Specific requests
There are four priorities for mountain agriculture identified by Coldiretti Aosta Valley and presented to Aosta Valley candidates in the political elections of 25 September in the wake of those illustrated during the Coldiretti National Assembly, last 28 July, to quickly and concretely focus the most urgent needs of the agricultural world. Coldiretti Valle d'Aosta asks potential Aosta Valley parliamentarians to commit themselves to defending mountain agriculture in the first 100 days of the legislature by promoting, in the future and hoped-for Ministry of Agro-food, the indication of quality called "Mountain agriculture" which must be used for raw materials produced by farms in the Valle d'Aosta area. Among the commitments required, Coldiretti also includes attention to the excessive proliferation of wildlife and in particular of wolves, which makes the management of livestock activities in the mountains complex.
The problem of drought
The concrete request concerns the regional law on wolf-man coexistence, approved more than a year ago, and the hope expressed by Coldiretti is that "it will not remain only on paper, but that it is a measure applied in all its steps in defense of our farms, our pastures and our breeders" it reads in the document. There severe drought which has also affected the Aosta Valley in recent months is at the basis of the need to plan on the national territory and also in the Aosta Valley a structural intervention of small reservoirs with low environmental impact to be built with simplified bureaucratic procedures and additional funds of the PNRR. Coldiretti Valle d'Aosta, in this context, asks the exponents of the Valle d'Aosta the willingness to act as coordination with the regions of the Alpine Arc.
Mountain farming
The last point of the drafted document concerns the difficult context of mountain agriculture with the request for a greater political commitment to the mountain areas and the communities that live there, avoiding abandonment, depopulation, desertification. In this regard, Coldiretti Valle d'Aosta believes it is right that the new CAP does not exclude the mountains and that the RDP - the rural development plan - favors local businesses: The document submitted to the candidates in political elections it also contains a focus on forest management and the wood supply chain, on the prevention of hydrogeological instability and on one differentiated taxation and peculiar for companies, municipalities and families who choose not to abandon and further desertify mountain territories.
