‘Mountain Product’, of High- biological Quality. Meadows’ Poliflora, Organic Fertilizer and a Sustainable Mountain Economy

In the mountains of Romania there are about.2.2 million hectares of natural grasslands and hayfields with a valuable polyphloral structure - a result of centuries-old cooperation of Man and Nature, with the help of ruminant animals, through organic fertilizers. These are indispensable key factors that ensure permanent living in mountain areas for more than 800,000 families of traditional farmers, animal breeders who obtain high quality protein organic food for about four million people, with a growth potential of about 50%.Organic fertilizers improve poor and acid mountain soils, by organic substance and alkalinity, with minimum costs and the economic effect of maintaining the floral structure and the valuable biodiversity.In 7-8 years of interrupting this process, the natural flora starts to “turn wild” again, by being invaded by worthless plants. At the level of family farms an important resource of biological nitrogen is wasted and it also becomes harmful factor for animals, humans and the environment - Purina. Good management of organic fertilizer and hays – turns into economic resource and factor for guaranteeing the high quality of agri-food “mountain products”, obtained in the absence of chemicals and in a clean environment. Separation of these guaranteed “niche” products, better prices from selling them on the organic products market in associative-cooperative system, are objectives and a solution able to produce significant economic, social and cultural positive effects and to ensure the preservation of functional biodiversity, based on renewable and sustainable resources.
