The mainland territories of the terraferma hold agricultural potential that poor drainage, neglect, and feudal indifference have left unrealized — marshes that could be grain fields, river banks that flood each spring and wash away the labor of the season before. We have established the Provveditori ai Beni Inculti with the authority to commission drainage canals, enforce irrigation schemes, and compensate landowners whose cooperation the works require. This systematic land improvement has extended the productive capacity of our wealthiest agricultural regions, giving Venice a food surplus that keeps the city fed even when sea trade is disrupted by war or blockade.
