In order to achieve balanced territorial development, needs for the various programs of lifelong education for rural development are increasing. This paper presents the activities of lifelong education, formal and informal, of the Department for Agroeconomics on Faculty of Agriculture in Osijek, focused on faster implementation of development programs, as well as evaluating users’ needs for systematic implementation of such programs.
