Summary/Abstract: ASAT solidarity partnerships are being developed in Romania since the year 2008, with the purpose of supporting the small agricultural producers that do natural farming. Their development is sustained at national level by the Association Centre of Resources for Ethical and Solidarity Initiatives (CRIES) . The mechanism is based on building a trust relationship between local producers and urban consumers. Therefore, there are created consumers groups at the community level, that wish to purchase products made by small farmers, with whom they sign a contract for the period of an agricultural season and to whom they make an advance payment in order to support the production costs.
