Cultiva Italia, resources also for generational turnover, wine tourism, controls and research

Over 1.1 billion euros to strengthen Italian agriculture. The “Coltiva Italia” provision, the flagship measure of the Government's action in agriculture, was definitively approved this morning in the Senate.

The highlight is first and foremost the Strategy for Food Sovereignty which will be able to count on an allocation of 970 million euros. Of these, 70 will be allocated to a Food Sovereignty Fund which will from time to time support supply chains in difficulty (soft wheat, barley, corn and vegetable proteins).

The Strategy will then be able to count on three separate budgets of 300 million each which will be directed respectively to "Italian Farming", the National Olive Growing Plan and support for strategic supply chains. As regards "Allevamento Italia", the aim is to strengthen the production of national beef and the cow-calf line in order to reduce dependence on imports.

Another 300 million will be dedicated to the National Olive Oil Plan 2026-30 which aims to relaunch Italian olive oil production.

The third and final tranche of 300 million will be allocated to support strategic supply chains. The resources will be used to strengthen local supply chains and enhance the competitiveness of companies and support strategic agricultural crops.
