Abstract In the present work, the main physical and chemical elements that define the water quality of the Cricovul Dulce river, within the Ialomita hydrographic basin, were monitored, a river that runs through the counties of Prahova and Dambovita. The central objective of this work was to analyze the physico-chemical indicators of the Cricovul Dulce river, of pH, temperature, oxygen, saturation, turbidity, BOD, COC-Cr level, in two sections, respectively upstream near the city of Moreni and within the radius of Baltita. After studying the mentioned parameters, the Cricovul Dulce river waters were classified into quality classes in the analyzed sections.

Abstract Agriculture is reinventing itself, in a world in constant motion, where the current generation of farmers seems to be much more informed about new technologies (sensors, software, agrobots, tractors guided by GPS, satellites, etc.) that have direct results in increasing business efficiency which they develop in the agricultural field, while protecting their yields. The new regulations at the level of the European Union create pressure on farmers, who are forced to rethink the business model they are developing, based on sustainability principles and with new technologies, which once implemented can create new economic opportunities for farmers and for the communities from which they are part, as well for the environment. SMART Livestock Farming (S - simple, specific; M - measurable; A - acceptable and achieved; R - realistic; T - temporal, that is mean with a time limit) should include a repetitive cycle of collecting and processing data, namely: ⇒ Observation (by sensors) ⇒ Diagnostics (interpretation of the data transmitted by the sensors) ⇒ Decisions (in real-time and informed) ⇒ Implementation (evaluation and action). At the European Union level, an important percentage of the value of agricultural output is represented by milk production (approximately 154 million tonnes/year, 70% being produced in Germany, France, Poland, Netherlands, Italy and Ireland). In Romania, animal husbandry was, is and will be for the future, a prime occupation, in guaranteeing the agri-food goods necessary to feed the population. Without a doubt, cattle in Romania are one of the most valuable farm animals, due to the multiple advantages they offer us. Cow farms need to ensure optimal environmental conditions with constant parameters for performance and competition, in obtaining milk and meat production from a quantitative and qualitative point of view, as well as animal health. Following the research carried out on the farm for the breeding of milk cows, the necessary parameters for the assessment of the main microclimate factors were determined and the results obtained were compared with the existing norms in the specialized literature, regarding the conditions for raising and exploiting cattle. Animal health is an element that must concern us permanently. Only a healthy animal will perform in the production, to benefit the farm, farmers and consumers.

Abstract Climate change represents the most serious threat to the environment, with negative effects on agricultural productivity, both in the vegetable and livestock sectors. The article proposes an analysis of the agricultural sector in Romania from the perspective of the contribution to global warming and the impact of climate change on the plant sector. Data from the National Institute of Statistics, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the National Meteorological Agency, the European Union and the European Environment Agency were used for the analysis. The analyzed data show that Romania’s agriculture is not intensive in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, the type of emissions being related to the way of soil management within the agricultural holdings, the number of animals in the holdings and the use of biomass in agricultural practices. Given that Romania’s agriculture is dependent on climatic conditions, food security and the well-being of the population largely depends on how farmers, especially those with subsistence farms, will adapt to climate change. Reducing the risks and effects of global warming requires an integrated strategy that includes climate change adaptation measures, complemented by climate change mitigation measures.

Abstract Every being on this planet should respect the three simple laws of ecology proposed by the famous biologist Barry Commoner, in his book “Making Peace with the Planet”, useful laws in explaining the reasons why the earth is so of “vulnerable” to human abuses: 1) “Each element is connected to the others”; 2) “Everything has to go somewhere”; 3) “Let nature take its course” The aim of the work is to identify the phytocenoses and habitats in the Crang, Spataru and Frasinu forests, as well as to develop people’s ability to sustainably exploit the natural resources of these forests, if we take into account that the first two forests are possibilities for the recreation of wild boars. The work also aims to promote eco-responsible behavior among all of us. In this sense, we must change our mentalities and habits.

Abstract The global spread of African swine fever (ASF) is a threat to the livestock sector with potentially serious consequences for food security. The article proposes an analysis of ASF in Romania from the perspective of the evolution of the number of outbreaks and their impact on the number of pigs, the production obtained and the delivery price. The analysis is based on data provided by the National Institute of Statistics and the National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority. The data indicate that in order to prevent the spread of ASF, 1,208,229 swine heads affected by the disease were eliminated (of which approximately 60,000 breeding sows), the total compensation to the affected owners being 890,880 thousand lei. The impact of the ASF on the pig farming sector translates into a decrease in total herds by 22.6%, a decrease in total meat production by 15.3% and an increase by 16.5% in the average purchase price per kg live weight.

Abstract We live in a world that is changing at an unprecedented rate in all areas of life. Technology, automation and artificial intelligence will be the deciding factors of major changes in the global socio-economic picture by 2030. Because the road to a sustainable economy is unquestionably challenging, the onset of the Covid 19 has slowed this progress, and in some countries, especially low-income countries, it has even declined. In this context, the reality of recent months has shown humanity that we are still very vulnerable to the danger posed by military wars, with weapons and tanks, as we no longer thought possible in the context of the current explosion of information and technology, AI and VR. Unfortunately, we cannot oppose the evolution of humanity, with or without wars, including economic ones, with the major risk that things will “go crazy”, especially if the technology becomes a tool against humanity.
