Introduction
The 3rd International Cooperation and Sustainable Development Policies Summer School will offer an overview of the different tools and policies aimed to promote
sustainable development. It will provide an analysis of some of the different interrelated dimensions of sustainability in agriculture: the ecological, the social, the economic and the international dimension.
The school seeks to offer a deep analysis of the theoretical, legal and operational aspects related to the planning and management of agro-environmental systems, and, on this basis, develop sound methodologies for an active policy of endogenous sustainable development in agricultural and rural areas.
