Alpine Network In order to promote sustainable development of agriculture in the Alpine
region and provide economic security for marginal areas, traditional agricultural
methods rather than industrial methods need to be encouraged. This includes
the conservation and promotion of the traditional plants and animals in
Alpine agriculture. Promoting these traditional systems also helps the
conservation of Alpine wildlife, as they complement the ecosystem rather
than placing additional strain upon it. Traditional farming systems help
to prevent soil erosion and loss of soil fertility, through the use of
methods adapted over centuries especially for the region they are used
in. All these factors contribute to the production of the traditional
Alpine landscapes, which are attractive to tourists.
