Since the nineties of the last century, ecological products have become increasingly important in the market, and given that scientists have pro and contra arguments of ecological breeding, the main purpose of this paper was to determine the consumer's preferences towards ecological food; the importance of certain characteristics and deterrents on the purchase of organic food; in the market of Split. For this survey we randomly recruited 113 participants in Split, Croatia. Surveyed consumers when purchasing organic food of the greatest importance consider protection of the environment, and at the least important they retain the taste. The most significant constraint on purchasing organic food of surveyed consumers is the high cost of the product, and the least important is the lack of marketing. Given the size of the sample, surveyed consumers are a typical target group of consumers of organic food. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Croatian Busha is among the world's smallest cattle breeds and belongs to the group of so called short-horns cattle (Bos brachyeros europeus). Croatian Busha is one of the three autochthonous cattle in Croatia. The number of Busha is constantly decreasing, and one of the possibilities for rescuing the breed is the supply of milk, meat and processed products through agrotourism. The aim of this research is to identify the opinions and attitudes of the respondents about the introduction of Busha's meat and dairy products into the offer of agrotourism. For the research purposes, an on-line survey was conducted on 508 randomly selected respondents. The Busha is relatively unknown to the respondents (59.8%), but has great potential for agrotourism. Most of the respondents (70.5%) agree with the idea of branding Busha's products to increase their popularity and create additional value to the farm. Potential consumers support Busha as an autochthonous breed with value-added that endorses tradition and support its appearance in Croatian agrotouristic offer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
