Mirosul de la marginea orașului are un nume: agricultură ecologică. Și un calendar

The recurring unpleasant smell in cities like Brașov and Cluj is primarily due to organic fertilization in surrounding agricultural areas. This practice, while legally compliant and encouraged by EU regulations, coincides with specific seasonal periods, leading to concentrated complaints from residents. As Romanian agriculture shifts towards organic methods due to cost, regulatory pressures, and market demand, the frequency of these odors is expected to increase. However, not all unpleasant smells are agricultural; some originate from waste management issues. Residents moving to peri-urban areas must understand the agricultural context and potential odors before purchasing property.
