Former President of the United Nations, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Kofi Annan, has called for environmental protection and intelligent use of agricultural resources. It is imperative to find solutions that will help to feed the growing population of the globe. The fact that Terra will be occupied by 10 billion in the next period convinced the planet's strategists to participate in the Agriculture Forum in Brussels where the new proposed solutions for the smart development of agriculture and eco environment were tackled. Romania is a country predominantly rural, 60% of the country's territory being classified as rural. A large part of the country's population lives in rural areas, 47% of the population living in rural areas since 2008, much higher than the EU average of 15%. Rural areas in Romania occupy approximately 14.7 million hectares of agricultural land and cover more than four millions of farms. The purpose of the article is to present the current situation of some arable land located in the Romanian Plain, which could contribute to the increase of productivity by implementing intelligent agricultural strategies.
