Sustainable development and rural policies have pursued strategies
where farming has been often regarded as a factor deteriorating the
ecosystem. But the current economic, social and environmental
problems of the Earth probably call for examples of a positive
integration between human society and nature. This research work
presents more than a hundred case studies where the historical
relationships between man and nature have generated, not
deterioration, but cultural, environmental, social and economic
values. The results show that is not only the economic face of
globalization that is negatively affecting the landscape, but also
inappropriate environmental policies. The CBD-UNESCO program on
biocultural diversity, the FAO Globally Important Agricultural
Heritage Systems and several projects of the International Union of
Forest Research Organizations, as well as European rural policies
acknowledge the importance of cultural values associated to
landscape. This research intends to support these efforts.
