Role of agriculture in the development of rural regions

Abstract

In connection with the conception and realisation of the principles of sustainable development, profound changes happen with regard to the position and role of agrarian sector in the frame of the national economy development. Not only developed states respond to these changes, but also the so-called "candidate countries" should react. The contribution is applied to the problems of determination and definition of indicators that characterise regions so that it would be possible, based on them, to determine the prosperity of individual regions.
