A new social context — a new attitude to agriculture and the environment
Ivan Cifrić
Sažetak
This article is the author’s critical survey
of earlier attitudes towards the
environment. Agriculture was regarded
simply as the means of social
development, and the environment treated
as an object. The author considers it
necessary to redefine the social goals of
development and relation towards the
environment, which is a primary relation.
It serves to define developmental goals
and thus also to define the strategy of
agricultural development. It must respect
the entirety of the rural area, not only
agriculture as a production activity.
The meaning of agriculture is greater
than purely economic. It is a culture in
itself. An agrarian society is both an
agrarian culture and an ecological type,
and it differs from the industrial society,
culture and ecological type that is based
on the production model.
Under new conditions of development in
Croatia, the agricultural development
strategy must bear in mind the fact of
war destruction and devastation, a
different position for rural areas and
agriculture in the economy as a whole,
and the use of international criteria of
environmental protection. A system of
ecological education will guarantee the
efficiency of this strategy.
