During the first couple of weeks of November we spent a little bit of time with the 7 presidents of the ANGA association of the Veneto Region in Northern Italy. (National Association of Young Farmers). Seven presidents for seven provinces of the Veneto Region in Northern Italy; Verona, Padova, Treviso, Venezia, Rovigo, Vicenza and Belluno. Time well spent as posted not long ago on our Facebook page in a brief article.
Last week we were invited by "Confagricoltura" at the 119th edition of FieraCavalli in Verona. Confagricoltura Veneto has organized this year a stand where a study on the industry, conducted in collaboration with "CGIA" from Mestre, was presented. Confagricoltura President "Lodovico Giustiniani", together with the President of the "Ente Fiera" Maurizio Danese, and the President of Confagricoltura Verona "Paolo Ferrarese" welcomed for the occasion the undersecretary for Agriculture "Giuseppe Castiglione". Giuseppe Castiglione sits on the European Parliament's Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development.
You always hear about agriculture being in trouble in the last few years, prices rising, costs becoming prohibitive... So we went off to Venice to find out for ourselves what this is all about.
A day spent with Confagricoltura Veneto, Agrinsieme and Cia, on the streets of Venice. Here is an Extract of the official Press Communication from Edoardo Comiotto, head of Press office at Confagricoltura Veneto and if you wish to now more visit their website www.confagricolturaveneto.it
