The subject of innovative social policies is an important one in the field of agriculture for the researchers and practitioners nowadays. As expected, Romania has a lot of potential for improving agriculture and increasing its performance and efficiency, the decreased tendency of agricultural professionals having its roots in several causes. The lack of interest in this field was fostered mainly by the lack of financing and state subsidies, while one of the most important obstacles is represented by the lack of an “umbrella” institution to optimally define and manage this strategic change. The sustainable management system behind such an institution should provide means for regulating and facilitating the development of agriculture in Romania and lead it to the achievement of a much more territorial unity for the people owning farms, cooperatives, family local institutions or other forms of collaboration. Having this strategic goal in view, the current paper will describe, as an element of novelty, the appropriate relationship between a company which accesses and implements a project with European funding and the specific associated risks. The aim of the paper is to describe such risks and to derive the tools and instruments for controlling them. The innovative part is completed by the addition of one decisive variable, the managerial risk. Therefore, this paper designs the implication of such an important variable in a model, using the multi-criteria decision-making methodologies, respectively the Analytic Network Processes (ANP).
