Forms of Organization in the Farming of Western European Countries
Vlado Puljiz
Sažetak
The author based this concise review
of Western European agriculture on
FAO publications concerning organizational
forms in European farming, and
on a survey of current literature.
The dynamic Western European industry
is constantly making demands on
farming to adapt to the laws of the
industrial economy. This adaption
usually shows itself as a decrease of
the number of farmers, an increase of
work productivity, an increase of the
average size of the family farm, the
development of new forms of organization
in farming.
As most of these forms of adaption
have almost reached their limit (especially
in some countries of Western
Europe), the author analyzes possibilities
for the development of new organizational
forms which would help
farming keep abreast of the development
of other branches of the economy.
Three basic forms of organization
exist in Western European farming:
traditional independent farms, contract
farms and farming associations- After
discussing the characteristics of certain
forms of organization and presenting
the dilemmas of some governments
concerning farming policy, the
author concludes that the main obstacle
to fundamental changes is the
inertia of private-ownership relations.
In his opinion greater progress could
only be brought about by coordinated
action in different domains (economic,
technological, social).
