Introduction
Romania is bordered on the east by the Black Sea and the Danube in the south. A country of nearly 20 million people it now has more than 50% of the population living in Urban areas. There are still lots of beautiful areas in the countryside from low lying plains to villages tucked into the Carpathian Mountains.

Definition
"An establishment is considered rural if the majority of the work force is focused on agriculture, forestry and/or fishing, offers a specific and sustainable lifestyle for its inhabitants. The rural administrative environment is made up by communes. Communes are administrative-territorial units which includes the rural population united in common interests and traditions and are composed by more villages. A village is a small establishment not having more than 1000 inhabitants." '''Rowe, J. (2012) Matters of perspective: tracing Romania's Agricultural Challenges (Bachelor of Arts).
