Damage prevention
“The resources available to finance the projects – explains Filippo Anelli, technician in charge of the sector for Coldiretti Parma – amount to 70 thousand euros for the first tender and 130 thousand euros for the second. They are important resources in the context of an action strongly desired by Coldiretti in a context where we are summing up another measure promoted by the Gal on the prevention of damage from fauna (A.2.5 type of operation 4.4.02) to support the interventions aimed at protecting farms from damage by wildlife, for which 2022 applications were presented by Coldiretti Parma in 14 and are currently in the preliminary investigation phase". The First Tender (A.2.3c1) is aimed at financing the costs for the structural and plant adaptation of the collection and parking centers for game meat to be used for processing within the controlled supply chain of the Duchy, such as building works and plant engineering necessary for the adaptation of the structures; the purchase and installation of new equipment and machinery; the arrangement of external access areas/outbuildings to improve their usability.
Hunters and Suppliers
The tenders are interrelated and aim to strengthen relations between the suppliers of the raw material, i.e. the hunters, but also the farmers with self-defense and prevention from the continuous damage caused by the fauna, and the other operators in the supply chain (butchers and restaurants, including the agritourism network) and to develop a brand policy and behavioral protocols by adhering to a specific specification. To take a full view of the opportunities contained in the tenders as regards methods of participation, subjects and eligible expenses, please consult the institutional site of the Gal del Ducato in the section dedicated to tenders.
