Sažetak
Previous organisation and activity of the agricultural extension service has rather been the result of the dogmatic approach of the State towards the village and agriculture than of farmers' need for expert advice and information. In contemplating the new organisation of the Agricultural Consultancy Extension Service, a realistic evaluation is required of the current status of agriculture, future avenues and the speed with which changes will be introduced. Based on this, and using the experience and functioning of the extension services in developed countries in Europe and the rest of the world, the basic postulations for organisation and work of the Agricultural Consultancy Service of Croatia are set. Since Croatia gained independence and set the new political and socio-economic system in 1991, the Agricultural Consultancy Service has been founded and reorganisation is on course. In the process of concentration of agricultural production, the role of the Agricultural Consultancy service is important with regard to better functioning and development.The Agricultural Consultancy Service requirements are increased knowledge and greater manpower costs, while increased management complexity, specialisation and concentration are characteristics of the production system. Meetings, lectures, practical demonstrations of technology, mass media and introduction of computer technology are important aids which should be further developed as well as bigger financial aid for these purposes. These depend on a better future economic position for agriculture and the economy as a whole.
