Sažetak
The Republic of Croatia has numerous regional diversity both in natural resources and in the social-economic development assumptions. Dynamic changes in the economy have been initiated by globalization, which effects on strengthening competitive pressure in free market conditions. In such circumstances, from a regional point of view, there is a great challenge for local communities to preserve the regional identity in the historical, traditional, cultural and social values. Local communities - cities, villages, unfavorable inhabited places that have not found and realized opportunities for sustainable development are the conditions of uncertainty, uncertainties and potential loss of their own regional identity. Thus being said, their survival in the economic and territorial environment is questionable. Analysis results of previous researches have shown that local communities have the biggest contribution to regional development. They have an important role in preserving the value of local recognition on which it is possible to build a long-term regional development. Strengths and comparative advantages of the region can be found in indigenous products of food that are the basis for a strong position, based on the originality of the product. After identifying the type of local regional products, it is important to encourage the primary production, manufacturing, and to connect it all through gastronomic offer. Local communities that are identifying and developing indigenous products will be separated from the others and thus will affect their own economic development. The production of indigenous products requires an adaptation of the current farm management for the purpose of newer/old product. This paper can be valued as a form of identification of the regional indigenous products, which contribute to the development of local communities, and as a review, and explanation of necessary changes in farm management.
