1. Orientation towards people, communities and rural territories, which in order to

sustain the development process need to be part of it.

economically and environmentally sustainable, with increasing levels of
productivity, not at the expense of natural capital but thanks to innovation.
3. Orientation towards a redefinition of the relationship of rural areas with
ecosystems, natural resources, and climate change, focused on resilience and
sustainability.

Social Inclussion

The development of the region is not possible, if almost for out of 10 people still live
in 20th century context, or even in conditions similar to those of the 19th century.

1. It is necessary to ensure a minimum level of protection for the most vulnerable;

2. All rural inhabitants must be able to participate in the development process –
productively, socially and politically – and;
3. It is important to adapt to changing environmental conditions (climate
resilience).
