Abstract
In the last decadeEuropean population is witnessing a popular phenomenon of growing the capital image of organic products. Romania is a country that provides resources for the growth and stabilization of such a productive environment in order to establish an optimal development of ecological food. Also its approach it is mostly conservative and conventional and this a big struggle in the way of organic development on a serie of layers. The purpose of this article is to validate the arguments that this kind of agri-food products and this type of agriculture is a vector of sustainable development that can also represent the key to the economical stability of a country. The considerable progress of the technology opens the perspective of the importance of a balanced lifestyle and the point of view can be economical, political, social and also sustainable. To the necessity of this article contributes the change of the behaviour of consume in the last decade when possible customers became more selective in the process of purchasing food. The arguments presented in this article sustain the potential of development in Romania in agricultural and agro-sales fields through statistical analysis and interpretation and also by the opinion of the top entrepreneurs which activate in agriculture in Romania. The article aims to highlight the need to bring to the common denominator the two variables of the ecological optimal equation: the mitigation of the negative effects of conventional farming on the environment and the provision of a healthy lifestyle for current and future generations.
