A Difficult Pattern to Change in Romania, the Perspective of Socio-Economic Development

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The rural area is a basic component from a socio-economic point of view, being closely linked to the activities that take place in these areas. Normally, Romanian rural localities should show significant differences from one development region to another, being influenced by a number of factors (geographical positioning, the influence of agriculture in the economy, etc.). In this sense, data were collected from the town halls of the localities from Calarasi and Timis counties. The analyzed data were processed by the linear regression method, and the estimation of the evolution of the population was determined using the Vensim simulation program. The paper identifies a pattern in rural localities in Romania that hinders their development, reflected by various socio-economic indicators available in the analyzed localities. The main factor that can change this pattern in rural localities is the influence of local and national decision-makers, who can encourage investment in these areas either through the development of local and national infrastructure or through fiscal measures that encourage the development of quality non-agricultural activities that can generate financial resources and jobs at the local level. Moreover, it is not only the low number of non-agricultural activities that is causing the poor development of rural areas, but rather the low number of economic operators in general and the quality of these types of activities, which in most cases do not have the capacity to create new jobs.

“…When it comes to researching and promoting food systems, researchers and advocates must deal with finding new and creative methods to better connect proper nutrition to food security and food safety, while also raising the issue's accessibility from a political standpoint [12]. This addresses the issue of food security and food safety, both of which contribute to improved nutrition in food systems that are both healthy and sustainable [13].…”

It is critical to ensure that the availability of food, as well as food safety, are preserved in food security systems. This has substantial consequences on the health of world’s population. Food safety deals with food-borne disease, and it focuses on how, where, and what food is handled, prepared, and stored. The healthiness of a diet depends on the nutritional quality of its food. Food security is a multifaceted concept that takes into account several issues and projects throughout the globe. The findings from this study are intended to provide insight into the food security of children in rural Punjab, India. To study the possibility to establish sustainable programmes that assure hot meals for school students in rural Punjab, the primary goal of the research is to do so. Researchers in Punjab have not done any equivalent scholarly study focusing on food security from an economic standpoint. In-depth nondirective interviews were used to find out what experienced professionals thought. The findings reveal the need to increase family and school food resources to meet the nutritional requirements of children in rural regions. Additionally, offering hot meals in primary schools in impoverished communities is justifiable since poor nutrition among school-aged children has both short-term and long-term impacts on their academic success and development. These findings lead to management implications for policy makers who want to measure the effectiveness of national and state funded educational programmes.

“…Of the two possible research philosophies (postpositivism and interpretivism), the current study adopted an interpretive approach based on the assumption that reality is largely mindconstructed and therefore, primary data was narrative in nature based on participants' understanding of the social world, (Tecau and et. al., 2020), in this case, their experiences of the Al Jouf project.…”

The current study investigates issues related to the Commercialization of Agriculture in Saudi Arabia in the light of various theories of sustainable agriculture. The rationale for this study is needed to investigate the importance of a Commercialization of the agriculture sector as the country diversifies its sources of revenue. The aim of the government is to reinvigorate the country’s once-thriving agricultural sector in the interests of food security by minimizing its need for food importation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with farm workers and managers to elicit their views on the current state of agriculture in Saudi Arabia, the challenges they faced due to arid climatic conditions, and their opinions as to what needed to be prioritized in government agrarian policies. The key findings which emerged from thematic analysis are then presented and discussed. The study concludes with recommendations that the participants considered important for facing the challenges to sustainable agriculture in desert regions.
