| description | In the last decades of the 20th century, the Alpine areas have witnessed a remarkable process of depopulation: the effects on the environment caused by the abandonment of agro-pastoral practices have extended beyond the local scale, changing the characteristics of the landscape and cultural traditions and transforming these areas into marginal lands. For some years now, however, there have been a number of projects throughout the Alps that are attempting to reintroduce different types of historically documented crops: for example, rye, a mountain cereal par excellence which, although not native to the Alps, was essential for food and everyday life until the 1950s. Its recovery, which is at once economic, cultural and touristic, plays a significant – and, in my opinion, fortifying – role in interaction, cooperation and exchanges between local communities and acts as a link between tradition and the present day. This example will be useful to show that the reintroduction of local and historically documented crops, if it revitalises the regional economy and at the same time protects the environment, will allow us to emphasise that investigating the Alpine space through the implementation of models of cultural and economic sustainability, emphasising the relational network and strengthening integration and behaviour through knowledge-learning-remembering, involves local communities in a more active role in society. |
