Sažetak
Today mountain regions are one of the few regions that have preserved their ecosystems, especially abundant flora and fauna and a specific local rural cultural tradition. Mountain regions are situated on economic and social developmental margins resulting in continuous emigration, depopulation and economic crisis. Despite of numerous possibilities for development, these regions were classified as undeveloped regions which are barely surviving and depending on social welfare and government help. Today mountain rural regions are confronted with sudden and rapid changes of their natural environment, economy and society. Although there are numerous possibilities of progress in synergy of agriculture, tourism and small family businesses and industry, the basic problems are insufficient motivation as well as absence of planning. The existence of mountain regions depends upon attractive possibilities which are acceptable for younger population. In order for young population to remain in mountain rural regions new jobs need to be opened. Also the existing infrastructure needs to be reconstructed. Opening of new jobs is just one step towards prosperity for mountain rural regions. Also numerous social and cultural activities need to be introduced. Organic livestock management practices offer a range of possibilities to young farmers. There are a number of considerations that need to be addresses to successfully produce certified organic livestock and products in the mountain areas . Triplex of activities: nature, sustainable tourism and organic livestock is one the possible future scenarios for rural mountain regions.
