Contingency and planning, serious and loyal and measurable commitments that will need to be answered in Sardinia . Coldiretti Sardegna launches an appeal to the candidates in the elections on 25 September next and to the entire political world, parties and movements "because it is a cross-cutting topic to which we must work in synergy, each according to the role they will occupy and in the different institutional levels ”In Europe , in Rome and Cagliari. Bureaucracy, climate change, expensive raw materials and energy, water, food: for the Sardinian agricultural world "these are fundamental issues" for the island "which, according to the latest survey - explains Coldiretti in the letter - risks losing a company out of 10 as it will close by the end of the year because it fails to make ends meet. The uncontrollable increases in raw materials and energy - continues the agricultural organization - have increased costs for some agricultural sectors by up to 500% (energy + 350%, feed + 150%, diesel + 350%, fertilizers + 170%) , sending haywire a sector that from Europe to the Region passing through the Council of Ministers they define as strategic for society ”.
" We need immediate and courageous choices - affirm the regional leaders of Coldiretti - but also far-sighted strategic policies that, beyond epochal events such as those we have been experiencing for two years now such as Covid and the war in Ukraine, are able to give a horizon to agricultural world today harnessed and suffocated by contingencies and by a suffocating and absurd bureaucracy which is taking the leadership among the enemies of good agriculture ".
"Unfortunately - continues Coldiretti - we are used to thinking exclusively about crises, instead the funds of the NRP, for example, must be destined for investments through a great infrastructural strategy. The moment we are experiencing no longer allows us ambiguity but above all ideas and unity. beyond the role: even in the distinction of political positions and roles, loyalty is needed towards Sardinia: the battle over insularity teaches us that in crucial moments we know how to march in the same direction, they look at the objective together. Agriculture is a sector with many multi-faceted, certainly difficult, with many historical difficulties and problems but at the same time fascinating, with great potential ".
