Land Consolidation and its Contribution to the Increase of Food Production
Drago Bebek
Roko Škergo
Abstract
The discrepancy between food
production and population increase
has, among other things, caused
the world’s food crisis. For
example, only in the last ten years
the food reserves have diminished
almost three times. Therefore, one
can easily say that the world of
today is living on the verge of
hunger.
In order to solve the food crisis, it
is primarily necessary that the
agricultural production should be
increased above the rate of growth
of the world's population (approx.
2 percent per year). The basical
way of increasing the agricultural
production is by increasing the
area of cultivated land and by
increasing its yields.
Land consolidation is one of the
major measures, which enables the
realization of these goals. When
land redistribution, as an agrarian
and legal instrument, has been
carried out, the result of it is the
grouping of land, which is the
condition for its up-to-date
cultivation and modern agricultural
production. In this way the
cultivated areas are increased and
the yieldings are much higher.
