“…As remarked in the literature (Vasile & Ungureanu, 2014;Schwarz et al, 2015;Heijman et al, 2019;Bowers & Cheshire, 2019;Balogh & Jámbor, 2020), agriculture has to face new challenges imposed by the implementation of new production systems, climate change, price volatility, development of international trade with agricultural products, changing diets, urbanization or depopulation of rural areas At the same time, new technologies are imposed by the need for sectorial adaptation as part of either maintaining the competitiveness of the agricultural sector or reducing dependence on migrant labor in these areas. Also, as (Neumayer & De Soysa, 2005;Deblonde et al, 2007;Pandey et al, 2019;Borsellino et al, 2020;Jiang & Chen, 2020;Yao et al, 2020;Zaman et al, 2020) highlight the unsustainable or unethical practices of agri-food corporations such as inhumane treatment of livestock, use of pesticides and fertilizers with consequences on environmental and food contamination, genetically modified crops, water usage and recycling, questionable practices (such as misleading or double standard offers on product quality sold in developed and developing countries), environmental pollution, monopolistic practices, small farm exclusion, improper working conditions, exacerbation of child labour, land use change and land grabbing.…”
