ABSTRACT: The agricultural holdings generate a very strong impact on the environment and
they also have numerous implications for the economic and social life of rural areas. The
improvements of the agricultural holdings’ economic, ecological and social effects are the
main directions which can contribute to initiating or intensifying their sustainability. This
paper highlights some possibilities to optimize the use of agricultural resources allocated to a
sustainable development, with a special attention for the elements of the natural capital. The
presented models can substantiate the agro-technical decisions within the framework of eco-
efficiency actions aimed to achieve sustainability at the farming microeconomic level.

Keywords: agricultural holdings, natural resources, allocation models, sustainable development
