OPTIMIZATION OF PERMACULTURE SYSTEMS THROUGH DIGITAL MODELING

In the modern world, the problem of environmental sustainability is becoming more and more acute, including agriculture. To improve the environmental situation, it was proposed to use permaculture. Permaculture is an agricultural system that assumes the most rational use of fertile areas, based on the principles of interconnectedness, functionality, duplication and multilevel use of the territory. This approach involves building an ecosystem model on a given area, but requires the selection of plants with different characteristics that will have a beneficial effect on each other, as well as the creation of infrastructure for the maintenance of plantings. The article explores the possibility of digitalization of the modeling process of permaculture complexes. To do this, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of plants, form models of specific plants and use these models to build a model permaculture system. The article also highlights the importance of soil characteristics, such as type, moisture, nutrient content and pollution levels, which influence the choice of crops and additional elements necessary for the functioning of the system. The conclusion of the article states that the permaculture system model consists of three elements, and the formation of these models is a difficult task that requires detailed study. However, this approach can simplify the process of creating plantings and improve their environmental sustainability.
