ABSTRACT:
The author is presenting a few of the problems that the sheep breeders are confronting with in Romania, suggesting a new approach for developing this agricultural sector, that would focus on its advantages. Such advantages concern the environment (low carbon footprint, increased carbon sequestration capacity, conservation of plant species and breeds), but also the social dimension of the occupation (e.g.: population of the mountain villages, the important contribution to circular economy).
