People began collecting wild plant fruits and hunting from the 15th to 9th centuries before Christ, which are the first signs of agriculture. Agricultural production can now be classified into four forms of agriculture, which are traditional agriculture, conventional, integrated and ecological. Ecological agriculture is gaining an increasing importance. The basic tasks of agriculture are to feed the domestic population, to supply the industry with raw materials of agricultural origin, and to realize the greatest value of export of agricultural products. Branches of agricultural production are field crops, grassland, fruit growing, viticulture and livestock breeding. Agriculture is a part of the gross domestic product with a large share, but this share decreases year-on-year, as does the number of population in rural areas. By joining the European Union, the Republic of Croatia has been given the opportunity to participate in the common market with other members, as well as the possibility of modernizing agricultural production through funds. The prices of agricultural products are based on supply and demand and are not predetermined in the Republic of Croatia. The model of Croatian agriculture is based on some developed European countries. It is worrying that the Republic of Croatia is a rare member of the European Union that has reduced the value of agricultural production over the past ten years. Farming should cease to look like an activity that everyone can deal with. Small producers disappear, and the village disappears with them.
