productive process, which must be recognised and made the most of through support and promotion such as territory monitoring, the rescue and safeguard of the rural landscape, environment protection, implementation of biodiversity and crop diversification, growth and treatment of biomasses also for the production of energy, soil protection and impact on Public Administration costs;
the functions that can be added to those related to the traditional productive process, which must be a source of income: transformation and commerce of agro-food products (excluding wine, oil and cheese, which are considered agricultural products to all effects), taking care of the green areas and working tools, snow shovelling, cleaning of woods, educational and leisure activities, tourism, person-oriented services.
