Abstract

Agricultural holdings that are currently functional in Romania are contrasting in terms of economic performance and ability to secure a harmonious rural livelihood. Moreover, agriculture is unable to value the tremendous economic potential of land leaving most of the rural population in the shaded corner of poverty. A closer look to facts and figures regarding cropping, agricultural holdings, and rural population reveals that the current status and trends are not acceptable. Building on this we outline a number of proposals grouped in several categories, which are relevant for the main economic and social relations and processes, toward a future strategy for the development of agriculture and rural area. These proposals highlight strategic interventions that will improve the functionality of the whole system. A special focus is granted for cooperation, since this creates a favourable ground for the harmonious merger of commercial and civil interests toward an increased resilience of agriculture and rural areas against the volatility of economic system and the interference of disturbing short term political interest that are favoured by this.
