Sažetak
Agriculture worldwide in future period will face with a number of major challenges: rapid population growth, climate change, an increasing demand for energy, resource shortages, accelerated urbanisation, dietary changes, ageing populations in rural areas in developed countries, increased competition on world markets, and lack of access to credit developing countries. Agriculture in the European Union is characterised by the gradually declining of the area of land available for agriculture due to increased forestry, biogas production and urbanisation. Furthermore, it is characterised by a long-term decline in the number of holdings with a corresponding increase in the area per holding. Currently, European Union is self-sufficient in cereals, total meat production and milk and dairy products. Forecasts indicate similar situation in future (till year 2023). EU is acting in accordance to Common Agricultural Policy – CAP that applies for all member states and amounts more than 40% of the EU budget. CAP addresses economic, environmental (climate change) and territorial challenges. Recent political movements (election of Donald Trump, Britain’s Brexit, and elections in France, Germany, Netherland, Austria, and movements toward nationalistic policies in China) clearly indicate that idea of globalization becomes questionable. How will that reflect to global and European agricultural market is questionable and highly unpredictable. Also, the question is how Croatian society/state will be affected. Since Croatian food security is highly dependent of agricultural products import, every major change in global and European political situation and markets will highly affect Croatia.
