Sažetak
In this paper, I want to consider the possibility of whether radical right wing political actors might usurp current burgeoning interests in ecological food production in Croatia. Based on ethnographic fieldwork I have undertaken on milk production in Croatia, in recent times there has been a surge of consumer interest in food that is produced by small scale farmers, who use traditional farming techniques, autochthonous seed varieties, as well as little or no chemical pesticides and fertilizers. As other authors have noted, who have also researched food production in post-socialist states (Aistara 2015 ; Jung 2014), consumers are extremely wary of industrial food production because they don’t trust state organised labelling and food safety systems. Consumer’s worry that these systems have been corrupted by political interests, which is why they want to source food directly from the farmers themselves.
