance of interaction between the four systems: economic, human, environmental and technological, in a dynamic and flexible process. It is an answer to the current global challenges of climate change, atmospheric pollution, the danger of resource depletion and the threat to biodiversity, but also to the problem of economic growth, which is in contrast to the idea of protecting the environment and resources. In this context, the textile sector is an example of a "traditional sector", able to "redefine its identity" according to a new, fully adapted business model - the needs of the new industrial revolution (smarter, more inclusive and more sustainable). Agrotextile sector includes the application of textile products in agriculture, forestry, horticulture, floriculture, segments of fishing, landscape, gardening, animal husbandry, aquaculture, agro-engineering. Agrotextile products could be of any structural type, and offer multidimensional solutions, due to the advantages of textile structures (flexibility, strength, low weight, etc.). In the agricultural sector, textile materials have always been used for the purpose of protecting, harvesting and storing agricultural products. The diversification of the range of raw materials and modern techniques has allowed the relaunching or maintaining of classical uses and especially the opening to new applications that correspond to the concerns and desires of the farmers. Technical textiles, "agrotextile", through the potential of functionalities, can make a special contribution to achieving a level of coherence between agriculture, the environment and rural development through the intelligent capitalization of knowledge and innovation.
