Agriculture in the town of Recas, Timis County

The solution to the food crisis that affects the entire world nowadays depends directly and decisively on increasing the agricultural yield, through rational use of the productive resources and technical and social modernization of agriculture, since agriculture is the main branch of world food economy. That is why the effort of all countries must be focused on increasing the availability of food worldwide. Agriculture has been the main - maybe still the only - food source for mankind; the number of people has been continually increasing and this poses a problem especially now, with the population explosion taking place in poor countries. These two major events make it not only necessary but also urgent for all nations to combine their efforts towards finding ways to accelerate the development of agriculture, in order to regulate the great discrepancies in food consumption and to ensure fair living conditions for all inhabitants of the earth. These risks can be reduced or even eliminated only by putting technologies into practice correctly, with the help and under the supervision of agronomists, animal husbandry specialists, veterinarians, chemists and biologists. We, Romanians, are still strongly tied by our origins, culture and mentalities to rural civilization, which may seem to be an impediment in our way to progress and modernization. Nevertheless, we will not solve the problems of modernization by cutting ourselves off from the village, but instead by integrating the villagers in this process which is by no means easy, but certainly long-lasting

The agricultural system in Belint, Timis County

The significant potential or Romanian agriculture, as well as the rise in prices for agricultural products worldwide could maintain the high interest displayed by foreign investors in this sector. This is one of the conclusions drawn by economic analysts regarding the field of agriculture. They claim that Romania presents the highest level of use of unemployed familial workers in agriculture among all EU countries. Another point they make is that the low investment rates have increased the vulnerability of Romanian agriculture to meteorological conditions and induced a volatile behaviour into this sector. The highly fragmented structure of the agricultural area represents an obstacle for attracting new investments, and at the same time it affects work productivity. The rural area is characterized by the existence of a considerable number of people who are economically and socially vulnerable, and who face difficulties in complying with the new set of complex EU requirements in the field of agriculture. The everrising prices represent an opportunity for the countries which benefit from strong agricultural sectors. România enjoys a privileged position from the point of view of the agricultural resources. The arable land represents 39.5% of the total surface: there are only five other countries in the world with a more comfortable position from this point of view. The domestic agricultural sector is frequently seen as the main beneficiary of the fact that Romania has become a part of the European Union. The opportunities arise from the important European funds that can be accessed in the frame of the Common Agricultural Policy - around 7.5 billion euro in the period between 2007 and 2013

Agritourism in the Danube Gorge

We may say, without mistake that tourist journeys occurred during antiquity, and tourism activities in the rural space have been empirically carried out since the same period. Anyway, it is well known, that students largely participated in: visiting sacred places - Dadona (Zeus) and Delphi (Apollo) – curative baths or festive games periodically organized. After the ‘60ies, mankind has started to be more and more preoccupied with holiday destinations, tourism becoming one of the most important economic activities in the world. Simultaneously with manifesting first tendencies in more and more frequent holiday spending in the middle of nature, more and more tourists wished to spend relaxing time in the rural environment (space). Rural tourism is based on most receiving (reception) types existing within equipment largely found on private estates of the rural space inhabitants, who practice (as service providers) tourism activities. The practice of rural tourism grew more and more during the second half of the 20th century. On almost the whole of the European continent, a weekend or a holiday in the country side has become a habit for fresh air, nature and pure ecological space lovers

The agricultural system from the Sagu village area, Arad County

The economic and social importance of agriculture, as single source providing for the satisfaction of some basic human needs – food and clothing – and without which one cannot consider normal social peace and economic development, is known in countries all around the world.

Ecologic and biologic agricultural systems

Ecologic agriculture has a large contribution to long lasting economic development and plays an important role in improving the environment conditions, preserving the soil, improving water quality, biodiversification and nature protection. Ecologic agriculture may move forward in rural economy and may make it viable by extending economic activities with great added value and by generating working places in rural areas. The aim of this paper is to present biological and ecological farming systems in Europe, and Romania. The objectives of this study were presenting ecological agriculture and biological systems and their evolution, the benefits and drawbacks to extensive and intensive agriculture. We also briefly present a new agricultural and permacultural system - an approach to agriculture in terms of harmony with nature

The agricultural system of the Armenis township, Caras Severin County

The purpose of this paperwork is to present a common agriculture in Armeniș with the land, crop structure and companies in the agriculture of the village, soil types and subtypes of the Armeniș township area, environmental factors that influence these traits, the study of important processes and soils of the area. The objectives of this study were to present the agricultural system and the improvement of the city and its possibilities. In the context of a perpetue changing agriculture we must always watch the opportunities that appear all the times. EU founds and programs are at ours hand, we just need a good implement of this agricultural programs in field, because otherwise we will loose the money who are so needed in this part of country.

Determination of some essential mineral elements from different tropical fruits

The purpose of this paper is to determine the concentration of some essential macro and micro elements, from tropical fruits and the role that these minerals play in health benefits. The concentrations of Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu in bananas, grape fruits, kiwi, lemons, mandarins, oranges, pineapples and pomelo sold in Timisoara markets were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry method. The obtained results show that the distribution of the essential mineral elements in the analyzed fruits presents non-uniformity, depending on the fruit species and the nature of the analyzed element. The best represented among the analyzed elements are Ca and Mg (59.1-358 mg/kg Ca, respectively 92-287 mg/kg Mg). Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn were determined in much lower concentrations (1.12-3.26 mg/kg, 0.75-1.53 mg/kg, 0.45-1.21 mg/kg respectively 0.34-7.12 mg/kg), but sufficient considering the requirement of these essential microelements in the human body. However, it can be stated that the studied tropical fruits contain important amounts, especially of calcium and magnesium, but also appreciable amounts of essential microelements: Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn
