Summary/Abstract: Sustainable development - as a concept - had as its starting point the global economic crisis at the beginning of the twentieth century, reaching today the inclusion of all economic, social, and human spheres. This is the new path of humanity. For it is a concept that promotes the conciliation between economic and social progress and the balance of the planet in terms of environmental quality. The explosive growth of the planet's population comes with difficult problems for billions of people: hunger, lack of water, depreciation of the environment. These elements can lead to conflicts, which are accentuated in the current geostrategic context through: migrations due to armed conflicts and hunger, overpopulation, fewer and fewer natural resources. Food security and the ability to meet minimum needs must keep pace with climate change. In a world and an increasingly globalized economy, as a member country of the European Union (EU), Romania must capitalize on its agricultural potential. The land market, with many very fertile lands, is the resource of maximum interest in protecting the national population and ensuring food security.
