The regional section of the Basilicata of the association Confagricoltura andGame Producers (EPS) have signed an important agreement concerning the agricultural and wildlife management. This is the agreement reached at national level regarding a series of common initiatives. Pending the approval of the wildlife law by the Regional Council of Basilicata, the two associations wanted to anticipate the times and overcome once and for all the opposition that often divides farmers and hunters.
Relationships, even in the most recent past, have not been the best and therefore the collaboration has been renewed on the assumption that the territory is not only the productive tool of companies in the primary sector but also "Cradle of hunting". According to Confagricoltura, the value of fauna management and habitat protection activities is very high if we look at the economic and employment aspects.
We are talking about seven billion euros, a very high figure that represents 0,44% of the gross domestic product. Furthermore, we must add the excellences from the artisan point of view for what concerns the Made in Italy:. This is why this strategic factor can only be protected, starting with agreements like this in Basilicata.
