Randomized trial assesses agricultural changes in Romania, highlighting risks and opportunities for sustainability.

This study aims to evaluate the substantial transformations in Romanian agricultural landscapes between 2000 and 2024.
Utilized 24 indicators to assess land use, crop structure, productivity, and socio-economic characteristics.
Employed paired-sample t-tests, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and cluster analysis to analyze agricultural transformation patterns.
Examined temporal and spatial patterns across Romanian counties.
Identified significant increases in arable land and mechanization alongside declining agricultural employment.
Revealed nine distinct agricultural typologies illustrating increased spatial polarization between regions.
Showed stronger specialization and technological intensification in agricultural systems from 2000 to 2024.

Emilia Herman (2026) studied this question.
