The purpose of this study is to analyze and assess the viability in rural areas in Bulgaria. The focus is on demographic and social indicators. On this basis, three scenarios for the development of rural areas by 2030 are proposed, with reference to the main priorities of the Green Deal. The working-age population was chosen as an indicator for evaluation. In a methodological aspect, an extrapolation method of proportions based on the Territorial Share Shift Analysis (TSSA) proposed by Ivanov (2024) is approved. The model is proportional and extrapolated, which means that trends are more reliable than exact figures. The results present a positive trend in rural areas by 2030, expressed in an increase in the number of working-age population based on statistical data for the period 2010 - 2020. Naturally, under the hypothesis of preserving the socio-economic characteristics of these regions. The most likely scenario to happen is the realistic one. According to the results, favorable changes in demographic aspect are expected, which will affect the economically active population in rural areas of Bulgaria. At the local level, cross-border cooperation and investment in infrastructure projects should be strengthened.

The main goal of the performed research is scientific-based selection of supplier of "green" packaging (environmentally friendly) that is adequate for the long-term partnership with the observed enterprise ("Farm Land") active within the agro-food sector. Accomplishment of defined research objective required establishment of research model that involves ten criteria, based on which was analyzed the properness of each of ten potential packaging suppliers. According to existing model, there was developed the research methodology based on the Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set (IFS), due to inclusion of the uncertainty in decision-making process while considering the best possible option for the enterprise. To determine the importance of used criteria, the DiWeC (Direct Weight Calculation) method was used, while the derived results show that the focus during the selection of "green" packaging suppliers has been turned on their products, i.e. mentioned products must be biodegradable, produced from ecological materials, certified and of high quality. Meanwhile, towards the selection of optimal supplier, the CORASO (COMpromise Ranking from Alternative SOlutions) method was used. Performed research shown that in line to analyzed values of preselected criteria, the supplier S3 could serve as the best possible solution for long-term business cooperation. Validity of gained research results was also confirmed by the application of sensitivity analysis. The contribution of performed research is multiple. It primarily supports development of existing MCDM methodology, through testing and designing the new approaches. Then it offers ecological aspect, corresponding to reduction of overall environmental pollution, while it also affects advancement of business activity of observed enterprise.

The article explores the concept of intelligent villages as a model of sustainable rural development, with a special emphasis on the role of Smart educational centers in reducing educational inequalities, poverty, limited access to technology, as well as in ensuring food security and reducing rural-urban migration. Smart educational centers combine modern infrastructure, digital tools, and sustainability principles to increase the quality of education, improve agricultural productivity, and strengthen local economic opportunities, thus supporting young people in their communities.The research is based on an analysis of the specialized literature, a contextual evaluation of the rural-urban discrepancies in Romania, and the elaboration of a conceptual framework for the implementation of Smart educational centers. There is a methodological note regarding the comparative selection of three relevant international models (Estonia, Finland, India), as well as a case study applied from Ciugud commune, which illustrates the practical feasibility and the potential for replicating the proposed model. The results highlight the transforming potential of education in rural areas by reducing economic inequalities, increasing food security, and strengthening socio-economic resilience. Although there are challenges related to financing and infrastructure, the article identifies public-private partnerships, continuous training of teachers, and digital inclusion strategies as essential for the success of these initiatives. The implementation of SMART educational centers can contribute significantly to achieving sustainable development objectives, especially in the fields of quality education, poverty eradication, food, decent work, the action for climate, and the development of sustainable communities. These centers can become strategic pillars in the process of sustainable transformation of villages in Romania and can offer valuable models for other countries in similar situations.

Ensuring food security and addressing poverty and hunger constitute critical challenges for humanity. The security and sustainability of our food can be achieved by eliminating the causes that lead to food loss and through measures that can be taken by all stakeholders in this phenomenon. The aim of the paper is to identify concrete measures to mitigate food loss in the agri-food chain. The study forms part of a multi-annual research initiative and employs both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to address the three objectives established. In addition to a comprehensive review of the relevant literature and the analysis of data from official sources, empirical evidence was gathered during a workshop conducted in person in June 2025. The resulting data were systematically synthesized, processed, and interpreted, and presented in tabular and graphical form. The findings highlight practical solutions for reducing food loss (FL) and food waste (FW) at the farm level, within processing and distribution, in the food service sector, and among households. Emphasis is placed on the role of public policies and social responsibility programs in supporting these efforts.

The purpose of the article is to develop effective measures for setting up a strategy for sustainable development and mutually beneficial cooperation, as well as increasing the level of capacity of rural, settlement and urban territorial communities in the Ivano-Frankivsk region in the process of decentralization in Ukraine. The data on the dynamics of the formation of 62 territorial communities in the region during 2015–2020 is graphically illustrated: of which 24 or 39% belong to the rural type, 23 or 37% to the settlement type and 15 or 24% to the urban type. It was found that the majority of territorial communities of Ivano-Frankivsk region are harmoniously formed in cities of regional and district significance and have a capable potential, which was assessed according to the criteria of the level of capability – population, area of the territory, and number of populated areas. It was determined that the large Ivano- Frankivsk, Kalush and Kolomyia districts, where 84% of populated areas, 72% areas of the territory and 82% of the population are concentrated, can significantly influence the development of small Verkhovyna, Kosiv, Nadvirna districts and balance the development of Ivano-Frankivsk region as a whole. A number of initiatives for the sustainable development of rural, settlement and urban territorial communities of Ivano-Frankivsk region are proposed, which consist in expanding their mutually beneficial cooperation in the direction of exchanging experience and creating joint projects: socio-economic, administrative-legal, educational and cultural, environmental and tourist, transport and infrastructure. The conclusions of the study confirm the importance of joint implementing international projects under the “U-LEAD with Europe” and “USAID DOBRE” programs, which will ensure an improvement in the quality of life of the rural and urban population of the region.

Sweet potato consumption worldwide, but particularly in some African and South-East Asian countries, is second only to the potato as an important source of food for the population. Additionally, given the soil and climate requirements and the ongoing impacts of climate change, including global warming, sweet potato is a crop expected to increase in cultivation. This paper discusses the findings from studies on post-harvest management and the economic assessment of sweet potato cultivars in the marketing process. The duration of the quality keeping depends of the environmental conditions during storage, mainly temperature and relative humidity levels. The shelf-life was extended when stored at 13°C and 90% relative humidity (climatic room), lasting between 180 and 192 days, depending on the variety. In contrast, under ambient conditions of 18°C and 60% relative humidity, the shelf-life was shorter, ranging from 115 to 130 days, also depending on the variety. Overall losses at the end of storage were lower in the climatic chamber, ranging from 16% for Koretta to 23% for RO-CH-M. It was also ascertained that over 98% of the output of the sweet potato cultivars correspond to the specific quality standard and the tubers production have a homogenous structure by quality categories, the value of quality category coefficient (Q) having values between 2.56 and 2.65.

The study aims to analyze the total tourism potential of Mehedinți County and the way the rural tourism market reacted and adapted to the effects and impact of the pandemic on it, during the period 2019-2023. It was mainly focused on the analysis and characterization of the adaptation of the specific structures of rural tourism and agrotourism. In the first part, the value of the tourism potential as a whole in this county was inventoried and analyzed, which contributed decisively to the return and readaptation of the tourism market to the new conditions imposed by the impact of the pandemic on the entire economic activity in the county, but especially on tourism activity. In the second part, a series of indicators were analyzed based on which the effects of the pandemic on the rural tourism market in the studied county were first established in 2019 and 2020, after which in 2021-2023, its reaction and adaptation to the new conditions and realities that emerged after the pandemic were observed. Based on the data analyzed in the tables included in the paper, a series of conclusions and recommendations were formulated that aimed at the possibility of rapid adaptation, so that the negative impact of the pandemic would be as low as possible and its effects on the circulation and tourism activity in the county would be as short-lived as possible.

This research aims to analyze the trade performance of the European Union in fresh plum trade, through an integrated approach that combines evolutionary, structural and quantitative analysis of official statistical data. The main objective is to assess the trade position of EU Member States on the international plum market, in terms of trade volume, dependence on trading partners, sensitivity to price variations and strategic export orientation. The methodology applied involved the analysis of the dynamics of plum trade in the period 2014–2024, differentiated by intra- and extra-community flows, both for imports and exports, using quantitative and value indicators, as well as synthetic variation indices, such as the Herfindahl–Hirschman index for trade concentration or the coefficient of variation for price volatility. The analysis started from the premise that plums represent an important category of fruit in the agricultural economy of several European countries, and the trade behavior of the European Union reflects not only its positioning in relation to other global actors, but also its vulnerabilities or competitive advantages within the international flows of fresh fruit. The results obtained highlight that exports of fresh plums from the EU have registered significant increases in some Member States such as Spain, Italy and Romania, while others have shown high volatility and lower contributions to the Union's trade performance. The evolution of selling prices has been marked by significant fluctuations, and the application of the Herfindahl–Hirschman index has confirmed a trend of increasing import concentration, indicating dependence on a small number of trading partners. The conclusions drawn indicate that, despite the progress made, the EU plum market remains exposed to trade imbalances and requires sustained policies to stabilise and consolidate competitive advantages.
