This paper is part of growing volume of valuable empirical work on agriculture in transition countries and especially on the topic of the rural non-farm economy and livelihood diversification among the poor. The focus of this paper is on rural non-farm livelihoods in Romania. The main aim of this paper is to improve understanding of the dynamics of the RNFE in providing employment and income diversification opportunities in Romania.
