摘要：This paper analyses the extent to which aspects contributing to sustainable development are
integrated at family farms level. The present research aims to inventory the state of family farms from
the Nord Vest development region1
from Romania, to see how they can contribute to the sustainable
development of the area. Another objective is to investigate the availability of the family farm to
develop and to identify the variables that can influence this desire, given its role in the existence of
the Romanian village. As it was noted from the literature review, family farms have different
characteristics from one country to another and even from one area to another, thus requiring
different approaches. The characteristics revealed at the level of family farms from the Nord Vest
Region outline a low economic viability, which indicates a low probability of economic development
in the absence of coherent policies to support them directly.
