Abstract: Social, economic and infrastructural development as well as environmental development are
the priorities of the Sustainable Development Strategy of the City of Krusevac for the period 2010-2020.
Economic development has four strategic goals – supporting local economy and entrepreneurship, attracting
investment, developing agriculture and villages – rural development and tourism development. Rural
development, which implies the development of agriculture and rural areas, is one of the goals which
realization will contribute to the faster economic development of the city. The City Administration, line
ministries, local partners and farmers themselves contribute to the development of agriculture and rural
areas by implementing activities related to increasing the productivity and competitiveness of agriculture
and the processing sector along with applying new knowledge, improving land and land structure and
diversifying rural activities. The integration of agriculture and tourism can significantly contribute to the
economic development of the City of Krusevac and the entire Rasina District, too. The City of Krusevac
has recognized advanced agricultural and tourism potentials that can be utilized for faster economic development;
therefore, activities to develop and connect them are undertaken by the city.
Keywords: agriculture, village, tourism, City of Krusevac.
