(ANSA) – ROVIGO, AUGUST 05 – “If there is a lack of wheat and corn, we must turn to other economies. Drought today is not only a problem on the shoulders of farmers, it is on the shoulders of all families who go to the supermarket they find food prices increased by more than 10%, so we absolutely must prevent the drought from turning into an economic wasteland. ” This was said this morning by the President of the Senate, Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati, who today in Polesine, in Crespino (Rovigo), at the invitation of Confagricoltura, took note of the dramatic situation of crops due to drought. “I am here – said the president of Palazzo Madama – to raise the alarm of farmers, to experience first hand the damage caused by drought in this area that has always been fertile, a granary in the Veneto”, added the president of the Senate. “The State – said Casellati – has a duty to meet this serious emergency, not only by supplementing the income that farmers have lacked, but also by making a plan that invests in irrigation works, reservoirs and the canalization system.
With these measures, farmers must be guaranteed that water is always there and we must not say that water must come from the sky “. (ANSA).
