The Initiatives of ASTRA Meant to Improve the Lives of the Romanian Peasants in Transylvania (1900–1914)

Summary/Abstract: This study shows how ASTRA intended to support the economic development of the Romanians in Transylvania. Realizing that the vast majority of them lived in villages, the most important actions were undertaken in the field of agriculture. Efforts were focused on two levels, one concerning the theorization of new agricultural techniques, the introduction and implementation of a cooperative system and of machinery, and a practical one, involving the organization of conferences for the dissemination of such information, practical demonstrations, and the development of a distinct cooperative system.
