Good Management Practices in Managing the Most Important Factors to Ensure Dureble Soil Quality

Abstract

The importance of sustainable development has started to be acknowledged in Romania as well, once the various pollution sources and the restrictions affecting industrial and agricultural pollution were identified, from an economic and ecological standpoint. Sustainable development represents the need of raising awareness about environmental protection and educating people, and this aspect is reflected by the evolution of communal policies in recent years, policies marked by a shift from an approach based on constraints and sanctions to a higher level of flexibility, based on incentives. The purpose of this paper is to make a recommendation for improving existing policy by making an assessment of economic incentives in order to stimulate farmers to adopt sustainable farming systems of a viable, sustainable agriculture, capable to apply the newest technologies and lead to profit and efficiency, to the economical and organizational consolidation. To analyse the effects of different zone packages on income of farmers and the environment a linear programming model is developed for a typical, 192 ha mixed farm in the Iasi region plain pilot area. The major activities of the farm is keeping dairy cattle, growing fodder (grass, alfalfa, silage maize) and cash crops (winter wheat and maize).

Monitoring the Anthropogenic Toxicity of Spontaneous Flora in Neamt County through Studies of the Honey Bee Chemical Characteristics

“…Therefore, taking honey as a bio indicator of the level of environmental pollution, we can conclude that the researched areas are not polluted with this heavy metal. Following the analyzes carried out in the period 2012-2017 [27][28][29][30][31], in the four research sites (forestry, agricultural, rural, urban approaches), we found that the content of Pb in honey samples analyzed varies year function and is very close to the specificity of the site where the apiary was located (table 10). The presence of Pb was found in all honey samples analyzed in both years of research, ranging from a minimum of 0.008 mg/kg (the forest site) to a maximum of 0.311 mg/kg (urban proximity site).…”

“…can penetrate. In general, according to research findings [27][28][29][30][31], the presence of metals in honey depends on the botanical origins of honey, the type of soil and the anthropogenic activities taking place in the given site of the given environment.…”

Statistical Analysis of Raw and Potable Water Quality from a Preparation Plant, as a Basis to Purpose the Re-schedule of the Physico-Chemical Current Routine Analysis Periodicity

“…Such type of extended and deepened statistical analysis is used in many fields and is absolutely necessary for data processing [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43], related also to environmental issues [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57]. Resolving the environmental issues induced by pollution will increase the quality of human life, as well as of the environment [58].…”

Exploring the Topics of Soil Pollution and Agricultural Economics: Highlighting Good Practices

“…However, it is important to be aware that the characteristics of farms and their respective external conditions/environments diverge between countries, regions and locals [33]. On the other hand, the perception and the importance given by the several stakeholders to the problems related with sustainable agricultural development are not equal across the world's countries, including differences between even the European member-states [34,35]. Indeed, sometimes, the difficulties to find adjusted solutions for soil pollution stems from the great diversity of realities around the world, including those within the European Union.…”
