Abstract

This article presents the most relevant elements to be taken into account, if the dimensions of the present and future food security in Romania are to be analyzed, from comparative perspective with European level. Romania`s economy has a real advantage, in relation with other European countries, in terms of natural conditions for practicing sustainable agriculture. All changes that have occurred in the field of agricultural property from Romania, in the last 25 years, reveal still poor recovery benefits from the agriculture development and strengthening food security. The dynamics of the key factors of food security - agricultural farms - hold a central place within the analysis of the current situation in agriculture. The article presents also some ideas regarding financing prospects and increasing capacity of the national system of agricultural production in the next decade. Now, Romania looks like being not yet a reliable source of food security in Europe, but this sounds like good news for investors and farmers too. Why and in what manner this situation could be changed soon, it is shown in the following text. The article uses various sources of documentation and publications of the United Nations Organizations, European Council, Eurostat, INS Romania, The Institute for Researching Quality of Life from Bucharest, some other Romanian Academy researching institutes and others.
