Making a choice between organic and conventional methods in times of crisis is even more difficult considering production costs and consumption patterns. What is the composition of production costs for an apple orchard, how they can be divided into homogeneous categories and why to choose green are the questions we have tried to answer in this paper.
THE PRESENT RURAL SPACE IN SEARCH OF A NEW IDENTITY NEW CHALLENGES - NEW OPPORTUNITIES MĂRGINIMEA SIBIULUI - AGRICULTURAL COORDINATES
2015
Not only fields like auto industry, IT and services constitute resources of the economic progress known in the last years in the County of Sibiu. In its turn, the agricultural sector has considerable potential; reviving agriculture and revitalizing the rural environment represent possible new development engines, important sources of economic increase respectively, both for our County and at regional level.

KLUM@GTAP: Introducing biophysical aspects of land-use decisions into a general equilibrium model: A coupling experiment
2006
In this paper the global agricultural land use model KLUM is coupled to an extended version of the computable general equilibrium model (CGE) GTAP in order to consistently assess the integrated impacts of climate change on global cropland allocation and its implication for economic development. The methodology is innovative as it introduces dynamic economic land-use decisions based also on the biophysical aspects of land into a state-of-the-art CGE; it further allows the projection of resulting changes in cropland patterns on a spatially more explicit level. A convergence test and illustrative future simulations underpin the robustness and potentials of the coupled system. Reference simulat…
