Abstract: The present paper attempts to make an analysis of the agrarian structures based on an extensive bibliographic study in the period of the recent history of Romania. The 20 th century is, in the history of the agrarian economy, dedicated to multiple endeavours to solve the social and economic rural problem. The solution consisted of agrarian reforms that sought to alleviate rural poverty, to decrease the small and medium-sized land property atomization, to counteract the persistence of large properties, to reduce the precariousness of rural living conditions. The European context in which Romania’s agriculture developed in the 20 th century was also generated by the pressures induced by the technical changes; in this sense, the land operation modalities changed, the cropping systems improved, livestock farming expanded, and advanced agro-technical measures were used.
