The project "Regeneration of traditional agriculture landscape for sustainable agriculture – AGRISCAPE&ME"was aimed at contributing to the development of sustainable agriculture through advocacy for the restoration, preservation, and improvement of traditional agricultural landscapes as part of the overall cultural landscape in Montenegro.
The aim of the project was to contribute to the development of sustainable agriculture through regeneration, conservation and enhancement of traditional agricultural landscape in Montenegro. Traditional agricultural landscapes have been created throughout history through various agricultural activities of people in a given area. These landscapes contributed to the creation of local cultures and identities and because of that they represent the important part of cultural landscape and part of cultural heritage.
