La fingerprint bioculturale: concetto ed evoluzione nel caso italiano

The biocultural fingerprint: concept and evolution in italy. As is known, the Italian farms absorb as much as 65% of land area. A major study has compared the bio-cultural maps of the Italian territory in two different periods (1960 and 2000) coming to find consistency and differentiation. Were also identified 11 major causes of land use by farms that have been classified into exogenous here, able to change the fingerprint bio-cultural, and endogenous, leading to the preservation thereof. In order for endogenous rural development will refer to note EU agricultural policy, (CAP). Initially this was advised by exogenous interventions for standardization and specialization of the territory. At a later step the process was reversed. The farm has become the producer of the multifunctional product goodsservices in the mosaic landscape and environment (products / services, food, landscape and environmental, cultural, hospitality and friendliness).
