The paper presents the way in which a tourist reception structure can practice sustainable tourism based on the conservation and protection of all natural and anthropic resources. The case study was carried out at a Boarding house in the commune of Crasna-Gorj, where authentic agrotourism is practiced, because a series of specialties served at the table to tourists are prepared with products obtained from their own household, in which traditional agriculture is practiced, based on obtaining high quality products, with as few chemical substances as possible. At the same time, the main natural and anthropogenic factors favorable to the practice of tourism were presented, and an analysis of tourist traffic and the quality of management at the boarding house under study was carried out. In the analysis of the tourist potential and activity, more emphasis was placed on the objectives and leisure and gastronomy activities specific to the place, through which the Boarding house can create an offer of great originality and attractiveness for tourists.

In this article the authors present the tourist activity in the Western Development Region, analyzing the evolution of the following indicators: tourist accommodation facilities, accommodation capacity in operation, the number of incoming tourists and the total number of overnight stays in tourist accommodation facilities. The information needed for this study were provided by the local authorities, the National Institute of Statistics and other bibliographic sources. The analysis, centralization and processing of the obtained data allowed the elaboration of the most important conclusions regarding the evolution of the main tourist indicators found in the studied area. Tourists arriving in the Western Development Region are attracted by the natural tourist potential, which is represented by rich natural resources and the existence of unique natural elements, recognised and protected through the numerous protected natural areas, including the Retezat National Park, the most important in Europe, but also by the existing anthropic potential. On the territory of the region, there are 4 tourist resorts, 6 of which are of national interest and 8 of which are of local interest. The authors of the work made a diagnosis regarding the evolution of the tourist accommodation structures, the capacity of the tourist accommodation structures, existing and in operation, but also other very important aspects for the tourist activity in the analyzed area. The tourist accommodation structures in the Western Region had an upward trend in the analyzed period, the same evolution can be observed in terms of the existing accommodation capacity. Instead, the accommodation capacity in operation had an oscillating evolution from one year to the next, with the most accommodation places being found in 20 5, and the fewest in 2020. The total number of tourists arriving in the region recorded an upward trend until 20 9, and in the pandemic, arrivals drastically decreased, but then, from 202 they began to register slight increases. Tthe number of overnight stays followed a similar tendency, the lowest number being recorded in 2020, both for Romanian and foreign tourists. Therefore, the development of tourism in the Western Development Region is accessible also thanks to the accommodation possibilities for tourists who want to spend their leisure time in this region.

In the study carried out in the researched area, an inventory of the main natural tourist resources was followed in the first phase, as they are also an important factor in attracting tourists to the boarding house. Following the study, it was demonstrated that the area and implicitly the boarding house has a rich and valuable natural tourist potential, but which has not yet been capitalized at the highest level. After this, a study was carried out aimed at the inventory and analysis of human tourism resources, noting that the studied area represents the land of the inherited monasteries, Poienari and Negru Voda fortresses, as well as numerous churches, monuments, memorial houses and architectural sites and monuments traditional. Also, in order to be able to create a unique and personalized offer within the boarding house, we insisted more on anthropic tourist resources specific to the commune of Cicănești, through which it can be clearly differentiated from other tourist offers at the national level. In the last part, a complex and well-documented study was carried out in terms of the calculation and analysis of the main indicators with the help of which the tourist activity in the area and from the boarding house is characterized, based on which the conclusion was reached that in the analyzed boarding house a management of quality and very flexible, which easily adapted to the new conditions imposed by the pandemic, in the period 20 8-2022.

Organic farming is developing as a sustainable alternative to intensive, conventional farming practice based on increasing yields, by maximizing the use of production factors to continuously increase agricultural production. Organic farming is, now, appreciated because it eliminates chemicals and produces health food with a positive impact on the environment. Sustainable development requires a healthy life due to responsible food production and consumption. These goals can be achieved in a food system where producers contribute through moral behaviours and where consumers are informed. All these aspects are gaining increasing importance at European and global level in the context of sustainable development. Considering these aspects, we carried out this research with reference to the interest of the inhabitants of the Western Romania for ecological products. The analysis of the data, obtained from the field application of a questionnaire and their interpretation, shows that, in Romania, although the area cultivated in the organic system is still small, there is an increased interest in the organic farming system both on the part of farmers and on the part of consumers.

In white wine production, for some grape varieties, it is beneficial to technologically reduce the concentration of the polyphenols to make the final wine less bitter and astringent. Normally, the removal of excessive polyphenols is addressed by fining the wine with polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP), a synthetic polymer, or animal proteins, which bind the tannins. However, the nowadays trend is to replace the products of animal or synthetic origin with vegetal or inorganic ones. In this paper innovative technologies based on treatments with pea protein, alone and in combinations with other vegetal or inorganic products, were tested. Also, as another innovation, the treatments were performed directly on the must, to remove some of the polyphenols before they can be oxidized. Six variants of Tamâioasa romaneasca, treated with pea proteins and combinations of agents, were compared with a non-treated variant and with the classical treatment with PVPP. The resulting wines were evaluated by professional tasters based on a complex sensory evaluation sheet and sensory profiles were determined for all variants. Multivariate statistics analysis was also applied to determine the most promising alternative treatments acceptable for the wine consumers.

In Romania, the numerous, dispersed family farms with small areas continued their activity in many cases considering a certain tradition as closed or partially open systems. After the accession of our country to the European Union in 2007, there has been a tendency to reduce small holdings through mergers, a phenomenon which is otherwise naturally manifested in all the states of the EU, but not to the extent that would be necessary for Romania. Following the analysis of agricultural holdings in Romania by size class in 2020, it was found that out of the 2,887.00 thousand of agricultural holdings, 2,606.98 are under 5 ha in size (54% are under ha, and 36.30% are between and 5 ha). The average size of farms increased in the period 20 0-2020 from 3.45 ha to 4.42 ha. The chronic under capitalization of subsistence and semi-subsistence agricultural holdings also contributes to the modest performance of the Romanian agricultural and agri-food sector, compared to its natural potential and the population’s expectations that agriculture and the food industry quickly adapt to the EU’s common agricultural policy. Since these categories of farms mostly ensure self-consumption for the rural population in most Romanian villages, their association is required to achieve a level of economic development and efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to present a functional and performing agricultural cooperative from Nădlac, Arad County, Romania, that can be a model of good practices for the association of small farmers and Romanian agriculture.

"European Green Architecture" refers to the implementation of sustainable agriculture that provides sufficient food and ecosystem services for both present and future generations. The conditions contained in eco-scheme PD-04 "Environmentally friendly practices for arable land" refer to the introduction of agricultural practices that have a positive impact on the environment and are aimed at farms with an area of more than 0.0 ha. The data was provided by the Agency for Payments and Interventions in Agriculture in Romania. The method of analysis was the comparative method, as well as the analysis of the structure of the cultivated and non-cultivated areas, the average for each county of Romania, the situation of the structure of the crops and the presence of nitrogen-fixing crops and protein crops, relevant indicators for the farms that applied for the PD-0 eco-scheme. The results of the analysis show that in 2023, the number of farms in Romania that have applied for the PD-04 eco-scheme is 46,608, with a total area of 5,789,746.35 ha, of which 2,934 were declared as uncultivated land, corresponding to 26,829.82 ha. According to the general agronomic rules, the crop rotation for field crops aims at an optimal crop structure as follows: 25% cereal straw, 25% maize, 25% legumes (soybeans, peas, beans, etc.) and sunflowers, 25% forage crops (alfalfa, clover, peas, etc.) necessary to increase soil fertilization. The paper presents the culture preferences of Romanian farmers in the year 2023, regarding the implementation of the eco-scheme PD-04 "Environmentally beneficial practices applicable to arable land".

Agriculture was and remains the support of human existence, representing the backbone of the Romanian rural economy. The gross domestic product represents a macroeconomic indicator of results, being the consequence of the efficient use of resources. In this context, the authors analyze the place that agriculture holds in achieving the gross domestic product in Romania compared to the European Union, as well as its dynamics. In this sense, the share of resources in the formation of the gross domestic product in the period 2000-2022 is presented. The main research methods used for this work are: analysis, synthesis, comparison and mathematical analysis. From the analysis carried out, conclusive ideas emerge, and the article becomes even more suggestive, in that it is accompanied by tables synthesized by the authors and relevant graphics that highlight and support the assessments that the authors make in the content of this article. At the end of the paper, the authors emphasize the fact that the GDP is the most complex indicator that reflects the transformations that the Romanian economy has gone through in recent years. From the point of view of the use of resources, it can be seen that the share of the agricultural sector has registered a downward evolution, which can be largely explained by the increase in the importance of industry and the service sector in the overall national economy.

The contemporary Bulgarian cooperative business model emerged at the end of the 9th century in response to specific socio-economic conditions. It developed progressively with the realization of various businesses – agricultural, credit, or as provision of services to member-cooperators, etc. Throughout the years, the cooperative model underwent periods of significant growth, yet also of stagnation, which has justified the interest that both theory, and business practice have shown in it. Generally recognized is the contribution of a number of national and international researchers who in the past have analyzed the features of the cooperative model and defined it accordingly. From the analyzed literary and normative sources, we can deduce that the definitions and opinions on the cooperative nearly overlap. It is defined as a voluntary union of persons who mutually assist and cooperate with each other with equal responsibilities and rights. The member-cooperators delegate part of their functions to democratically elected leading representatives when they establish a cooperative enterprise. The main goal of the cooperative is to meet the needs of its members in its non-profit oriented activity. Considering the multi-aspect character of the studied topic, we outline the aim of this paper as making an analysis of the origin and development of the cooperative model and its applicability to the agricultural sector in Bulgaria. The chosen methodological approach is based on the statistical groupings of a big corpus of official data on cooperatives entered in the Bulgarian Commercial Register since 2005 to date. We have established certain indicators, reflecting the tendencies in the development of cooperatives by region of planning, economic sectors, annual revenue, etc. We used Microsoft Office and the licensed version of Statistics Grad Pack for Windows for data processing. Main inferences: In Bulgaria, the cooperative business model emerged first in villages to satisfy the needs of the local population. Later, these cooperatives appeared in larger towns. This process in Bulgaria is reverse to other European countries with more developed market economy. The agricultural orientation of the developing Bulgarian economy at the end of the 9th century explains the establishment of the first national cooperatives of the agricultural credit type in villages. In Bulgaria, the cooperative business model as a legal organizational form penetrated almost all branches of the national economy. The role of Sector A “Agriculture, forestry and fish farming” was dominant. To a great extent, this resulted both from the specifics of the Bulgarian economy, and the existing cooperative traditions.

In Bulgaria, according to the Institute for Market Economics, 6 economic centers have been defined, which form a large part of the national economy. The paper focuses on the economic centers located in the territory of the North Central Planning Region and the North Western Planning Region, emphasizing their role in revealing the potential for development of the rural areas within their scope.In this context, the specific features of their development have been analyzed and the possibilities for future development have been assessed in order to achieve the goals of sustainable development of the territory, to increase the living standards of the population, and to reduce the risk of poverty in rural areas. The study utilized statistical methods for analyzing dynamic trends, hypothesis testing, regression, and correlation analysis. It was found that the indicators for the municipalities within the economic centers are more favorable compared to those outside of them.The results of the analysis demonstrate that the presence of economic centers in the region has a statistically significant impact on indicators such as population, age dependency ratio, population density, average annual salary of employees under labor and service contracts, and unemployment rate.
