Abstract

The question of the relationship between science and morality today is particular relevance. Modern science, as a result of the intensification of the globalization process and the rapid development of technologies affecting human existence, can no longer remain "value-neutral". Changes in science makes humanity increasingly think about its existence. And in this regard, it no longer only allows, but also requires the scientific community to rethink and include new, modern moral imperatives in the scientific work of scientists. The problem of not only morality, but also social responsibility of scientists for the results of their scientific discoveries is being actualized. Awareness of the real danger of an ecological catastrophe stimulates the search for new values and ethical regulators of their activities. The role and importance of respecting the ecological imperative is growing, since following the scientific community to this imperative will help not only to preserve the environment, but also to harmonize relations in the “human-nature” system. For the author, the disclosure of this issue is possible in the profession of agronomist. Compliance with ethical norms and principles, including the co-evolutionary imperative, set the conditions for the creation and development of a professional ethical code in the field of agronomy, the introduction of new standards and behavioral patterns of scientists’ agronomists in the modern world.
