Abstract

The authors in this article are considering options of introducing ecological agriculture at the region of delta of Neretva. Starting from natural and geographical characteristics (geological basis, hydrological circumstances and climatic and microclimatic characteristics) and analysing socially–economic basis and existing social structure of area, the authors are supposing that at the area of delta of Neretva, there are positive geographic predisposition for introducing organic–ecological agriculture.
Changed economic circumstances (decay of great Agricultural–Industrial Businesses (PIK), the lease of state land) and impulses aiming at protection of environment and manufacture of “healthy” food, are the assumptions that can provide this introducing of new way of agricultural management. This especially refers to fruit growing, vegetable growing as well as the use of ecological crop rotation. In the initial phase, the experimental cultivation on smaller plots is possible.
