Abstract

The agri-environment economy provides a significant database for environmental policy decisions. The prioritization of an actionable behavior regarding the agri-environment vulnerabilities, favors the orientation of the agriculture through more environmentally responsible methods, represents a current trend, with a broad support within the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The promotion of an agricultural model capable of ensuring its own sustainability implies the existence of a set of common values and rules in which to buy as many producers as possible, with a common objective, respectively to reduce greenhouse emissions and to promote an ecological responsibility of the production model. Agriculture can significantly contribute to achieving the objectives of reducing the negative effects of climate change, not only from the perspective of ensuring the conservation of carbon reservoirs, which are still present in the soil, or by expanding their size and favoring the formation of humus, but in particular by reducing the consumption of energy needed in agricultural production and the supply of biomass needed for renewable energy production., much greener. The transition to a low carbon economy, more environmentally responsible, in the national agricultural sector can contribute, both to the significant increase of food security, but also to the optimization of the agricultural production structures, which will thus conform more easy to environmental requirements. It becomes primarily the role of implementation in agriculture of feasible standards more environmentally friendly, and environmentally friendly in this context, the research in the field and the continuous training acquiring new values. An important role is played by the implementation of best practice methods in the proper management of the land and the promotion of organic production models can significantly contribute to increasing the carbon absorption in the soil and, at the same time, to indicate possible improvments in their performance.
