OVERVIEW ON THE FINANCING OF THE EU AGRICULTURE

The agriculture financing has a major role in surpassing the ongoing challenges from agriculture, as well as others which might impact other sectors, such as households, energy, and environment. The financial risks are joining the natural ones in agriculture, maybe with greater impact, making the agricultural priorities more EU financed as other sectors due also to food security and safety requirements. The aim of this research is to overview the key words proposed by the scientific literature in the field of agriculture financing by quantitatively analyzing the Scopus publications at EU level, in general, and at Romanian level, in particular during 1960 and 2016. The results indicate increases in the scientific production on agriculture financing both at EU level and at Romanian level. Also, the word association maps, illustrated with the KH Coder software, suggest that the most frequent terms are usually agriculture, farmer, policy, use, cost while their relation with other terms differ. The overview of the scientific research over time can bring information about certain subjects on agriculture financing both for policymakers and scientists who might use it for further studies and policies.
