Abstract: Starting from the natural, demographic and economic resources of our country and from the general trends of the European Green Deal and of the “Farm to Fork” Strategy, the vision of the researchers of the Institute of Agricultural Economics (IAE) researchers regarding Romania’s sustainable food security towards 2050 is based on four general objectives aimed at: 1) Increasing the role of Romanian agriculture as food security supplier; 2) Improving population’s access to food and the quality of food; 3) Adapting agriculture to climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions; 4) Transforming the agri-food sector into an innovative sector. The strategic document presents the specific indicators and proposed targets to reach these rather ambitious objectives. To meet these targets, the policies, measures and necessary actions must take into consideration: changing the structure and diversifying the agricultural production so that the share of livestock production will increase to 40% by the year 2050; improving the valorisation of Romanian agricultural products through investment programmes in the agri-food processing industry; ensuring balance between large and small-sized farms through land policies aimed at: setting up or maintaining farmers, increasing the size of small farms, measures limiting the exaggerated increase in the areas of large farms and discouraging land speculation
