description The fundamental problem, and at the same time, the great challenge of Romanian agrarian policy, as well as related sciences, is the chronic poverty of peasants, agricultural land owners. This issue suggests that the land, as an essential element of ownership, paradoxically, no longer creates welfare for the peasants. Hence, is only natural to ask: What does the peasant still wants or expects from the land? or Why is the peasant still attached to the land? Most researchers of Agricultural Economics would respond to these questions quantifying and analyzing the results of household production. Their approach is not wrong, yet not suffcient. After all, they study the visible part of the iceberg. A complete or nearly complete answer requires deeper inquiries, with reference to other areas of knowledge than the economic one, such as sociology, psychology, culture, history, morality, religion.
