Maremma wins in organic farming while Minister Lollobrigida "distinguishes" Italian consumers

Maremma with 7 municipalities is the largest organic district in Europe. 5 companies are on the same road to increase exports. Lollobrigida's statements are comical

Maremma wins in organic farming while Minister Lollobrigida "distinguishes" Italian consumers

According to the European Union, the cultivated lands to be allocated to organic must be at least 25% of the total. It is a good percentage established within the framework of the European agricultural policy until 2027. The specialized percentage, however, can also be increased to sell good products to both the rich and the poor. Italy is the country which, together with Spain and France, is measuring itself with that ¼ of cultivated land, in order to overcome it. For now, Tuscany has succeeded, which in the area of Maremma, out of 96 hectares, 41% is conducted with organic methods.

A hit in heart of Italy, in the historic border with Lazio where agriculture is life and wealth. In an area that also has a tourist vocation, but remains a land of sacrifices and values ​​linked to the fields. The Tuscany Region a few days ago recognized the effort of 7 Commia get together and create the largest organic production laboratory in Europe. At the origin of everything is the district that brings together: Grosseto, Capalbio, Castiglione della Pescaia, Magliano in Toscana, Manciano, Orbetello and Scansano. A consortium that sees 51% of private companies and 49% of public participation.

The controversies do not touch the successes

The agricultural-food utterances of the Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida they are the comic side of structured and well-organized realities that are either really ignored or pretended. We are doing well here, explained the Region through the vice-president Stefania Saccardi. “Europe has set the target of 25% of the area cultivated as organic by 2025 but Tuscany is already at 35% now”. There are more than a thousand agricultural companies that work only with agricultural methods that produce food with natural substances and processes. A benefit concrete receives the environment, by virtue of the fact that in each Municipality at least 30% of the territory must be organic or devoted to agroecology. The numbers of the Region make it clear that the farmers of the consortium have not neglected the sale of what they grow. They like to be featured on foreign markets proud of Made in Italy, market and compete. Will they proselytize?

In Maremma there are over 5 farms, 1.341 of which have also obtained the certified organic method. That kind of doc passport to be able to export to Europe and the world. We have the largest biological district in Europe and for the Maremma it is truly an important flagship, explained the Region. Anton Francesco Vivarelli Colonna, mayor of Grosseto, known for having posted a video against the communists while training in the gym, is even more satisfied and has certainly not spoken to Minister Lollobrigida, at least in the last few hours. In fact, the mayor says that Grosseto aspires to "become a point of reference for national and international agriculture". He is not wrong if he also informs the Minister of Agriculture about this.
