Rural Development Plans, as well as even more clearly Operational Plans, Regional Structural Funds and the National Strategy for Inner Areas, therefore also have a very important territorial and landscape dimension. By now, RDP funding is increasingly aimed at supporting and promoting the environmental functions of agro-forestry systems, as well as supporting and enhancing the income of farms. This presupposes that alongside the farm aspects, a territorial and landscape dimension is also developed that allows agro-forestry interventions to be included, agro-forestry, agro-environmental and sylvo-environmental interventions within a design framework on a landscape scale that makes it possible to coordinate the various farm-type interventions for the creation and full valorisation of these true green infrastructures (hedges, tree strips, buffer strips, woods and groves, agro-forestry plantations) to the full benefit of the landscape and the various ecological functions of the territory.
