No to penalizing measures
Effective and lasting responses are needed to the national and European challenges that Tuscan agriculture is facing. It is urgent to ferry agriculture beyond the stalemate, without the penalizing measures of recent years. In short, a new project is needed for the development of the Tuscan agricultural system. This is underlined by Cia-Agricoltori Italiani Toscana, which held the regional assembly in Campi Bisenzio (FI), which saw a large participation of members and farmers from all of Tuscany, representatives of institutions, politics, associations and trade organizations. Speakers included Cristiano Fini, president of Cia Agricoltori Italiani; Maurizio Scaccia, director of Cia Agricoltori Italiani; the vice president of the Tuscany Region, Stefania Saccardi of the Tuscany Region, the undersecretary of agriculture Patrizio Giacomo La Pietra, the MEP Dario Nardella, the president of Anci Toscana Susanna Cenni and in the afternoon the president of the Region Eugenio Giani.
Supply Chain Opportunities
“There are many proposals from Cia Toscana to reverse the trend - stressed the president of Cia Toscana, Valentino Berni -: in Europe we must work to maintain the budget and better target farmers, trying to get the concessions, contributions and opportunities of the supply chain. At the regional level, the problem of the water resource, the management of fauna and that of creating a supply chain table for each sector that can aggregate from large-scale distribution, to the processor to the farmer who is the weak link”.
Wildlife
"At a national level, there are serious problems with the opportunity to work to create synergy between companies, the economy and the territories: agricultural work is discriminated against with increasingly severe, repressive and non-preventive controls in the perspective of significant development and, today, we ask to pay attention to this situation, and then more careful management is needed with regards to the management of fauna, predators, ungulates, which at this moment are also running wild in Tuscany with PSA (swine fever). Furthermore - Berni highlighted - farmers who must immediately have a fair income, more balance and transparency along the supply chain. As we have been repeating for years - he added - less bureaucracy and more flexible tools are needed to resolve the shortage of manpower. Without forgetting to revitalize the internal areas, which are fundamental for all of Tuscany".
