This study explores the intersection of digitalization and legislative support in intellectual property protection for fodder additive production technologies, highlighting its role in driving agricultural innovation and sustainability. The literature reveals a dynamic interplay between advancements in patent law, smart technologies, and digital tools within the agricultural sector. Patent law emerges as a critical driver, with global complexities in securing patent protection posing challenges for inventors, particularly in the context of fodder additive technologies. These legal frameworks significantly influence innovation trajectories and market accessibility. Smart technologies, discussed within the framework of sustainable agriculture and the 4th Industrial Revolution, demonstrate the potential to enhance productivity while addressing ecological, economic, and social dimensions. However, concerns over market concentration and inequitable technology distribution underscore the need for inclusive legislative measures to ensure fair competition and accessibility for small producers. Case studies from Australia, Japan, and the European Union further contextualize these themes. The fragmented policy landscape in Australia highlights the need for cohesive digital governance frameworks, while Japanese studies emphasize the role of community networks in technology adoption. EU research showcases the transformative potential of digital tools in optimizing resource use, enhancing sustainability, and improving agricultural efficiency. The findings underscore the necessity of robust legislative frameworks to balance proprietary innovation and public accessibility. This study concludes that integrating digital tools with supportive policies can drive innovation, enhance sustainability, and ensure equitable benefits in agricultural technology development, paving the way for resilient and sustainable food systems.

The rapid advancement of Big Data and artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed management accounting practices, necessitating a reevaluation of job profiles and skill-sets required for professionals in this field. This study explores managerial accounting practices in Romanian contexts, examining how digital technology aligns with competitive strategy, managerial efficiency, human resources constraints, and limited resources constraints. Grounded in technology determinism and the resource-based view theory, this research identifies factors influencing the successful implementation of and challenges associated with managerial accounting practices. A sequential mediation analysis investigates pathways wherein investments in human resources and constraints related to limited resources influence managerial advancement through digital technology and competitive strategy. This study emphasizes digital technologies’ role in optimizing costs, enhancing operational processes, and facilitating strategic decision-making. This study’s conclusions show that, even in situations with limited resources, digital transformation projects greatly improve managerial effectiveness and competitive strategy. The participants included 406 professional accountants from the Romanian accounting community. Practical implications for companies include the necessity for strategic planning in digital implementations to mitigate constraints and capitalize on opportunities for sustainable growth and competitive advantage. This report provides a path to optimize the potential of digital technology and gives practical recommendations for researchers and business leaders.

The scourge of food waste (FW) is a significant global challenge, impacting climate change, food security, and the sustainability of agrifood systems. The objective of this paper is to identify, analyze, and understand the factors influencing household consumer behaviors in Romania regarding the reduction of FW. Three primary research objectives were established to assess food consumption behaviors within households, to explore attitudes toward FW, and to understand the motivations for reducing FW along with the measures implemented by households to address this issue. Methodology: Data were collected through an online self-administered questionnaire, designed to investigate consumer behaviors related to the avoidance of FW. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed, and a linear regression model was developed to evaluate a composite index measuring Romanian consumers’ behavior towards FW reduction. Results: The resulting model identifies key predictors that drive concrete actions to minimize FW, including the desire to mitigate the environmental impact, household conversations about FW and strategies to reduce it, established food routines, the influence of one’s social circle, individual ecological and social responsibility, and the effectiveness of awareness campaigns addressing the consequences of FW. Practical and social implications: The findings highlight the necessity of education and awareness initiatives to shift attitudes and behaviors concerning FW. Future research is warranted to deepen understanding and enhance interventions. Originality: This study represents a pioneering and innovative inquiry into FW behavior in Romania, filling a gap in the existing literature and contributing to the broader discourse on this pressing environmental issue.
