Mountain and upland SAMUTER
Case Studies
These SAMUTERs are developed in mountain and upland areas, with both Mediterranean and Atlantic-humid climates, where mixed farming and forestry systems predominate, with agrological constraints due to high altitude, slope, soil erodibility and, in general, harsh climatic conditions. In environments strongly affected by depopulation and demographic ageing, these systems provide high quality and unique agricultural products, shape and manage landscapes of high agro-biodiversity and still preserve techniques, local knowledge and communal formulas for the sustainable use of resources, consistent with the agro-ecological potential of the territory.
