Here's an article in the Giornale di Brescia, 13 January 2009, titled "One and a half billion square meters to be saved."
One of the most significant innovations introduced by the Regional Law No. 12 of 2005 is the one that gives the Ptcp (and therefore body Province) the task of identifying the areas of agricultural strategic interest within which municipalities must indicate areas for agriculture. This is a "reserve" prescriptive jurisdiction of the provincial administration can take to protect areas of great importance. A "reserve", however, quite wide. Which notes that 35% of the province of Brescia is used for agricultural purposes and that, according to a first estimate very reliable, at least 90% of that portion of territory shall be deemed to agriculture of strategic interest, "it follows that the Province may "save" something like 1,500 square kilometers of land or, if you like, a billion and a half square feet of land Brescia. Numbers
impact, making the idea of \u200b\u200bthe importance of planning tool. Other figures also underline the need - the more, the urgency - of protective actions. calculations on soil consumption of the past decade (1999-2008) observe that the urbanized area, which in early 2008 represented 9% of the province in two decades has grown by 13%. Still, in the same period the consumption of agricultural land has increased by 3%, this 3% was calculated at 1% of the whole of the province. If the absurd (but not too much) will continue at this rate, over a thousand years would be consumed throughout the the province.
To define what is an agricultural area of \u200b\u200bstrategic interest, the law introduces regional criteria that take into account the special historical, cultural, and natural landscapes that characterize the region, guided by principles of subsidiarity, adequacy, differentiation, sustainability, participation and flexibility. So should not be considered only production aspects but also the function landscape with the balance of open spaces, its natural with the construction of the ecological network and the diversification of farms with rural tourism and educational activities.
In close cooperation with municipalities, the Province has identified certain areas agricultural policy. They are: the agricultural system of the plains, the foothills of the lakes system, the system of the foot of hills and hilly areas, the territorial system of the mountain, divided in turn into sub-system of the valley, in the alpine meadows and pastures and in the slope . In the draft version of the
Ptcp are then defined the criteria for the identification of agricultural areas in the municipal planning and development of specific rules, use and protection, in relation to the instruments of regional planning and programming. The emphasis on the need to prevent the welding of urban and conurbation phenomena, strengthening the function of the margins urban landscape and avoiding further fragmentation of agricultural land and the farm system.
