Research and analysis on sustainable tourism - Central Europe

Although farming is not the main sector in terms of employees, businesses total 422 units (data from
2000), resulting to be consistent in comparison to 1982. If we analyse the situation municipality by
municipality, they have all recorded growth surges in comparison to 1982, with the exception of Palù
del Fersina, where the number of farming businesses has shrunk from 61 to 30 units. Conversely, the
exploited agricultural surface as well as the farming companies’ overall surface recorded a substantial
decrease between 1982 <strong>and</strong> 2000. Finally, the administrative surface has remained essentially constant
over time (Table 36).
