Le Guide pour l’évaluation de l’agroécologie propose une démarche et des outils méthodologiques pour apprécier, d’une part, les effets des pratiques et des systèmes agroécologiques sur les performances agroenvironnementales et socio-économiques de l’agriculture et, d’autre part
Cinque Terre, one of the most important Italian cultural landscapes, has not been spared from depopulation and agricultural abandonment processes, that involved many rural areas in Europe, as a consequence of socio-economic transformations that occurred after WWII.

The stabling of livestock farming implies changes in both local ecosystems (regeneration of forest stands via reduced grazing) and those located thousands of kilometers away (deforestation to produce grain for feeding livestock). Despite their importance, these externalities are poorly known.
