Context: 

The choice of integrated and participatory management of rural landscapes arises from the widespread awareness, at European and global level, of the needs of rural areas to have knowledge systems that can preserve the uniqueness of the landscape and the heritage (cultural, natural and cultivation) of these areas and exploit their potential in terms of tourism and food farming.
The local context in which the projects are going to operate is composed of rural areas, where the variety of assets can be an asset for the development but it must be managed through appropriate policies, methods and tools.

Project idea summary:
