Characteristics and importance of agriculture in the Croatian economy

Ekološka poljoprivreda dio je suvremene i poljoprivredne proizvodnje koja se temelji na dostignućima i novim spoznajama agronomske znanosti. Radi se o obliku poljoprivrede koji stavlja naglasak na sveukupno održivo gospodarenje kojim je moguće postići proizvodnju izostavljanjem agrokemikalija. Mnogo čimbenika određuje kakvoću poljoprivrednih proizvoda. Najvažniji su: tip tla, klimatske promjene, osobine sorte, isključivanje agrokemikalija i drugo. Radi značajne ljepote okoliša i očuvanih prirodnih resursa Hrvatska ima izniman potencijal u razvoju ekološke poljoprivrede. Modernizirani način koji se bavi uzgojem i proizvodnjom genetski modificirane hrane čini glavnu prekretnicu u razvoju ekološke poljoprivrede. Posljedice uporabe genetskog inženjeringa sve su šire te Hrvatska nadzire i kontrolira uvoz GMO hrane. Spoznajom o štetnosti GMO-a za biološku raznolikost i ljudsko zdravlje sve hrvatske županije zabranile su upotrebu sjemena iz GMO-a.Ecological agriculture is a part of modern and agricultural production based on the achievements and new knowledge of agronomic science. It is a form of agriculture that emphasizes overall sustainable management that can achieve production by omitting agrochemicals. The quality of agricultural products is determined by many factors. The most important are: soil type, climatic conditions, charachteristics of varieties or breed, exclusion of agrochemicals and others. Due to significant environmental beauty and preserved natural resources, Croatia has exceptional potential in the development of ecological agriculture. The modernized way of cultivating and producing genetically modified food is a major milestone in the development of organic farming. The consequences of using genetic engineering are widespread and Croatia controls the import of GMO foods. With the knowledge of the harmfulness of GMOs to biodiversity and human health, all Croatian counties have banned the use of GMO seeds
