A COMPACT REFERENCE WORK FOR.EVERYONE This. brochure. –. “South. Tyrol’s. Agricultural. and.Forestry.Sector.in.Facts.and.Figures”.–.by. the.Association.of.South.Tyrolean.Young.Farmers. (“Südtiroler. Bauernjugend”). represents. a.valuable.contribution.to.deepening. our.understanding.of.the.agricultural. and.forestry.realities.of.our.province. The.agricultural.and.forestry.sector.is.not.only.an.economic,.but.also. a.cultural.cornerstone.and.social.foundation.of.our.society..It.reflects. our.identity.and.has.helped.shape.it..It.has.made.a.major.contribution. to.promoting.the.diversity.of.our.homeland..The.analysis.of.facts.and. figures.can.help.us.better.understand.the.challenges.and.opportunities.which.our.agriculture.and.forestry.are.facing. By. presenting. the. situation. in. hard. numbers,. we. can. better. quantify. issues,. define. necessary. measures,. and. take. action. to. shape. developments..This.will.enable.us.to.take.innovative.approaches.in. making.our.agricultural.and.forestry.sector.fit.for.the.future.and.more. sustainable. I. would. like. to. sincerely. thank. the. Association. of. South. Tyrolean. Young.Farmers.for.their.work.in.preparing.this.informative.brochure. and.am.confident.that.it.will.make.a.positive.contribution.to.the.further.development.of.our.agricultural.and.forestry.sector. With.best.wishes,
Provincial Minister of Agriculture Arnold Schuler
AGRICULTURE.IN.SOUTH. TYROL.IS HIGHLY DIVERSE! In. order. to. better. present. the. many. facets.of.our.agricultural.and.forestry. sector,. we. have. reworked. this. brochure’s. contents. and. also. added. new. information.. Thus,. we. have. addressed.such.very.current.topics. as. “large. carnivores”. and. the. challenges.posed.by.forest.degradation.caused.by.the.Bark.Beetle..Different.sections.are.sure.to.generate.particular.interest,.while.others.are. likely.to.provoke.thought. The.individual.chapters.of.this.brochure.are.as.diverse.as.the.aspects. it.covers..But.they.all.have.one.thing.in.common:.Agriculture.as.we. experience. it. in. our. day-to-day. lives.. The. farmers. themselves. who. produce.a.panoply.of.healthful.foods.for.our.tables,.the.wholesalers. and. retailers. who. market. them,. or. the. final. consumers. who. enjoy. them.are.all.sure.to.find.this.brochure.fascinating. The.landscapes.we.wander.through.during.our.leisure-time.activities. are.shaped.by.agriculture..Thus,.agriculture.not.only.provides.us.with. space.to.enjoy.our.recreational.activities,.but.also.helps.secure.jobs. in.a.variety.of.economic.sectors.–.to.everyone’s.benefit. Agriculture.is.also.a.preserve.and.refuge.for.time-honored.traditions. and.local.customs.that.can.thus.be.transmitted.to.coming.generations..Agriculture.is.thus.an.integral.part.of.our.South.Tyrolean.identity.. We. hope. that. you. will. be. inspired. by. this. economic. sector. whose. diversity.will.certainly.ensure.one.thing:.A.bright.future!
