The present paper intends to design a strategy for the sustainable development of the Romanian agriculture and rural area, to identify the main modalities to reach the strategic objectives for the years 2013, 2020 and 2030. Romania needs a multifunctional and competitive agriculture, which is also complementary to the agriculture of the other European Union countries. Main decisions have to be taken with regard to the support to the different agricultural systems under competition, among which the most important are the following: food production versus biofuel production, conventional agriculture versus biotechnological agriculture, intensive agriculture on family holdings versus agriculture on very large-sized farms. It is very important for the Romanian agriculture to determine the equilibrium point for each above-mentioned case, the optimum level that transforms competition into internal and external complementariness. The strategies that have been designed so far generally envisaged all these economic and social desiderata, while trying to impose a new rural area development philosophy, based upon the sustainable rural development concept, which presupposes a harmonious blending between the agriculture (and forestry) economy component and the non-agricultural rural economy component, based upon the following principles: harmony between the rural economy and the environment, rural area naturalization by preserving the natural environment, the use of natural local resources, mainly renewable resources, diversification of agricultural economy structure through pluriactivity, through the extension and diversification of agri-food economy, of non-agricultural economy and of rural services.
