Sažetak
The paper analyzes socio-economic processes in the family farming
of Dalmatia. It has been determined that the number of
family farms and agricultural population are decreasing, which has
also been the case with the number of total population over the
last ten years. The second part of the paper points out the processes
that occurred in family farming, based on results of a descriptive
research carried out during the period from 1971 to
1992, covering the following: activities of farm members, land
capacities and ownership structure, land use structure, farm
equipment, live-stock, sales market, and the significance of profit
made from farming. The landed property is on the decrease,
while uncultivated soil is increasing. Principal crops are being
abandoned, with diverse production directed to farm needs
prevailing. A fraction of farms have turned to a larger-scale
specialized production for market purposes. Mechanization of
farms is on the increase, particularly with low-powered tractors.
The income from farming is significant in the majority of farms,
although their working resources are designated to business
opportunities outside the farms. The final section of the paper
deals with what the future might bring forth, which can only aid
the development of agriculture in Dalmatia through its expertise
and orientation.
