Abstract

One of the major deficiencies of the rural area is the missing of production diversification and the leak of compliance with Communitarian norms and with International Quality Management Systems. A reduced competitiveness of the processed products determines a trade balance deficit of the agro-food products for the majority traditional agricultural areas. Based on these considerations and on the present tendency in the world economy management regarding the gradual reduction of the fossil fuels use by their replacement with bio-fuels, an applicative study has been elaborated. Its purpose is to support the rural areas sustainable development which has difficulties, by re-conversion of some of their activities towards agricultural crops used for bio-fuels production and the organization of their production in the area where raw materials can be obtained.
