LEGAL SETTLEMENT OF AGRICULTURAL MANAGEMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This paper analyzes the legal framework governing agricultural management activities in Romania and its impact on the rural development process. Starting from the premise that agriculture represents a fundamental pillar of the rural economy, the research examines how national and European legislation influence the economic efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness of agricultural holdings. The study investigates the main normative acts in the field of agricultural law, the organizational forms of agricultural holdings as well as the role of public institutions and agricultural advisory services in implementing rural policies. Furthermore, it highlights the correlation between the legal management of agricultural resources and the promotion of rural tourism as a complementary vector of local economic development.
