Sažetak
After becoming self-standing state one of new needs of Croatia important for agronomic profession, farmers, policy makers and public needs was regionalization of agriculture. It is the analyse of state of agroecological conditions in agrosphere and based on results to define and territorially separate agricultural regions as parts of agrosphere with similar conditions for plant and animal growing and similar farming systems. On this track within a special project we finished an inventory of agrosphere, result of which is Regionalisation of Croatian Agriculture presented in this paper. Following upper wise message of old Chinese proverb, the starting approach is the MFCAL concept (Multifunctional Character of Agriculture and Land), which means that apart from very important and primary economic, agriculture and agricultural land (soil) in human life play other roles (functions) of similar importance ; environmental, social, cultural and spatial, as well as the role of shaping the cultural landscape as a factor of rural development. As well, we respect the point of view prevailing in EU that all natural resources used in agriculture but at the first place soil as a major one, needs sustainable use and efficient protection. Using the data on Land resource potential based primarily on data of General Soil Map of Croatia (GSM) in a scale of 1:50 000 and our research, we define three agricultural regions ; Pannonian with four, Mountain with two and Adriatic one with three subregions.
