| Summary: | This article deals with the disparities between mountain and plane agriculture in Switzerland. A first part
shows the causes. It states that beside natural conditions as well the development of the specific technology
as well the federal agricultural laws lead to
increasing disparities. The consequences are discussed, too. The federal agricultural policy responded with
three special laws in favour of the mountain agriculture. The character of these laws are also discussed.
The problems are not yet solved, specifically it can be
observed, that the smaU villages get smaller and the
big are growing.<br>
The article discusses a number of possibilities to
diminish the disparities within the Swiss agriculture:
these are (a) more efficiency of the already existing
measures, (b) incentives for «new» products and (c)
measures, which lead to conditions, that small farms
could reach a füll economical existence. This again
would increase the number of families in the small
mountain villages. Results of planning and field
studies are presented. |
