AN ARCHIPELAGO OF SLOW ISLANDS

Though the distinctive, identity-based economies of the Tuscan islands are becoming increasingly marginalized, crushed by the mirage of easy profits and the invasion of mass tourism, in recent years a number of small farms have been started. Often they are run by courageous and far-sighted young people who are staking their livelihoods on their homeland, bringing together tradition and innovation.
