18. CONCLUSION • The own sustainable development sense (as opposed to predatory), is the support for realizing the formation and professional up-dating process while changing instruments ; • Development of a production model that takes into consideration regional characteristics (climate, soil, terrain and others), cope for reversing traditional development approach; • strategy that involves considering the relation between social goods production and biodiversity conservation, enhancing population life quality;

19. CONCLUSION • Low productivity and waste at national agricultural seems to portray a lack of a better development on the agriculture and industry relation - new knowledge and technology; • realization of joint projects with public organizations, governmental entities and institutions as well as non-governmental ones - PARTNERSHIPS
