"The depopulation of internal and mountain areas can be countered by agricultural regeneration. And innovative productions can provide employment opportunities for young people." This is one of the solutions suggested by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella to counter the depopulation of internal areas , a phenomenon that affects some Italian regions, including Sardinia.

The Head of State sent a message on the subject to the President of the Confederation of Italian Farmers (CIA), on the occasion of the assembly of members.

In his message, Mattarella explained that young people who decide to undertake agricultural activity through innovative production, which represents a possible solution to depopulation, " must be guaranteed fair compensation, forcefully opposing the forms of exploitation that reach a peak of unacceptable illegality in the gangmaster system."

And again, the President of the Republic stated, " the whole society must be aware of and support the commitment of agricultural producers. The healthiness of the foods we eat, the quality of products destined for the market, the integrity and care of territories that constitute our beauty and wealth pass - concluded Mattarella - from the daily work and planning capabilities of the world of agriculture".
