The economy of the whole region of Tuscany is mostly based on agriculture. Farmers grow there not only olives or vine which are characteristic for Italian cuisine, but also cereals, potatoes, peaches and broad beans. Breeding animals, mostly cattle, goats and sheep, plays an important role too. Tuscany has a relatively mild climate that makes the region even more popular for rural tourism.
