Moldovian Plateau food system.

Despite the trend towards farm centralisation and upscaling, many small (family) husbandries remain active on the Moldovian plateau, where SMFs have cattle grazing on small portions of pastures belonging to them or the local administration. These small husbandries are facing climatic/environmental pressure (drought, soil degradation), as well as socio-economic pressure (competition in EU context, ageing population). Innovation and technology is almost neglected due to a lack of awareness and professional networks.
