CONCEPT OF TOURISM AGRICULTURE ON THE PRINCIPLES OFPERMACULTURE

Turistička poljoprivredna gospodarstva koja gospodare po načelima permakulture izrazito su zanimljiva i jedinstvena u turističkoj ponudi, ali nažalost u Hrvatskoj jedva da i postoje makar za njih postoji potražnja. Cilj rada je istražiti i promotriti aktualno stanje tržišta turističke potražnje o permakulturi kao posebnom iskustvu u ponudi turističkih seoskih gospodarstava. Znatan je interes ljudi za ekološku poljoprivredu, ekološku prehranu,ekoturizam zbog manjka zdravih namirnica i nezdravog načina života, te se u ljudima budi svijest očuvanja okoliša za buduće naraštaje. Većina ljudi ima izraženu svijest o potrebi očuvanja prirode i općenito ekologiji, reciklaži i održivom razvoju, te pridaju veliku važnost da im u prehrani budu zastupljene zdrave, ekološko uzgojene namirnice po načelima održive poljoprivrede. Sve navedeno turistička seoska gospodarstva mogu iskoristiti u svoju korist povezivanjem navedenih interesa u turističku ponudu svog gospodarstva. Turističko seosko gospodarstvo koje se bazira na načelima permakulture moglo bi pružati zanimljive usluge kaošto su: smještaj gostiju u kućama napravljenim po principima održive gradnje, sudjelovanje turista u radionicama održive gradnje (gradnja objekta); ponuda proizvoda iz ekovrta,sudjelovanje turista tijekom sadnje namirnica u ekovrtovima, ponuda hrane uzgojene naodrživ način, organizacija edukativnih radionica o očuvanju okoliša, zelenoj gradnji,organizacija 72 satnih tečaja o permakulturi i sl. Razvojem ovog oblika gospodarstva potaknuo bi se sklad prirode i čovjeka.Tourist agriculture farms managed according to the principles of permaculture are extremely interesting and unique within the tourist offer, but unfortunately, they hardly exist in Croatia even though there is a demand for them. The aim is to explore and observe the current state of the market of tourist demand of permaculture as a special experience in the offer of tourist farms. Due to the lack of healthy foods and unhealthy lifestyles, there is a significant interest in ecological foods, ecotourism among people. Most people are aware of the need to preserve the nature and ecology, recycling and sustainable development, in general, they also give great importance to healthy, organically foods grown on the principles of sustainable agriculture to be represented in their diet. Tourist farms can use all of this to their advantage by linking the mentioned interests into the tourist offer of their economy. Tourist farm, which is based on the principles of permaculture could provide interesting services such as: guest accommodation in houses made according to the principles of sustainable development, the participation of tourists in workshops of sustainable construction (construction of the facility); offering the products from eco-gardens, tourist's participation in growing food in eco-gardens, offering the food grown in a sustainable way, the organization of workshops on environmental protection,green building..., the organization of a 72-hour course, and the like. The development of this type of economy would encourage the harmony of nature and men
