Abstract: Sustainable development is development that combines the present requirements without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability is therefore characterized by three main aspects often in conflict: the economic aspect (effectiveness), the social (equity) and environmental (pollution, degradation). In the agricultural sector link between efficiency, equity and environment is very necessary. Economic performance in agriculture depends primarily on availability and quality of natural resources. Environmental damage may adversely affect agricultural productivity and income, which in turn may be pressure on economic and social structure in rural communities. Thus, in the current economic crisis, the experts recommended as solutions three main directions of interest: tourism, investments in renewable energy and organic farming.
