Abstract:
Reliability theory, probabilistic modeling, and risk management are tools that allow for
deter- mining the probability of correct operation under specific times and conditions, better
under- standing complex real-world systems by accounting for their variability, and reducing
project risk to optimal levels. This study examines the application of reliability theory
to create a robust methodological framework for assessing the reliability of agroecosystems and
their supporting construction and environmental infrastructure. This approach enables a
deeper understanding of the inherent potential of current agricultural production systems,
including storage, technical and water-management infrastructure. Furthermore, it considers
maintain- ing ecological balance within reasonable limits, providing a solid foundation for
defining tactical actions in this regard and aligning with the concept of sustainable development
in civil and environmental engineering.
