RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE THREE SEAS INITIATIVE. CAN THE INITIATIVE BECOME AN AGRICULTURAL POWERHOUSE? CASE STUDY: ROMANIA
Abstract
The Three Seas Initiative (3SI) is a platform for improving connectivity between twelve EU Member States allocated between Baltic, Adriatic and Black seas. As the interconnectivity develops the need for a harmonised rural development become more stringent in order to boost the economic growth and resilience of the region. Add to this the food security challenges of the war in Ukraine and we are having before us a new and interesting research area. The paper would identify the trends in the agriculture in the region, the strengths and weakness of the rural development and the problems that need to be addressed. The paper would also map out the main agricultural and rural developments in the Initiative and their financing sources to see whether the regional actors are working together and if so, how they do that. A special interest would be given to Romania as a relevant case study as well as to the formulation of recommendations for the rural development in the Initiative.
