Il Patto Città Campagna per una politica agro-urbana e agro-ambientale per il paesaggio pugliese.The City-Countryside Pact: an agro-urban and agro-environmental policy for Apulian landscape. In Mininni M, (a cura di), La sfida della pianificazione paesaggistica pugliese verso una idea nuova di sviluppo sostenibile e sociale.

The city-countryside pact is one of five Territorial Projects regarding Regional Landscape which collectively represent the active safeguarding proposals and development prospects put forward by the regional landscape plan and represent part of an incredible challenge for the future of the Apulian landscape. The pact is based on an agro-urban vision in which agriculture must be able to integrate with the town and its sprawling. According to this view, agriculture is not merely limited to the production of foodstuffs and the safeguarding of the environment. Indeed, it also assumes the role of a living environment which meets the post-rural demand for both countryside and a tamed form of nature. In this context, thanks to the remuneration which comes from the production and provision of public goods and services through the concepts of multifunctionality (agricultural services which do not concern foodstuffs) and conditionalities (the agro-environmental services provided by agriculture and quality of life), periurban agriculture assumes a key role.
