Abstract

Greenhouse gas emissions are the main cause of the global climate crisis. The EU is the fourth largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, after China, the United States and India, which determined the setting of the Community objective of reducing emissions by 55% by the year 2030 and reaching climate neutrality by 2050. In Romania, agriculture ranks second in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and can play an important role in ensuring its own climate neutrality and can contribute to neutralising the effects produced by other anthropogenic activities. The quality of environmental factors influences the quantity, but especially the quality of food. Organic agriculture is an essential tool in protecting the quality of the environment, by conserving soil, water quality and supporting biodiversity, but also a tool in ensuring a healthy diet. The paper is intended to be an analysis of the quality of the main environmental factors and evolution of organic agriculture in Romania.
