ITALIAN HISTORICAL RURAL LANDSCAPES GEBUNDEN

Sustainable development and rural policies have pursued strategies where farming has been often
regarded as a factor deteriorating the ecosystem. But the current economic  social and
environmental problems of the Earth probably call for examples of a positive integration
between human society and nature. This research work presents more than a hundred case studies
where the historical relationships between man and nature have generated  not deterioration 
but cultural  environmental  social and economic values. The results show that is not only the
economic face of globalization that is negatively affecting the landscape  but also
inappropriate environmental policies. The CBD-UNESCO program on biocultural diversity  the FAO
Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems and several projects of the International
Union of Forest Research Organizations  as well as European rural policies acknowledge the
importance of cultural values associated to landscape. This research intends to support these
efforts.
