AGRICULTURE.IN.SoUTH.
TYRoL.IS HIGHLy DIVerSe!
For.the.third.time.the.Young.Farmers´.Union.
of.South.Tyrol.have.risen.to.the.challenge.of.
presenting.the.sheer.variety.of.agriculture.in.
our. region. in. a. modern. and. stimulating.
form..
With.its.graphic.style.of.presentation,.
this.brochure.is.an.ideal.work.of.reference.for.everyone,.from.schoolchildren.to.teachers,.from.civil.servants.to.agriculturalists..The.visual.
format.with.its.clear.layout.for.all.the.data.also.makes.the.document.
an.ideal.source.of.material.for.presentations.
The.comparison.between.agriculture.in.North.and.South.Tyrol.and.the.
Trentino.offers.a.cross-border.overview.of.three.regions.that.are.committed.to.the.same.goals,.namely.stewardship.of.the.countryside,.the.
protection.of.good.jobs,.and.the.creation.of.new.spaces.for.leisure.
and.recreation.for.tourists.and.residents.alike..
The.result,.as.you.can.see,.is.a.brochure.full.of.data.relating.to.agriculture.in.South.Tyrol.in.a.breadth.and.variety.that.encourages.further.
study.of.the.subject..We.owe.a.great.debt.of.thanks.to.the.Young.
Farmers´.Union.of.South.Tyrol.for.all.their.work,.which.I.hope.will.
provide.you.with.lots.of.new.insights.into.the.field.
Best.regards,
In.order.to.do.justice.to.the.
sheer. variety. of. agriculture.and.forestry.in.South.
Tyrol,. we. have. not. just.
revised.the.content.
of. our. brochure.
but. have. also.
adopted.a.completely.new.approach.to.the.format..Some.of.the.pages.
will.surprise.you;.others.offer.food.for.thought.
When.we.go.for.a.walk.through.well.managed.countryside,.we.should.
remember.that.it.is.our.farmers.who.shape.the.scenery..In.doing.so,.
they.not.only.create.attractive.spaces.for.leisure.and.recreation.but.
also.guarantee.jobs.in.other.sectors.and.thus.for.us.all.
However.different.the.various.pages.may.be,.they.have.one.thing.in.
common:.Agriculture.is.relevant.for.all.of.us.–.the.farmers.producing.
healthy.produce,.the.retailers.selling.the.food.products.and.the.consumers.who.eat.and.drink.them..
When.we.think.of.old.customs.and.traditions,.we.should.also.remember.that.it.is.often.the.farmers.who.maintain.and.protect.them,.and.
pass.them.on.to.the.younger.generation..To.that.extent.agriculture.
is.a.mirror.of.the.unique.identity.of.South.Tyrol..We.hope.you.will.
be.enchanted.by.this.picture.of.a.sector.of.the.economy.that.offers.
diversity.and.hence.a.future!
