particular , to prevent the escape of young people from their land , and to help to start their own business in a healthy and environmentally friendly way .

ESM - Ecological Solidarity Market
Some places within which the sale of ecological products owned by the producers takes place directly , without intermediaries . These markets not only involve local producers , but there can participate the ecological producers from all over Croatia . The main purpose of this market is to support small ecological producers , promoting the sale of their products and building a relationship of trust and solidarity with consumers . The first market was started in July of 2013 in Pula , after a year has started another ESM in Rovinj . Markets are coordinated by the association of Pula " IstarskiEkoproizvod ". The ESM is different from other types of markets because there can access only those producers possessing the ecological certificate and the producers who are in a period of transition to ecological production . The market ' s work is closely monitored by a monitoring committee , which certifies that the offer has an ecological origin . The prices of products sold within the ESM are greater than those of the products that are sold in the ESG , where orders are made in advance and thereby the producers can count on the security of the sale .
Administrative strategy
Since all the EPGs in Croatia are established informally and did not bring any official act by which one can deduce what are the administrative rules to be adopted for the functioning of the groups , here was analysed in detail the strategy adopted by the ESGs , which is defined by the Regulation adopted by the members of the same group . Even there is no law to dictate the rules of operation , but at least , with the regulation , there is an act that defines the common rules to be followed by all the members of the group . Here are the main directives :
- In taking decisions , in the distribution of responsibilities and in general for the work of ESG decisions are made equally by both consumers and producers .
