The economic effects of the First World War included various direct and indirect dimensions. The war resulted not only in material and human loss but also in significant restructuring of economic flows and mechanisms; further displacements and reorganizations arose from the new political and economic order established post-1918. Discussing the dire...

Considering the extremely challenging circumstances faced by the Romanian government and local authorities following World War I, it is undeniable that the most urgent issue was the overall recovery of the national economy. Not surprisingly, this required a comprehensive reconstruction process that necessitated substantial financial resources, part...

The 1921 agrarian reform had a strong social and national character, enforcing a certain degree of uniformity in the structure of the Kingdom of Romaniaʼs land fund, as well as a political one, yet not an economic one, given that although agricultural holdings under 5 hectares became numerically dominant, they did not prove to be economically viabl...

The agrarian reform of 1921 aggravated the contrasts between large, medium, and small-scale land properties, putting once more into focus the fact that the Romanian agricultural economy was based on the large properties, while the social economy was primarily focused on subsistence, which was specific to the second category of properties. The liter...

In the historical context of the social disorganization in both rural and urban areas following the conclusion of military operations in the First World War, as well as the various tensions between the different factions and political structures at that time, the Agrarian Reform Law was drawn up, marked both by a series of benefits and by insurmoun...

Câteva considerații asupra rolului micilor producători agricoli interbelici - repere orientative pentru România

Deliverable D3.3 describes the process and results that embrace a methodological and logical framework for Cities and Regions Food Systems to apply Systems Thinking.

This deliverable investigates the socio-economic effects of ecological approaches to farming through implementing two participatory approaches, namely Delphi exercise and Q-method, at the level of a case study area (CSA). The focus is on how people and other productive assets are employed and remunerated by ecological approaches to agriculture, par...

In Romania, there is an emerging market of dairy products delivered through short food supply chains. Although this distribution system has existed since the communist period, and even though more than three decades have passed since then, the market fails to be mature, subject to taxation, or achieve a high diversity in terms of dairy categories,...

Notwithstanding the multiple perceived deficiencies of the 1918-1921 agrarian reform pointed out by several authors, it can be firmly stated that it had considerable impact both in the County of Iași as well as in most other territorial units of interwar Romania, fact which is recorded in most of the papers written on the topic of the reform. Some...

The small entrepreneurship on the Romanian food market is facing a series of concerns closely connected to the particular issues of an emerging economic sector. The entrepreneurial reactions are, quite often, intuitive, fall within a relation with the consumer which has been historically shaped in the zone of merchant behaviour, and barely employ d...

The present paper intends to address the impact of COVID-19 crisis upon the consumer buying behavior of fresh vegetables directly from local producers as observed 30 days later, after enforcing the state of emergency in Romania within a well-defined area, namely, the quarantined area of Suceava. The study relies on the interpretation of answers rec...

Rezultatele analizei intermediare a răspunsurilor obținute din municipiul Cluj-Napoca pot fi folosite de micii producători locali de legume proaspete pentru a reuși să-și valorifice producția obținută chiar și în condiții restrictive.

O analiză intermediară a datelor colectate la nivel național (1806 chestionare) evidențiază faptul că o criză sanitară și economică cum este cea provocată de SARS-CoV-2 generează numeroase modificări comportamentale în rândul consumatorilor de legume proaspete din România în ceea ce privește achiziționarea directă de la producători locali.

Criza actuală provocată de Covid 19, pe lângă faptul că a provocat o situație de insecuritate alimentară, a dovedit și faptul că viabilitatea lanțurilor alimentare scurte (LAS) contribuie în mod cert la atenuarea efectelor crizei economice și alimentare și chiar la depășirea acesteia.

At present, short food-supply chains (SFSCs) are an economically viable alternative to globalized agri-food circuits and have an ever increasingly important role in local supply networks. SFSCs are varied in nature and practice and effectively provide many economic, social, cultural, environmental and, last but not least, community benefits. The sp...

The historiographical and socio-economic topic of the 1918-1921 agrarian reform, marked by aconsiderable degree of difficulty due to a multitude of objective, quantitative as well as qualitative factors, represents a point of reference in the research endeavours focused on the social and economic evolution of Romania. In fact, the major difficultie...

At present, gastronomy is becoming an increasingly stronger motivation and focus of interest in economics, especially in fields related to tourism. At the same time, gastronomic tourism represents one of the most important business opportunities, allowing direct contact between food sector producers and tourists. Moreover, food related tourism i...

Short food supply chains (SFSCs) are a viable alternative to conventional food supply chains, accessible to small-scale farmers. SFSCs hold multiple benefits from the socioeconomic , cultural, environmental and health improvement points of view, meeting the farmers' need to reconnect to end-consumers. Firstly, SFSCs contribute to some extent to hel...

În zilele noastre, lanţurile scurte de aprovizionare constituie o alternativă viabilă la lanțurile logistice agroalimentare globalizate, jucând un rol din ce în ce mai important în cadrul rețelelor de aprovizionare. Sunt extrem de variate din punct de vedere al naturii și al practicilor şi conferă numeroase beneficii de ordin economic, social, de m...

An analysis of the present situation of rural areas in general, and of the Romanian ones in particular, represents an endeavour which cannot be undertaken in the absence of a historical analysis of the development of the rural environment, given the fact that the rural space has never been a static entity but a dynamic one, in constant confrontatio...

Agricultura ţărănească a reprezentat întotdeauna o alternativă viabilă pentru populația autohtonă în ceea ce priveşte asigurarea consumului curent de alimente. Astfel, chiar dacă actualmente la nivelul majorității statelor europene dezvoltate circuitele agroalimentare scurte de aprovizionare sunt considerate ca fiind inovative, în ceea ce privește...
