Abstract
Abstract The article is devoted to the problem of changing of agricultural geoecological risks in the conditions of intensification of crop production in the largest old farming area of Kazakhstan - North Kazakhstan region. As a result of virgin frontal plowing of steppe spaces, such erosion processes as deflation and ravine erosion on prone lands have intensified. The plowing of new land and the exponential growth of land under soil-depleting technical crops in the last decade threaten the environmental sustainability of agriculture in the medium- and long-term period. Due to these problems, a drop in the yield of grain and oilseeds cultures was fixed and this fact indicates the exhaustion of natural agropotential resources. An eventual scenario for the ecologically acceptable development of crop production is the intensified transition to adaptive landscape and accurate (precision) agriculture in combination with the combined use of mineral and biological fertilizers based on local raw materials.
