Agriculture and Environmental Management. The rural environment is a bone of contention between the different occupants of the countryside and its proper management calls for greater congruity between agricultural policies and environmental protection. Certain policies, like the abandonment of land that is under cultivation and the granting of subsidies for the most polluting forms of agriculture, should be re-examined. Tax and labour regulations should be revised not only to avoid penalizing environment-friendly extensive farming but also to encourage farmers to carry out farm improvements and environmental maintenance works and develop tourist activities on their farms. Finally, the problem of thinly scattered communes could be solved by taking decisions at district level.
