Since the preparation of the Local Plan for Rural Development, the choice of the Province was to seize the opportunity not only and not so much based on the flow of spending and investment from these activities by ensuring the full use of available financial resources, but also as a means to facilitate the emergence of new feelings and attention as well as new ideas and models of behavior on the part of public and private, with the objectives to be achieved by stimulating an increase in the contribution to local life campaign with a strong attention to issues of sustainability and biodiversity.
