To promote sustainable agricultural development in the Alpine region and ensure economic security for peripheral areas, traditional agricultural methods need to be encouraged over industrial methods. This includes the preservation and promotion of traditional plants and animals in alpine agriculture. Supporting these traditional systems also contributes to the conservation of alpine wildlife, as they complement the ecosystem rather than adding additional burdens to it. Traditional farming systems help prevent soil erosion and the loss of soil fertility by applying methods that have been specifically adapted to the region over centuries. All these factors contribute to the production of traditional Alpine landscapes that are attractive to tourists.
