A social perspective on soil functions and quality improvement: Romanian farmers' perceptions
Original language description
Agriculture is a key player in the conservation of natural resources and cultural landscapes and one of the most prominent interfaces between human activity and soil.

Therefore, it is indispensable to look at farmers when approaching soil functions. The objective of this study was twofold.
