An urgent appeal
The wild boar emergency continues to be an unresolved plague for Sienese agriculture. There Cia Italian Farmers of Siena asks for a meeting with the president ofUnion of Municipalities of the Sienese Valdichiana, to involve all the municipalities of the area, for an acknowledgment of a situation that is no longer sustainable and with the aim of at least partially solving a problem that has been going on for too many years.
The difficulties of the Sienese companies
This is what emerged at the meeting of the area committee of Sinalunga, chaired by Stefano Coveri, and who, in addition to the members of the committee, saw the presence of the Cia Siena president Federico Taddei, the vice president Luca Marcucci, the director Roberto Bartolini and the area manager Luca Rubegni. "The Sienese farms, in addition to dealing with the skyrocketing energy and raw material costs, with record inflation - underlines Cia Siena president Federico Taddei -, they must continue to suffer damage from wild boars, ungulates in general and wild animals ».
The law is out of date
"As we have been repeating for some time - adds Cia Siena director Roberto Bartolini - a radical reform of law 157 of 1992 is needed: too outdated legislation to be able to tackle a problem that is now out of control (in Italy: with + 111% of wild boars in circulation, over 200 million damage to agriculture) and spectrum of swine fever that months has recorded alarming cases in Liguria and Piedmont ». The hope of the CIA Siena is that politics, sooner or later, will take charge of this emergency that can no longer be postponed.
