“…In the European Union (EU) countries, the agri-environment-climate scheme (AECS) measures are introduced within the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) 9 , 10 . While there are studies to investigate the impacts of AECS such as on farmland biodiversity 11 , farm performance 12 , farm employment 13 , groundwater quality 14 , and adoption of the AECS in EU agriculture and policy modelling of economic, sustainability and development effects 15 – 18 , there is no study to investigate drivers of adoption and intensity of AECS concerning the gender 19 , 20 . This gap in the literature has motivated our research 21 .…”

The agricultural and rural development policy seeks to facilitate the transition towards environmentally sustainable and climate-neutral agricultural practices, with a focus on human capital, knowledge, and innovation. Gender equality can play a significant role in promoting environmentally sustainable practices in the agricultural sector, particularly through the adoption and implementation of agri-environment-climate schemes (AECS) in the context of farm, agricultural, and rural development. We examine the presence of gender bias in the adoption intensity of AECS by utilising farm-level data from Slovenia. We find that women on Slovenian farms engage in the adoption of AECS and receive subsidies, despite the presence of a gender gap in various agricultural factor endowment variables that typically favour men. The results of this study provide evidence in favour of promoting greater involvement and empowerment of women in the fields of green technology applications and green entrepreneurship, particularly with AECS practices.

“…At the European Union level, a series of papers have analyzed various aspects related to the SDG in different countries, such as Italy [26][27][28][29], Germany [30,31], France [32], and Spain [33,34]. Since the mentioned countries are part of a union, it should also be noted that many studies focus on determining the sustainability of the European Union [25,[35][36][37].…”

The objectives of sustainable development aim to find a balance between economic, social, and ecological plans through which to reduce the use of the planet’s resources without somehow affecting human well-being. As we have already entered the second half of the time allotted to achieve these goals, it is necessary to note what progress has been made and to have a future analysis of what may happen to see what can be done to bring this plan to an end. Hence, the aim of this paper is to assess the extent to which Romania is projected to attain its sustainable development goals. In order to be able to forecast the route that some of the sustainable development objectives are heading towards (among which there are elements related to agriculture, energy poverty, pollution, innovation, youth education, etc.), values were forecast for a period of three years using the ARIMA method, having as historical data the period 2015–2021. According to the analysis carried out, for some objectives, the situation seems to be flourishing, but this is not the case for all the analyzed indicators. Thus, it should be taken into account that, at the European level, Romania occupies, in many cases, low positions in terms of the progress made and that it is possible that some of the objectives will not be met.
