Explores the implications for the agricultural and food sectors for Central and Eastern European countries in the light of transition and European Union integration, with primary focus on the environmental and socio-economic dimensions of agricultural development.

This book looks at agriculture and the environment, placed within the dynamic context of post-communist societal change and entry into the European Union (EU). S. Serban Scrieciu explores developments in eleven Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries and argues for agriculture's natural place in these societies.
