Agriculture is considered to be the most important activity related to feeding the population, as farms are established that produce food products mainly from animal and plant species. Given the importance of agriculture in the past, interest in this type of work has declined, particularly among young people. This decline in interest is at the root of the problem and the European Union is working hard to change this for the benefit of humanity and its future. EU’s Common Agricultural Policy enables all EU members, including the Republic of Croatia, which joined the European Union less than ten years ago, to have the same laws and regulations. Unlike other member states, the Republic of Croatia has favourable agricultural production conditions, but it must keep pace with the European Union in order to reduce the number of imported products and increase the number of domestic products on supermarket shelves. It is also critical to foster competition in order to encourage higher-quality products and provide consumers with a wider range of domestic options.
