Agriculture in the town of Recas, Timis County

Abstract

The solution to the food crisis that affects the entire world nowadays depends directly and decisively
on increasing the agricultural yield, through rational use of the productive resources and technical and social
modernization of agriculture, since agriculture is the main branch of world food economy. That is why the
effort of all countries must be focused on increasing the availability of food worldwide.
Agriculture has been the main - maybe still the only - food source for mankind; the number of people has
been continually increasing and this poses a problem especially now, with the population explosion taking
place in poor countries. These two major events make it not only necessary but also urgent for all nations to
combine their efforts towards finding ways to accelerate the development of agriculture, in order to regulate
the great discrepancies in food consumption and to ensure fair living conditions for all inhabitants of the
earth.
These risks can be reduced or even eliminated only by putting technologies into practice correctly, with the
help and under the supervision of agronomists, animal husbandry specialists, veterinarians, chemists and
biologists.
We, Romanians, are still strongly tied by our origins, culture and mentalities to rural civilization, which may
seem to be an impediment in our way to progress and modernization. Nevertheless, we will not solve the
problems of modernization by cutting ourselves off from the village, but instead by integrating the villagers
in this process which is by no means easy, but certainly long-lasting.
