La tutela e la valorizzazione del paesaggio rurale rappresentano temi di rilievo strategico all’interno della Politica Agricola Comunitaria (PAC). E evidente, infatti, che le caratteristiche di un paesaggio rurale possono mutare significativamente a seconda dei possibili cambiamenti di scenario che condizionano l’uso delle superfici destinate all’agricoltura. Tali effetti possono essere indotti dalle dinamiche dei prodotti agroalimentari e dalle scelte promosse dal decisore pubblico. Le aree forestali, in virtu della loro valenza ricreazionale e di conservazione del territorio, rivestono un ruolo importante nel caratterizzare i paesaggi rurali. Il presente studio e volto a valutare il contributo delle foreste e di altri usi alternativi a fini agricoli nel determinare il valore del paesaggio rurale in Gallura (Sardegna, Italia). La metodologia Choice Experiment (CE) e stata applicata a questo scopo, con l’obiettivo di stimare il valore attribuito a tre specifici attributi paesaggistici, che riflettono altrettanti usi del suolo diffusi in Gallura: presenza di foreste, di vigneti e di pascolo. La disponibilita a pagare stimata per la conservazione della foresta e risultata essere assai piu alta di quelle relative al pascolo e ai vigneti. Da questi risultati discendono alcune importanti implicazioni sul piano degli indirizzi di politica agraria.
