I think back to agriculture is the real economic revolution for the city of Reggio Calabria. The particularly mild climate would allow for the entry markets in the off-season periods (such as the experience of growing raspberries of cooperatives Buonamico teaches) to impose high quality products to markets. Agricultural activity in the new millennium is to be construed as an industry in which everyone has a role according to his abilities. Taking advantage of available funding and implementing the establishment of cooperatives, I think, that could employ thousands of young people considering the fact that near Reggio Calabria, there are acres of fertile land was abandoned after decades of research the concept of place in 'administration public. Who travels now the way is destined to a life of chronic insecurity, it must turn to new avenues of research stable and productive work.
publishing the manifesto that has the same title of the post and signed by various parties in November last year.
Agriculture, in modern post-industrial economies, it assumes a new, very central.
It's not just the industry that produces "fill stomachs" also determines the conditions that can affect the quality of life and the serenity of the people.
The production of healthy and genuine food is closely linked to environmental protection and landscape, thus becomes gradually balancing factor between the living (human or otherwise) and the territory.
With the complex system of relationships that can develop - interpersonal, interregional, intercultural, production and processing, to reduce pollution, prevention of diseases (not just food-borne), an increase of tourism, bioenergy etc.. - Agriculture is projected to become the flying life of present and future progress.
Italy is about a case in point. Our country is made up 76.8 percent from the hill and mountain areas and more than 80 percent from rural areas, where agriculture, even when it is not economically able to play a decisive role, contributes, however, to determine the social, environmental and landscape.
approximately 5,800 municipalities in Italy on more than 8,000, less than 5,000 inhabitants and are the true backbone of the socio-economic system that continues to be based on small communities and small-medium enterprises, which are development opportunities, indissolubly linked to the territory.
With these features of our agricultural system, Italy, if agreed to compete with the standards imposed by the globalization of competition "unipolar" and approval, would face a single perspective: that of underdevelopment and exclusion.
On the contrary, relying firmly on the peculiarities originality of our farm produce - thus enhancing the traits of authenticity, traceability, authenticity, the unbreakable bond-history-culture territory (territories-stories-culture) - Italy is not only in terms of growth, but also to give a creative contribution, specific and unique, to the multipolar globalization, multicultural and democratic multiproduttiva, which is necessary for the world, the comparison between the multiple coexisting diversity and coexistence.
For these reasons, the exploitation of local resources and local relations linking agriculture to other socio-economic components in the area is the only possible alternative - the most modern and innovative - the development model of uniformity which carries the current globalization. They're here
the root causes - structural, cultural and strategic - that make the GMOs are incompatible with our agriculture.
Beyond any other consideration relating to patent rights and not detrimental to health and the environment, GMOs are unacceptable, because it is not economically convenient.
This was well understood by most citizens and local administrators, so much so that, in Italy, three quarters of the regions and a growing number of municipalities (about 3,000 in the last two years, with the prospect di arrivare presto a 5.000) si sono dichiarati “liberi da Ogm”, evidenziando una consapevolezza che non lascia adito a dubbi.
Gli Ogm sono infatti espressione di un modello di sviluppo fondato sull’appiattimento e sull’omologazione dell’agricoltura al servizio di logiche industriali, antitetico a quello necessario al nostro Paese, che ha bisogno non di cancellare, ma di esaltare le proprie peculiarità e, quindi, le caratteristiche di varietà che rendono il nostro sistema agroalimentare unico nel mondo.
Lo stesso principio vale per l’UE: ciascuno dei 25 Paesi che la compongono, e l’Unione nel suo insieme, hanno tutto da guadagnare nella differenziazione e rafforzamento delle proprie specificità in food production, more so in the context of increasing global competition.
The principle of self-centered agricultural development is also vital for the countries of the Third World. Only focusing on the exploitation of indigenous resources (variety of soils, climates, cultures, cultures and traditions), they can break the chain of "development of underdevelopment" and help the protagonists to harness globalization and shared.
The Italian food industry has the opportunity to achieve a historic breakthrough, becoming the nation's strategic driving force of development and enabling it to play a leading role with respect to European countries and worldwide. The
current favorable conditions allow to create other slides. Never before has a political project can and should be integrated, designed to protect and enhance the role and the different regional identities of our agriculture, and to construct, for each of them, a tenet in the "global space" to be defined on a global scale.
need a profound rethinking of national and regional policies, the scope of which will no longer be sectoral, but territorial.
will be vital to the role of national and regional policies that, by joining to the EU (CAP and rural development policies), will allow government intervention to modulate depending on the characteristics and possibilities of development of different forms of agriculture in the area. Especially
be of essential importance that, within the general economic policies, to better take into account the implications and the role of economic, social and environmental impacts that agriculture can play.
In particular, agriculture must be the core of a broader pattern of land use of all policies relating to rural areas and local systems: the policies of the recovery peri-urban areas, those of the revitalization of areas and mountain , the environmental and energy policies for the implementation of Kyoto Protocol.
Because farming is increasingly influenced by the dominance of big oligopolists, which impose the prices of inputs and agricultural products, at the expense both farmers, whose income levels are increasingly compressed, both citizens as "consumers" - especially those of the weaker - that are forced to buy products that are more uniform at higher and higher prices.
The majority of farmers are now forced to produce only with respect to the standards imposed by the industry and thus to weaken the relationship with the land and to increase the distance from the consumer.
The weakening of these relationships creates imbalances in the absence of a prompt response policy, intended to produce irreversible effects in the determination of future patterns of socio-economic development.
must therefore work to ensure that farmers and the public "consumers" have real chance to make their interests converge and become, together, the protagonists of a new and more equitable development model based on the values \u200b\u200blocal agriculture.
In particular: the strong complementary relationship that ties farmers, consumers and modern distribution should result in a strong social pact, aimed at a model of agriculture that is consistent with the interests of community and no longer predominantly regulated according to the logic of profit of big oligopolists.
opens a big way for the future of agriculture and the country. You can travel with confidence because it is now time to build moments of unity of action on key issues, including organizations of farmers, consumers, environmentalism, sectoral distribution, trade, crafts, science, culture - notwithstanding the historical peculiarities of each subject.
In this context, the multifunctional nature of agricultural resembles the role of the cell in the body: more essa è sana e dinamica, e interagisce efficacemente con le altre, più l’intero organismo è vitale.
Proprio di questo ha bisogno l’Italia.
