Since the latter years of the 1980s, there has been a gradual decline due to a drop in the value of lemons, an increase in labour costs and in non-agricultural use of land. Abandonment of farms has gradually brought about a deterioration in the agricultural landscape and given rise to erosion, due, principally, to the destruction of dry stone walls. The analysis is based on GIS photointerpretations of the variations in cultivated areas and the consequent mutations of the agricultural landscape in a sub-area of Messina Province which was the subject of similar analysis in 1963. The results have highlighted that in the study area there has been a drastic reduction in the area under lemon cultivation. This continuing decline is likely to be difficult to reverse in the coming years because of negative average farm incomes. This negative trend in profitability has occurred despite the many legislative incentives for lemon farms. The results seem to suggest a revision of current strategies to protect agricultural landscape especially in the marginal rural areas of the European Union. 000131061 650__ $$aAgricultural and Food Policy 000131061 650__ $$aEnvironmental Economics and Policy 000131061 6531_ $$aLandscape 000131061 6531_ $$aCAP 000131061 6531_ $$aAES 000131061 6531_ $$aSicily 000131061 6531_ $$aLemon 000131061 700__ $$aPappalardo, Gioacchino 000131061 700__ $$aD'Amico, Mario 000131061 700__ $$aLa Via, Giovanni 000131061 700__ $$aPulvirenti, Angelo 000131061 773__ $$q31$$o44$$tPolitica Agricola Internazionale - International Agricultural Policy$$k01$$d2012$$j2012 000131061 8564_ $$9841294e0-90dd-4fd6-b31d-a1f3ef8b30e9$$s327816$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/131061/files/Pappalardo_et_al.pdf 000131061 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/131061 000131061 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:131061$$pGLOBAL_SET 000131061 912__ $$nSubmitted by Fabio Gaetano Santeramo (fabiogaetano.santeramo@unina.it) on 2012-08-12T20:23:49Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Pappalardo_et_al.pdf: 327816 bytes, checksum: e6149d4a3d659962ef90675037def14a (MD5) 000131061 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2012-08-12T20:23:51Z (GMT).
