Disinfectors at work in the areas of Sardinia struggling with yet another invasion of grasshoppers . But the situation appears "unstoppable" and threatens new areas.
Farmers, increasingly worried and embittered, complain: " Four years of inertia , now those responsible are out".
And even the associations of the sector are furious. Starting with the CIA , which estimates that grasshoppers are devastating about 24 thousand hectares of land .
"The state of the Sardinian primary sector, whose problems are regularly ignored by Sardinian and national politics, has also caused the failure to cultivate part of the land, favoring, among the many problems, the proliferation of the presence of grasshoppers - reads a note from the association -. An invasive and destructive phenomenon that today we believe it is necessary to fight with products that do not cause damage to crops and livestock, in full respect and complete protection of Sardinian products as well as of final consumers ". "The announced invasion of grasshoppers - continues the CIA - is only the tip of the iceberg of the difficulties facing the Sardinian agricultural sector , constantly grappling with problems that should have been solved for some time, not least is the example of blue tongue last summer ".
