      abstract = {Specialization of production and intensive use of  mechanization, energy, pesticides, mineral fertilizers,  concentrated animal feed and newly established varieties  and races imply serious consequences for the environment  and agro-biodiversity. In order to ensure sustainable  development, protection of agro-environment and  preservation of food quality and food safety, imposes the  need for renewal of the relations between agriculture and  nature. According to that, sustainable agriculture (also  known as bioeconomics) is established and developing, and  it includes: ensuring of food safeness (quantitatively,  qualitatively and structurally); preservation of natural  environment; valorisation and efficient use of agricultural  resources; improvement of agriculture competitiveness (on  domestic and foreign market) and realization of production  surpluses; gaining of balanced and stable farmers’ incomes  and growth of living standard of population that live in  rural areas.Depending on regional specificities of  production area, environmentally sustainable production  systems and techniques in agriculture differ among  themselves, but also they have a lot in common, which are  before all related to ensuring and improvement of soil  fertility and more rational application of pesticides and  mineral fertilizers. Faced with the essential requirements  of economic and ecological efficiency achievement, in other  words production profitability with minimal risk of  environment violation, Serbian agriculturalists strive to  adjust their production as much as possible to the  regulations of good agricultural practice.Using the methods  for evaluation of the ecological sustainability on the  agricultural husbandries, authors were directed their  research to the selected family husbandries within the  defined territorial units of the Danube region in Serbia,  as are: the area of the Upper Danube region, within the  Metropolitan area Belgrade – Novi Sad (also known as the  Central Danube region) and in the Carpathians (also known  as the Lower Danube region). The main goal of research is  to express and compare the willingness of family  husbandries in the Danube region within the Serbia toward  respect of the current requirements that are imposed by  environment-friendly production in agriculture.},
