Abstract: Nowadays, globalization means the involvement and continued development of the countries in the world, which aims at a significant reduction in the cost of transport and communication. On the other hand, these actions may result in the creation of artificial barriers, which may interfere with the transfer of knowledge and the relationship between people. The purpose of this investigation is to show that the changes created by globalization are inevitably influenced by the resistance of the rural population, in various forms, as well as consumer movements on food safety and fair trade, movements of the farmers concerned of the impact of globalisation on relations distributive transactions rural or the use of pesticides. Farmers are worried about the fact that because the traditions of globalization could be forgotten, and in particular traditional foods. For this purpose, this research will analyse the consumption of nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural crops in the countries of the European Union for example Italy, Germany, France, Greece, Hungary or Romania, but also Switzerland. The research is based on data from Commission European Union reports and the database of Eurostat, which offers to the interpretation of exact data on the use of these inorganic fertilisers in agricultural crop. The main objective is to observe the trend for the use of the two inorganic fertilizers during the period 2014-2016, as well as comparing the countries in scope. The case of Switzerland provides an example to be followed for the European community as it reduces the amount of nitrogen and promotes use of phosphorus, as demonstrates consumer care. In the world economy and society, rural represents one of the most important branches, the reason for which we believe that it is crucial to approach the impact of globalization on these areas.
