We are interested in analyzing the structure and the fonctioning of the agricultural exploitations from this area, and also in identifying which are the main assets of this rural zone and how the local resources can be more efficiently managed, in order to reinforce the position of Mărginimea Sibiului in the economy of Sibiu County.
