There is an increasing consensus in our society that accepts that economic growth must respect sustainability standards, and that debates how to link ecology and economy.<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Economic growth, as a pillar of the capitalist system, has often been associated with the urban condition, the growth of cities, and the unrestricted expansion of their metropolitan areas. Both the services and the infrastructure needed are expanding, changing the territory and, in return, leaving aside the natural environment and the consequences of its alteration.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is now clear that this has caused an ecological emergency, and many consciences have changed. They have now the opinion that the economy cannot forget nature, which is an increasingly accepted idea. It is probably outside the more purely urban fabric that more steps are taken in this direction, driven by the sensitivity of landscape conservation and natural heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following this goal of protection and appreciation of this heritage, the local world created the <\/span>Landscape charters<\/span><\/a>. Since 2006, <\/span>Decree 343<\/span><\/a> of the Generalitat develops <\/span>Law 8\/2005<\/span><\/a> for the protection, management, and planning of the landscape, although some counties such as Alt Pened\u00e8s have already had their own since 2002.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How does economy fits in sustainability?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The promotion of those sectors that are better adapted to nature and territory, such as wine, are one of the most common bets. It is a type of industry that combines agriculture and tourism, bringing benefits to the region in a minimum of two ways and enhancing the landscape. Some studies show that sales increase when the buyer links them to an environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintaining this sustainability, however, is sometimes not that simple. The first issue is related to tourism, about which we have talked, and the protection of the landscape as an exclusive setting against overcrowding. This can affect, in fact, the comfort and daily life of the inhabitants themselves. Secondly, we could go back to everything that the industry requires, which will eventually give jobs and leave profits in the form of taxes, such as the creation of industrial estates.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
