lpv:translated text	". An agriculture that is increasingly relying on the world market will try to produce as cheaply as possible, at the expense of the quality of work, of nature, of the environment and of animal welfare. The least productive regions will be abandoned first. Those are areas that have been uninhabited over a long period, because it requires more effort to earn a living. The people who had nevertheless finally settled there, were the outcasts of society. Often they were ex-convicts, ethnic minorities and losers in the battle for the best land. The least productive areas where the losers wound up are not only the mountain areas, but also low-lying wetlands, that is, old bogs, the bottom of which consists of peat, a water retaining vegetable material that, when dry, shrinks and disappears. Farmers in mountains and wetlands now play an important role in nature conservation, recreation and water management. In a free, unprotected market, they are doomed to disappear. Then their working and living area will not return to primeval nature, but will go to the dogs. Mechanising and destroying the landscape to allow it to be cultivated more easily is not an acceptable alternative. That is why I should like to back the proposed supporting measures, but to register an objection if these are limited to the mountains alone."@en1
