Abstract:

Over the years, communication projects on environmental issue sand agri-food education have played an important role in rural development, but multifunctional agriculture has not been popularized at school level. Conservation and maintenance of territories, the promotion of diversity and the enhancement of natural resources for the valorisation and development of rural areas and the growth of jobs are important subjects relevant to the strategic objectives of agricultural policies, although they are currently not fully understood and not debate dwithin ministerial programs. Recently, rural areas are under going changes due to changes in the global economy and consumption at international level, pressures on soiland natural resources, issues that make traditional, social and economic organizational models difficult. The on-going transition stimulates reflection on the value of common goods and the role of civil society.
