Spanish term

fijación de la población rural

Spanish to English Social Sciences Agriculture Livestock
Hi there,

This expression has come up a few times in my document - "fijación de la población rural"

Here's some context:

Las razas autóctonas siguen suponiendo una forma diferenciada de sustento de muchos de nuestros ganaderos. Su importancia como elemento de fijación de la población rural es, sigue siendo por lo tanto, enorme.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

stabilising (element) of rural population

I think the definition of "stabilise" (to make or become unlikely to change, fail, or decline) fits with "fijar" in this case.
Example sentence:

Massive rail shipments...probably helped to stabilise the rural population.

... employment in rural communities and which therefore help stabilise the rural population.
