Poljoprivredno zemljište Varaždinske županije – teret ili resurs?
Agricultural land of Varaždin county – burden or resource?

Summary/Abstract: State-owned agricultural land is still indeed an important, but to a large extent an unused resource. However, private property management is the key for revival and long-term development of the production capacities of Croatian rural areas. The state has until now proved to be a bad manager of the land in its own property. Even worse situation occurs in definition and implementation of the policies and measures aimedat introducing a more efficient ownership structure and the use of privately owned land. It is necessary to remove the causes of unfavourable structure of the agricultural land used by agriculture farms. People who want a better life quality simply mustn’t get closed within a vision of rural areas as a place of depression, fall, and decay. They have to think, act and share a vision which promotes new hope and inspiration. A vision of some individuals in the community will be different from the viewpoint of others in many aspects. However, people in the community must look for some joint elements and aspirations, and the future of rural areas belongs to those who are ready to take demanding steps.
