Abstract

Agriculture belongs to the domains very difficult in appraisal It enables formulation of essentially different opinions. Therefore, the author opens his article with a presention of place and role of argiculture not only in the food economy growth but also in the whole national economy. A low level of agricultural development in the period between (two world wans and then war devastations called for deep reforms. The land reforms was the first act of these «reforms. In the result a model of agriculture concordant in the best way with the level of productive forces was formed. Rightness of that model was conformed by a quick growth of agricultural output in the first years after the war and subsequent failures in developing a capital-consuming model of the socialized economy. Afterwards the problems were gradually normalized, however, without essential changes, It was only 1970, when a visible quantitative and qualitative growth in our agriculture has been marked. The quantitative growth was expressed by a high rate of production growth, especially of animal production. The qualitative growth was connected with development of different forms of co-operation and inter-sectoral collaboration. A more rapid transmission towards a model of concentrated, effective and co-operated agriculture in all its sectors is promoted by some changes which occured in the sphere of labour force due to age of agricultural population and to development of industrial production base for algricultture. A need exists for better utilization of agricultural labour force, growth in its effectiveness and family development, as well as for a new model of country's settlements.
