Las actividades primarias en Canarias, y en especial, la agricultura, presentan una situación de crisis que amenaza con aumentar el abandono de fincas, la reducción de la producción y la pérdida de población rural. Los valores económicos, sociales, ambientales y culturales que caracterizan a estas actividades aconsejan una apuesta más decidida por el mantenimiento del sector, para lo que es necesario replantear en muchas zonas el desarrollo agrario integral vinculándolo a la conservación y recuperación ambiental y cultural, dentro de una concepción de desarrollo sostenible. Pues bien, en este artículo, partiendo de la exposición del valor que tiene la actividad agraria en las Islas, se describe su problemática actual y se apuntan sus oportunidades de desarrollo. Se concluye precisándose, a partir de los instrumentos de intervención existentes, objetivos globales, algunas recomendaciones estratégicas generales y propuestas de intervención que podrían ser tenidos en cuenta.
Primary activities in the Canary Islands, and especially agriculture, are undergoing a crisis that threatens to continue to promote a move away from the countryside, a reduction in production and rural de-population. The economic, social, environmental and cultural values that characterise these activities indicate a need for more decisive support for maintaining this sector, making an integral development of farming necessary in many areas, linked to environmental and cultural conservation and recovery, as part of a sustainable development approach to the problem. With the value of farming activities as a starting point, this article describes the current problems and identifies the opportunities for development. The articles concludes by establishing global objectives, based on existing intervention instruments, some general strategic recommendations and proposals for intervention that could be taken on board.
