Land consolidation is the rearrangement of small, fragmented, and scattered land owned by agricultural enterprises. The data of the research was collected from the lawsuit files related to the land consolidation works carried out in Yüreğir district of Adana province on 23/11/2012, records of the 6th Regional Directorate of State Hydraulic Works (DSI) which carried out the consolidation and academic studies related to the subject. It is aimed to use less time, labour, and capital, increase agricultural production and productivity, and raise living standards. However, it is important to ensure satisfaction of farmers to provide these benefits. This study evaluated the problems caused by land consolidation from a legal point of view. This research found that the number of parcels of enterprises decreased, the size of the parcels increased, and the parcels received road, water, and drainage services. However, a significant number of producers were not satisfied with the land consolidation and filed lawsuits in the administrative courts. This study revealed that attentive consolidation and careful use of authority can increase satisfaction and prevent unnecessary busying of the courts, saving time and expense.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the evolution of the areas cultivated in the conventional system, comparing the data at European and at the national level. With a solid foundation in analyzing data obtained from various agricultural organizations, this study aims to elucidate current trends and provide an in-depth understanding of how conventional agriculture is changing. The analysis regards the year 2020 for which Eurostat provided data which were used for identifying similarities and differences between different EU member states exploring the potential reasons for these variations. By analyzing these trends, the article seeks to identify the impact of conventional agriculture on the environment and human health, as well as how agricultural practices are changing to become more sustainable and less harmful. The conclusion is that agricultural structure of the countries of the European Union is extremely diverse, reflecting the traditions, economy, geographical conditions, agricultural policy and many other aspects specific to each member state. It is obviously needed to continue and intensify efforts for increasing farm size, modernizing technical endowment and improving efficiency in the agricultural sector in the EU, especially in countries with a high share of small farms.

The paper proposes an analysis of the fishing sector in Romania, from the perspective of the exploitation of natural resources. Romania's hydrographic network represents over 3.5% of the country's total area. Fishing and aquaculture are activities carried out in all regions of the country. In the areas along the rivers and the Black Sea, fishing is the primary source of income for the population of the region. In the last decades, fish production from aquaculture has regularly exceeded the catch. Romania's foreign trade with fish and aquatic products has an unbalanced balance, with a significant dependence of the domestic market on imports. The average annual fish consumption per capita in Romania is below the European average, although a positive evolution has been recorded in the recent period. The implementation of European projects by the companies operating in the Romanian fishing sector is difficult, the degree of access to the funds available to the domestic sector being characterized by a relatively low level of absorption. The lack of effective measures from the public authorities to support the national fishing sector will accentuate its decline, and the domestic market's dependence on imports from abroad will continue to grow. The research results can be useful to companies in the fishing sector, for accessing European funds, and to public authorities, in developing appropriate public policies and strategies.

In recent years, gastronomic tourism in the Republic of Moldova has gained momentum due to the country's rich culinary heritage and traditional dishes. The culinary culture of the Republic of Moldova is shaped by its history and geography, with influences from neighbouring countries Romania and Ukraine, as well as its history of being a part of the USSR. The Moldovan wine industry has also played a significant role in driving food tourism, with a long history of winemaking and numerous vineyards and wineries. Moreover, there is growing interest in agri-tourism, which offers visitors the chance to experience rural life and learn about traditional farming practices. Many small family farms in Moldova provide accommodations and activities such as cooking classes, farming activities, and vineyard visits. Despite the potential for food tourism, Moldova's food tourism industry has yet to reach its full potential. To attract more food tourists, promoting and marketing the country's culinary heritage and traditional dishes, as well as increasing the number of food-related events and activities, could prove beneficial. Gastronomy is an integral part of every community, representing a valuable tourism resource and an essential tool for destination image and branding. This paper aims to analyze the potential of Moldova's food tourism industry and provide recommendations for establishing and developing it further as an important pillar of the country's tourism industry. Moldova's ethnic and social diversity and indigenous communities influence its gastronomy, providing insights into ancient gastronomic traditions, customs, manners, and farming practices, making Moldova a unique and underdeveloped gastronomic tourism destination. Materials and methods: The authors apply a quantitative research approach, analyzing data from the National Bureau of Statistics of the Republic of Moldova to examine trends and opportunities in the country's gastronomic tourism. Various research methods, including analysis, comparison, grouping, and SWOT analysis, were employed. Main results: The findings reveal that Moldova's tourism industry was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 but showed signs of recovery in 2021. The country's rural areas, wine industry, and culinary traditions offer unique opportunities for gastronomic tourism development. However, challenges such as lack of awareness, promotion, limited infrastructure, and low stakeholder collaboration need to be addressed. Conclusions: This study highlights Moldova's potential for gastronomic tourism development. To fully develop this industry, efforts should focus on promoting the country's culinary heritage, increasing food-related events and activities, improving infrastructure and services, fostering collaborations, and leveraging digital platforms. By addressing challenges and capitalizing on opportunities, Moldova can establish and further develop its food tourism industry, contributing to economic growth, job creation, and the promotion of its unique culinary heritage.

The knowledge, research and continuous development of the rural space is of increased interest for the academic environment in a country with imposing dimensions of the countryside such as the Republic of Moldova, dimensions marked both by the areas belonging to the rural environment and by the share of the population from villages. Despite a rapid urbanization, caused by the unprecedented industrialization of the second half of the 20th century, which generated not only a reduction in the share of the population employed in agriculture, forestry, fish farming, but also significantly decreased the share of income collected from agricultural activities in GDP , the importance of the rural space does not decrease, it is imposing itself more and more, including through the global trend of protecting the environment and capitalizing on the picturesque places available to the countryside. Humanity has set as its objective the greening of social and economic life, and the rural environment is of crucial importance in achieving it.

The selection of suitable grass fodder crops and their cultivars are key factors determining efficiency in agrarian production. In order to produce the most economically efficient bird's-foot-trefoil cultivar for cultivation under mountain conditions, research was conducted in the experimental field of the Research Institute of Mountain Stockbreeding and Agriculture-Troyan. The experiment was based on the block method with the following bird's-foot-trefoil cultivars: Targovishte 1 (Bulgaria), Bursztym (Poland), Kalo (USA), Lot (Poland), Madison (France), MO – 20 (USA), Nico (Romania) were studied for their impact on economic efficiency. It has been established that the genotypic characteristics of the cultivars and the applied production technology determine the productivity and profitability of the obtained fodder production. Soil and climate conditions has a major impact on the level of average yield, gross revenue and profitability of the obtained fodder. From an economic point of view, the Madison and Bursztym cultivars are the most suitable for inclusion in the structure cultivars in the production of bird's-foot-trefoil fodder. They realize fodder production at the lowest production costs, high gross profit and lowest production costs. Their highest efficiency ratio makes them extremely cost-effective and an alternative for agricultural practice.
