Use of databases in agricultural fields

Abstract

The present paper presents our activity within the project, which was to build, operate and secure the database information concerning the agro-industrial wastes produced in the cross-border area of Romania. The database was conceived according to standard procedures [1, 2, 3]. Once the database completed we will continue to add and manage new data and to backup all the registered data. We made all the diligence searched to complete the database with new information. We tried to identify as many as possible local producers of natural juices, canned vegetables, wine and beer producers. We asked and obtained from any new identified producer the data needed for the database in order to provide relevant results. We have to mention that the acquisition of data implied a lot of work due to poor willingness to communicate, in general and to provide accurate data, especially from the companies concerned. We had to ensure that they understand what we intend to do with their data in order to obtain them. We managed this project being strongly convinced of the importance of relevant databases in current agriculture and in correct waste management.
