This article presents the most relevant elements to be taken into account, if the\ndimensions of the present and future food security in Romania are to be analyzed, from\ncomparative perspective with European level.

Why and in what manner this situation could be\nchanged soon, it is shown in the following text.\nThe article uses various sources of documentation and publications of the United Nations\nOrganizations, European Council, Eurostat, INS Romania, The Institute for Researching\nQuality of Life from Bucharest, some other Romanian Academy researching institutes and\nothers.
