Abstract

Permanent degradation of the environment and the growing number of natural disasters have caused environmental problems of greater importance. Integrating environmental issues in society requires entities to consider them at legal end economic accounting, as well as technical level. The aim of this paper is to present the legal situation of the agricultural producer conducting agricultural production based on the binding regulations relating to entity who uses of the environment. According with the accepted interpretation of the regulations on business activity agricultural producers are treated as entrepreneurs and subjected to liability for environmental damage although legal analysis shows the numerous exceptions. On the other hand the analysis shows the severe limitations imposed by the entity maintaining agricultural activity, established because of the risk behavior of individual elements of the environment, conservation of natural habitats and species. Many activities in the agricultural industry are classified as activity noxious or harmful to the environment. Hence the legal regulation governs specifically the use of fertilizers, conditioners and plant protection products.
