Abstract

Obiteljska poljoprivredna gospodarstva kao osnovna organizacijskogospodarska jedinica poljoprivrede u Republici Hrvatskoj mogu biti pokretači razvoja nekog prostora. No, kako bi gospodarstvo bilo konkurentno na tržištu ono se mora istaknuti svojim osobinama. Nositelj gospodarstva mora biti poduzetna, sposobna i obrazovana osoba koja je spremna pratiti korak s novim tehnologijama i promjenama u poljoprivredi. Cilj ovog rada je istražiti karakteristike varaždinske poljoprivrede i vidjeti koliki utjecaj imaju OPG-ovi u Varaždinskoj županiji na njen ruralni razvoj. Za potrebe rada, provedena je detaljna statistička analiza OPG-ova i 29 strukturiranih intervjua s tri skupine OPG-ova (OPG-ovi koji se bave konvencionalnim uzgojem, OPG-ovi uključeni u ekološku poljoprivredu i agroturizmi). Analizom intervjua i statističkih podataka dobiven je uvid u određene nedostatke, ali i prednosti varaždinskih OPG-ova. Na temelju istraživanja izneseni su zaključci koji se odnose na strukturu OPG-ova u Varaždinskoj županiji, suradnju varaždinskih OPG-ova s drugim akterima, ovisnost poljoprivrednika o potporama i budućnost varaždinskih OPG-ova.

Abstract (english)

Family farms as the basic organizational unit of agriculture in Croatia can be the drivers of development of an area. But in order for family farms to be competitive on the market, they must stand out. The holder of the farm must be a capable, enterprising, and educated person who is ready to keep pace with new technologies and changes in agriculture. The aim of this paper is to explore the main characteristics of agriculture in Varaždin County and the impact of family farms on the rural development therein. For the purposes of this paper a detailed statistical analysis of family farms in Croatia and in Varaždin County was conducted, as well as 29 structured interviews with three groups of family farms (family farms engaged in conventional farming, organic farming, and agritourism). Analysis of interviews and statistical data provided insight into some of the advantages and disadvantages of family farming in Varaždin County. Based on the research, conclusions were presented regarding the structure of family farms in Varaždin County, cooperation of family farms with other actors, farmers' dependence on subsidies, and the future of family farms in Varaždin County.
