WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ELEMENTS FOR FOOD SECURITY, IN THE CURRENT GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT OF ROMANIA 2022

Summary/Abstract: A state has national security when it ensures the security and food safety of its citizens. Agriculture, with its sub-branches: plant and animal breeding, agricultural products processing industry, producer-to-consumer distribution networks, can be one of the basic sources for the development of national potential. In Romania there is a high degree of dependence and vulnerability regarding climatic conditions and water resources. From a hydrological point of view, on the territory of our country, we find an uneven distribution of the water resources necessary for the population, industry and agriculture. The food security of a state - from our perspective, of Romania - can only be ensured by using all natural resources managed judiciously and with maximum efficiency. The elements that influence food security in the 21st century, in general, are: global warming, desertification, land degradation, climate changes with increasingly accepted dry periods: to these are added elements specific to the years 2021 and 2022, such as: the liberalization of prices at energy, the COVID-19 health crisis and the war waged by Russia in Ukraine.
