• Due to the high costs of cultivating on terraces there is
a need of a cultural maturation of the whole
community, which should understand all the benefits
of a well maintained landscape and consider the option
of sustain the system either by a fair trade or by public
contributions
• There is a general increasing interest on the agricultural
sector made. The agricultural activity should be also
economically sustainable to make any restoration
project durable for years.
• It is important to keep going the debate about the
contemporary value of the terraces and the work done
by ITLA in this field is particularly remarkable
