THE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (LDP)
With DGR n. 545 of 10.03.2009 the Veneto Region has approved funding of the Local Development Programme LAG Antico Dogado entitled "THE WAYS OF THE SERENISSIMA.

STRATEGY
The strategy has been defined through a bottom-up approach with consultation and coordination of all the economic subjects of the territory. It identifies as focal points the improvement of the quality of life in rural areas, the promotion of the diversification of economic activities, besides the enhancement of competitiveness of agriculture sectors involved in local chains of traditional and conventional products. In particular, the LAG wants to develop and promote the non-farming activities, enhancing the multifunctional role of the farm, creating synergies between agriculture and other productive sectors: tourism, personal services, crafts, etc.. The LDP also focuses on the development of slow tourism and its sustainable mobility systems, in conjunction with the typical and traditional products and the environmental and cultural enhancement of the territory. The improvement of the quality of life and social economy is realized by increasing integration between sectors, promoting the territory as an expression of a system.
