Through this study, we have proposed as an objective, an evaluation of the impact that rural development programs have on the economic and social development of the rural environment, carrying out a case study in Călăraşi county. Thus, we monitored the extent to which the funds accessed by the Călăraşi County Council corresponded to the objectives assumed by our country through the Partnership Agreement with the European Union, respectively, whether the financing measures corresponded to the rural development needs of the analyzed county, through the portfolio of implemented projects in the programming period 2014-2020. The investigation methods used in the analysis process were, on the one hand, of a theoretical nature - consisting in the study of the specialized bibliography in the field of public administration, of funding programs from European or national non-reimbursable funds, but also of a practical - application nature - consisting of data collection, their analysis and processing in order to identify projects and financing programs from the portfolio of the Călăraşi County Council for the evaluation of the impact their implementation had on the overall development of the rural area of the county. Through this approach, we appreciate that the county institution is concerned with accessing non-reimbursable funds for the effective development of rural communities, making its mark in the promotion of cultural and natural heritage, in the development of transport and tourist infrastructure, in anchoring rural communities to the European economic and social space. Although in recent years, Călăraşi county experienced an important development regarding the accessibility, as well as the infrastructure of utilities and public services, the county remaining deficient in terms of port infrastructure, connectivity infrastructure with Bulgaria across the Danube, wastewater collection infrastructure and of waste.

The goal of the study is to reorganize agricultural business management's owning small, fragmented, and dispersed lands according to modern agricultural business management thus ensures less usage of time, labour force and fund, take advantages of production factors and increase in productivity of agricultural business managements, increase agricultural production, and ameliorate life standards of inhabitants in the rural area. The paper is based on a large literature in the field and information from TVK about land consolidation. The results reflected that Turkey has implemented Land Consolidation activities for 1 million hectares per year to correct the unfavorable situation caused by inheritance traditions and other reasons. In the first years of the program, inheritance regulations were not perfectly organized, so applications encountered issues. In 2014, new regulations were implemented to prevent land division but did not have a beneficial effect on the development of enterprises. To ensure compensation for land value when they move away, Land Banking applications are needed. The Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock developed a GIS based web portal named “TVK” to track and monitor all the activities performed during the management of Land Consolidation Projects. TVK ensures following content to be executed: Contract Management, Project Management and Monitoring, Schedule Planning and Monitoring, Operation Management and Monitoring, Data Management (Textual and Geographical), Estimated Cost Calculation for a LCP by using unit price pool, Progress Payment Management and Monitoring, Final Account Calculation, Interim and Final Acceptance Procedures, Official Letters, Official Reports, Project Statistics, Geographical Data Marking, Correction, Comparison, Redlining, Mobile applications and E-government integration.TVK has instant and online access to governments Land Registry and Cadastre Information System, Central Population Information System, Address Registration System, Agricultural Information System and Agricultural Parcel Information System. TVK is developed with open-source technologies and compatible with OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) and ISO standards.

The paper analyzed the evolution animal sector regarding livestock and production in Romania in the period 2007-2020. Two sub-periods: P1- 2007-2013 and P2 2014-2020 were compared for assessing if the achievements in P2 were superior. The data from the National Institute of statistics regarding livestock and production by species were processed using fixed basis index, structural index, regression equations, coefficient of determination, multi annual mean per decade, absolute and relative differences between P2 and P1, in order to emphasize the trends and changes during the studied period. The results emphasized the following: the number of bovines, pigs and poultry decreased, while the number of sheep and goats and bee families increased both in P2 and P1. The total animal live weight at slaughter diminished due to the lower and lower live weight of bovines and pigs. However, the increased live weight at slaughter of sheep, goats and poultry had a positive impact. Milk and egg production declined and continued in P2, while wool and honey production increased. Despite that agricultural production value in animal sector increased by +20,420 trillion Lei in 2020 versus 2007, it was by 68.61% smaller than the agricultural production value achieved in the vegetal sector. In consequence, the contribution of animal sector to agricultural output was just 31.39% in the year 2020. The gaps in domestic production have to be covered by imports to meet consumers' requirements and this will deepen the deficit in agro-food trade balance. The reduction of CO2 emissions in agriculture, where 50% come from animal sector, obliges farmers to set up strategies destined to promote animal products obtained from more environment friendly technologies.

Through this paper we aimed to show that, during a vegetative cycle, winter cereal must go through a physiological process of vernalization (low temperatures), which induces and controls flowering and fruiting, also regulating the following development stages. The research objective was to establish the vernalization model on 5 wheat and 2 barley winter varieties, in difficult climatic conditions, generated by water stress, lack of cold periods, but also by some technological aspects. Own research, observations and measurements were carried out in the experimental fields with varieties from south Romania (Modelu - Calarasi county), during the period 2012-2022.It was found that there are significant differences between varieties regarding the parameters required for vernalization, the development of which is genetically coordinated by genes that produce vernalin – the hormone that induces vernalization and which, modified by demethylation, forms gibberellic acid, subsequently participating in the development of the apex, of the spikelets, of the ear, pollinating anthers and soft grains. Uneven seedbed preparation work and sowing depth also create inequalities in water access to seeds, in the achievement of germination and vernalization.

Production risk insurance is a mandatory component of any effective management system in all areas of economic activity. In agriculture, where production activities, primarily in crop cultivation, are subject to the influence of uncontrolled natural factors - droughts, hail, heavy rains, hurricanes, abnormal temperature fluctuations, etc., risk insurance remains an objective necessity. The study conducted by the authors in this paper on the level of development of agricultural insurance in the Republic of Moldova highlights the poor development and low interest of farmers in agricultural risk insurance products. The application of statistical analysis tools and content analysis allowed the authors to conclude that the problem of agricultural risk insurance could be solved to some extent by the implementation of the Agriculture Index Insurance method by insurers. At the same time, the association of groups of agricultural producers in the establishment of mutual agricultural insurance companies based on public-private partnership principles would increase the insurance coverage of this sector.

Covid-19 pandemic led to many disturbances in everyday life, including regular supplies with medicines and food especially during quarantine. The present study aimed to investigate the way the pandemic affected the food chain based on consumers' preferences for e-shopping of food products. An anonymous questionnaire was distributed before the pandemic in February-March 2020 and later in September 2020-March 2021 among 470 Bulgarian citizens in total. The survey showed that for 43.4% of the respondents “Online shop/ E-shop/ E-market” was the most preferred online channel for ordering/purchasing food. The reasons for choosing internet shopping varied: convenience of purchase (19.6%); no physical attendance (6.4%); fresh products (3.8%); comparison of prices (8.5%); lack of preferred products on the conventional market (11.1%); finding products from distant markets (10.9%); health issues/isolation (0.2%). There were several types of products purchased via internet: food from animal origin (6.2%); fruits & vegetables (2.6%); organic food (18.1%); delicacies/exquisite products (8.5%); honey & bee products (5.5%); medicinal food/additives (12.3%); confectionery (7.7%); pet food (0.6%); cooked meals (1.3%). In conclusion, food purchased online was significantly increased during the Covid-19 epidemic and afterwards due to changes in the consumers' demands.

This paper investigates the current state of production from cattle, buffaloes, sheep and goats in the hilly, foot-hilly and mountain regions of Bulgaria, as well as the opportunities for its increase. Negative trend were observed in the populations of cattle, sheep and goats in the last two decades. 634,466 cattle were raised in Bulgaria in 2001, 371,901 of which were dairy cows. Data for 2020 showed values of 568,700 heads of cattle, 365,500 of which were dairy cows and pregnant heifers. In this period, the number of sheep decreased from 1,571,410 in 2001 to 1,307,800 in 2020, and the decline in goats was even more noticeable, from 675,292 in 2001 to 253,400 in 2020. The decline in the breeding of farm animals led to a decrease in the volume of animal milk and meat products. For the positive development of the volume of agricultural production in the foot-hilly and mountain regions of Bulgaria, decisions are needed to improve the gene pool, health care, feeding, as well as the application of advanced modern technologies. The advantage of mountain and foot-hilly agriculture is in the creation of high-quality food products and for this reason it is necessary to support it through appropriate measures and programs.

In Moldova, the adoption of the Law for Ecological Agri-Food Products (2005) and the Law on Subsidizing Principles in Agriculture and Rural Development (2016) contributed to the beginning of government support for organic farming.The objective of this paper is to examine the influence and effectiveness of support policies for the growth of organic farming. The legal documents for the programs and policies adopted are the framework for the data analysis. Secondary data from the Agency of Interventions and Payments in Agriculture (AIPA) regarding the number of applications, converted area, and analysis of allocated subsidies for organic agricultural development were used for the impact analysis. Due to differences between national legislation and European policies, local ecological certificates are not recognized on the E.U. market, which creates challenges for export under the organic label. This is a major issue for the development of organic farming in Moldova. The lack of control capacity of conversions, certification of technologies, raw materials and organic products, and few professional trained workers in organic agriculture cause additional problems to farmers restricting the expansion of ecological agriculture in Moldova.
