City dwellers have become proportionately more numerous than rural inhabitants in European society. The countryside has often become the preferred setting for their leisure activity, which explains their extreme sensitivity to anything that, in their eyes, might damage the countryside, including the modernization of agricultural techniques. A new kind of qualitative management of the countryside should be based on cooperation between the farming community and city dwellers. The search for solutions capable of conserving the original individual qualities of the countryside, in contrast to the overall similarity of urban sites, must be made to counterbalance the risk of standardization as a result of the application of all-purpose formulas that may be encouraged by increased travel and commerce between European countries. |
