I would like to point out, however, that this starting point indicates to us the challenges which face us: maintaining a population in rural areas, given the changes taking place in all types of economic activity owing to agriculture' s increasing lack of importance amongst the various sources of income for rural society.
Men jeg vil gerne her fremhæve, at dette udgangspunkt gør os opmærksomme på de udfordringer, som vi står over for: at fastholde befolkningen i landområderne under de igangværende forandringer i de forskellige erhverv, fordi landbrugets betydning som indtægtskilde i landbrugssamfundet konstant mindskes.
