Spazio Rurale

Spazio Rurale was an Italian monthly magazine dedicated to the agricultural sector. It was not formally linked to any trade association, and it presented itself as an autonomous voice in favour of Italian agriculture. A large share of its articles dealt with agricultural policy, and it did not shy away from criticising decisions taken by the Ministry of Agricultural Policies and by the European Union. It also followed the internal affairs of agricultural trade organisations and gave space to critical minority positions within their governing bodies. The magazine paid particular attention to sectors suffering most severely from crisis, including sugar beet growing, which faced prospects of further contraction. On GMOs, it gave attention to those parts of the scientific research community and those farmers who favoured a cautious extension of experimentation. A regular insert was devoted to fishing and aquaculture. In 2007, on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Spazio Rurale produced a series of publications on Italian fruit growing, distributed as supplements to the magazine. A publishing house was connected to the magazine, issuing books also devoted to agriculture in its historical and political aspects. The magazine announced that its August issue would be the last printed.
