- Inhabitants/km²: 5 inhabitants/km2
- Share of agricultural area: approximately 57,83%
Mostly intensive agriculture in 4 of the 6 counties (dominated by hills, plateaus and plains) and extensive agriculture in 2 of the 6 counties (where mountainous areas are predominant). Small farms represent the majority of agricultural entities in the case study region: below 2 ha – 76.6% (~568 000), between 2-10 ha – 21.9% (~163 000), between 10-13 ha – 1% (~7 500), and 30 ha and above – 0.5% (~3 600). Small farms are mostly utilized for subsistence agriculture in rural areas where income per capita is low.
The Dorna Valley surpasses other areas of the North-East Region of Romania with regard to the availability of public goods. Many of the farms in this region conduct their activities using traditional, extensive practices. Thus, the main agricultural activities in the region are focused on livestock, primarily cattle, but also sheep.
