Abstract
In the period between the two world wars, agriculture was one of the basic economic branches for the population of the Šibenik region. People produced food mostly for their own needs. Viticulture, viniculture and farming were the most developed in this area. Urban and partly out-of-town agriculture relied on growing vegetable and decorative cultures. Their promotion and development were mostly based on agricultural education and exhibitions, as well as on the related branches of fruit growing and plant production. Local authorities supported the agricultural education of population in diverse ways. By using and analysing archival data and scientific literature, a contribution is given to knowing and developing the agrarian education of the Šibenik region in the period 1920–1939.
