Banks that collapse, banks that yield, ditches like sieves, agricultural operators are increasingly exposed to accidents during the processing phases in the countryside due to the proliferation of nutria. The risk is not only for farmers - explains Coldiretti Veneto - citizens can also run into the safety dangers caused by the uncontrolled presence of this harmful species. The alarm for the exponential increase of these animals is also demonstrated by the reports of structural failures near the waterways and canals borne by families who must in any case remedy the instability.
The eradication of otters in Veneto is regulated by a three-year containment plan - he says Coldiretti Veneto - that given the results achieved, it must be updated making it more effective through the use of cutting-edge technologies to identify the rodent settlement sites, integrated with ad hoc incentives to support the culling and carcass disposal and to activate modern tools that in real time favor the mapping of the presence of otters.
In addition to the damage to crops in the field such as corn, beets and wheat that the rodent is fond of extraordinary maintenance interventions at the expense of the Reclamation Consortia - comments Coldiretti Veneto - the attention on the subject is so high that from the territory it has reached the tables of the Regional Council with a motion under discussion at Palazzo Ferro Fini so that the necessary measures are taken to deal with a programming five years with the tools at the height of requests made by agricultural entrepreneurs and by the bodies involved.
This situation, if neglected, can only degenerate further - concludes Coldiretti Veneto - on this the regional administration can immediately commit itself, providing new methodologies applied to the perspective of a planning of five years, with solutions that match the safety demands not only expressed by the world of agriculture but by the entire community.
