Sustainability Issues in Romania

Farms in Romania are facing many sustainability issues.  Only 3.7 million hectare out of 16 million hectare are sustainable. (1 hectare=10,000 m^2)  There are many changes necessary to make more land sustainable, but certain objectives have been identified as the most important.  One being that more farming products that do not have harmful chemicals need to be created and used.  An obvious one,  but one commonly forgotten, is that the preservation of natural resources should underlie every decision made.  Also, the soil should be respected and preserved, because ultimately it is the source of all growth.  Romania is facing the same problem as America, because many farms are placing productivity over proper techniques.  The first step to sustainability is for farmers step back see the worth in slowing their production rate in order to protect the environment.
