Abstract

At the moment, the area of permanent pastures in Romania is about 4.9 million
hectares, representing 21% of the total country area and 33% of the agricultural
land. Compared to the year 1988, the permanent pasture area increased in 2006
with 12%, and in 2013 it will be 7 million hectares. The pasture area per capita is
0.57ha, at world level, compared to only 0.22 ha in our country. The functional
pasture structure in Romania is deeply disordered by natural factors and especially
by the lack of interest for its amelioration.
