Italy is the [b]strongest country in the world[\/b] for “distinctive” products, with 272 PDO and PGI products and 4,886 traditional regional specialities that safeguard biodiversity and defend tradition and employment.<\/p>\n
Italy is at the top of world food [b]safety[\/b].<\/p>\n
Italian agriculture is among the most [b]sustainable[\/b]: it emits 35% less greenhouse gas than the EU average.<\/p>\n
Italy has the largest network of farms and farmers’ markets selling directly at [b]zero food miles[\/b], cutting the pollution caused by transport.[\/i]\n
These records make us proud and encourage us to keep doing better, more and more, [b]joining forces[\/b] and making our voice heard loud and clear – the voice of the producers – because we know that [b]the biggest battles[\/b], those against the market, against speculation and against the never-sufficient attention from institutions, are not won alone, but always and only by [b]working together[\/b].
\n[b]Lazio[\/b] is a [b]strategic region[\/b] for Italian agri-food, and the regional [b]olive-growing sector[\/b], largely represented by our PO in terms of number of members and hectares of olive groves, is a fundamental [b]pillar[\/b] of our [b]economy[\/b] and an irreplaceable [b]safeguard[\/b] for our [b]territory[\/b].
\nThere are many battles that, in our region, we fight alongside [b]Coldiretti[\/b]; among them it is worth mentioning the [b]reform[\/b] of the [b]school canteen[\/b] tender model, so that it rewards not the lowest bid but the qualitatively better offer and local origin, or the [b]Roma PGI[\/b] project, a unique opportunity for Lazio and, at the same time, a powerful driving force for the whole world of Italian oil.
\nFor these reasons [b]OP LATIUM[\/b] invites all its members, [b]#OlivicoltoriDelLazio[\/b], to take a leading role on [b]Saturday 11 June 2016[\/b] at 9:00 AM in [b]Rome[\/b] at Pala Tiziano (Piazza Apollodoro, 10) for the Lazio leg of the tour organised across Italy by Coldiretti to give [b]visibility[\/b] to the farming sector: this is [b]a hugely important occasion[\/b] to highlight [b]Lazio’s olive-growing sector[\/b] and its central role, not only in production but also environmentally, socially and culturally.<\/p>\n
