Utjecaj mjera povećanja poljoprivredne konkurentnosti na ruralni razvoj

Ideja ruralnog razvoja spominje se u svijetu po završetku 2. svjetskog rata, a u Europi se počinje realizirati kroz Zajedničku poljoprivrednu politiku Europske zajednice. Evolucija programa ZPP-a kroz drugu polovicu prošlog stoljeća dovela je do pojave Programa ruralnog razvoja 2014 – 2020. Hrvatska je kao punopravna članica Europske Unije prihvatila 16 od 20 navedenih mjera. U javnosti je najviše rasprave izazvala mjera 4 koja se odnosi na ulaganju u fizičku imovinu. Mjere za poticanje ekološke proizvodnje te obnavljanje teže pristupačnih područja su IAKS mjere čija je uloga nadoknada sredstava izgubljenih u svrhu očuvanja okoliša. Sudionici provedbe Programa ruralnog razvoja su državna uprava koja se sastoji od Ministarstva poljoprivrede, savjetodavne službe i regionalne samouprave, zatim nezavisne konzultantske tvrtke te poljoprivrednici kao krajnji korisnici. Zajedno, oni predstavljaju osnovu za ruralni razvoj Hrvatske i povećanje konkurentnosti poljoprivredne proizvodnje.Idea of rural development is mentioned in world at the end of World War II, and in Europe is starting to implement through Common agricultural policy of European community.
