The method of this article is a qualitative and quantitative in the framework of Grounded Theory. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the matter, a semi-structured interview, in 2017, with 50 experts on environmental experts at the department of environmental protection, municipality, faculty members of the universities, the natural resources and watersheds organization, the Agricultural Jihad and NGOs, the issue of values and actions has served as the main research tool.
