COMPATIBILITY SUPPORT OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THE CHALLENGES OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Summary/Abstract: The concept of rural development is multidisciplinary, closely related to agriculture as well as to other fields, particularly to ecology. These two areas are complementary and supportive. By introduction of modern concepts and appropriation of natural resources management, these can be perfectly integrated and taking into consideration environmental principles and needs of modern agricultural production and development. The objective of this paper is to emphasize the environmental challenges within the rural development and the level of achieved support tracked in this area. In this paper potential developments will be analyzed and guidelines for the harmonization of rural development of the Bosnia and Herzegovina with environmental principles defined in the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union. Rural development of Bosnia and Herzegovina is dominated by agriculture and forestry, which usually depends on these two branches which are not developed in accordance with the available land and forestry resources, and it doesn't follow their natural resources. However, rural development has become recognized as a term, but in essence its multidisciplinary importance has not been recognized yet and by observing the principles of environmental protection as a result it is not sufficiently respected in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
