In Spain is a diverse country but with large imbalances, where 85-90% of the territory belongs to the rural world and living only 30% of the population. These data suggest the two concepts the title of this session.
The main problem facing the rural world is the depopulation . This will have to advance cohesion of rural areas to ensure a proper balance between urban and rural areas, as sustainable rural development goals and processes shared territorial cohesion. In other words, they should increase the attractiveness of rural areas, the multifunctionality of land and a good organization, all while preserving the functional integrity which means preserving its territorial cohesion.
rural development in the immediate future can be a good opportunity, but it is necessary to develop and establish policies and innovative mechanisms that are effective to meet the needs and aspirations of the rural world.
To function as a whole and understand the synergies of the territory is important social consciousness. It is important to see that laws such as 45/2007 for sustainable rural development not only affects 30% of the population of the territory but the whole society. On several occasions these people were appointed as managers of natural resource and it should not be forgotten that "the rural world produces food, but also landscape and biodiversity" Odile Rodríguez de la Fuente .
groups Local Action and women's organizations among others, are very important part of this social consciousness. Both help maintain the rural world by giving voice and claiming the support they need to keep alive their world. The ability of the company will give a success or failure of this idea, if the company is able to see it as a whole in an integrated way, we are on track.
This session was inevitable not to mention the known CAP (Common Agricultural Policy), the same day was conveyed to Congress the draft of the new policy that will affect us in the coming years. The rural world is to much to this policy still determines the 43% of the EU budget. The policies of the CAP are based on three pillars:
Competitiveness of agriculture
Sustainable management of natural resources,
balanced territorial development (diversification )
Local governments are a crucial role in rural development strategy, but during the lecture came questions like: has undermined the powers to give more power to the government? "Competition should be local or state? There were numerous and various references in this regard but there was no unanimity of opinion.
also referred to a tool that can help in solving the rural system, these are called Territorial Exploitation Contracts, which appears in a regulation that has not yet seen the light. There are many uncertainties which stands before this, and that gave debate during the session, and sure to be an inevitable topic of talk in the next CONAMA.
