Today we know that the soil is subjected to continuous and increasing environmental pressures that cause alarming and clear signs of its degradation and often the irreversible loss of its irreplaceable productive and environmental functions
The research world wanted to make its contribution to defending Italian soil, to manage it sustainably, and to increase the multifunctional productivity (agronomic, environmental, socio-economic) of the Italian landscape.
On January 24, Prof. Fabio Terribile was heard in the Senate at the joint Committees 9th (Agriculture and Agri-food Production) and 13th (Territory, Environment, Environmental Goods) of the Senate of the Republic, on the bills nn. 2383, 769, 991, 1181, and 1734 (soil consumption).
Fabio Terribile, as the Director of CRISP and a member of the presidency committee of AISSA – an association that unites the agricultural scientific societies in Italy – thus became the spokesperson for the Italian research world in the sectors of agriculture, forests, and agri-food.
The hearing on January 24 in Rome is an important milestone in a journey that has already seen the research world – two AISSA working groups coordinated by Fabio Terribile – engaged in drafting a text that later became the bill 1181 “Framework law for the protection and sustainable management of the soil.”
