The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development organized today in Zagreb at the Palace Hotel a workshop ‘Experiences from the Implementation of the Project ‘Consolidation of Agricultural Land in Croatia’ ‘
The aim of the workshop was to highlight the most important activities that need to be carried out in order to successfully implement all the announced innovations within the land policy framework. A new development is the establishment of the Agency for Agricultural Land and the introduction of the right of first refusal for agricultural land in private ownership by the Agency. The project team and their collaborators based their presentations on experiences gained from the implementation of five pilot projects for agricultural land consolidation in Croatia. After the presentation, a discussion was held among the participants. The implementation phase of the project ‘Consolidation of Agricultural Land in Croatia’ is being carried out from June 1, 2006, to May 31, 2009. The goal of the project is to support the development of Croatian agricultural land consolidation policy based on experiences gained from the implementation of pilot projects for agricultural land consolidation.
