  Abstract:  

From the Subsistence Agriculture to the Ecological Mountain Agriculture in the Upper Basin of the Someşul Mare River. Comprising a number of 10 political-administrative units (9 communes and one town), the upper basin of the Someşul Mare river has, because of the morphologic-topographical features of the terrain and the soil and climate conditions, a subsistence agriculture, while industrial activities had either “vanished” (mining and ore processing), or significantly reduced their activity (primary wood processing, milk processing, exploitation and primary processing of construction rocks, etc). Under these circumstances, material and especially financial resources necessary for sustainable rural development are decreasing. Therefore, the only viable alternative to boost the social and economic life of the human habitats in the region remains rural tourism, with its variant – agro-ecotourism, respecting the new guidelines imposed by the Administration of the Rodna Mountains National Park, together with a mountain ecological agriculture.

 

Keywords: local agriculture, small farmers, mountain agriculture, organic products, natural pastures, hay meadows, small orchards, mountain pasturing, ecological agro-tourism, sustainable rural development, mountain ecological agriculture.
