We’ve stayed at a couple of farmstays there and the government subsidises small farms heavily to ensure that there is some food security. Talking about a hill farm with twelve cows for example.

They have sophisticated water gathering channels (bisse) established (and fought over) five hundred years ago, carefully maintained.
Of course, getting rid of the resident foreigners (26% of the population) would help ….
