摘要：The aim of this study is to apply and develop the analysis of cropland ecological footprint of the population to demonstrate that the knowledge of it can help to draw a sustainable development strategy, of the administrative units. The study tries to shape the population pressure in situ or remote, by calculating the cropland ecological imprint, just to analyze the interaction between natural capital values and population demands, taking as case studies several small towns, around the largest urban centre of Romania, Bucharest, which were its food pools for a long time. The results obtained show that the population increased due to the development of real estate projects, while production remained constant, fact which creates heavy pressure on the environment. The land biocapacity capitalizes the power of an area in comparison with the cropland imprint of population and helps the sustainability of actions at the local level. At the same time, by adding other indicators it can configure the consumer's features and thus it can build the local capacity for self sustaining, avoiding the trend of agglutination to the urban metropolitan model
