Create a symbol to ensure the proximity of agri-food products in Navarra
- Companies that have a proximity mark and do not comply with the requirements of the new Short Way Foral Food Law will be fined. There must be no more than one mediator between the producer and the purchaser.
The Navarre Parliament has put in place a law to create a logo to enable customers to know that agri-food products are local. At the Committee on Development and the Environment, held on Wednesday, all parties were in favour of the initiative and, certainly, the new Short Way Foral Law for Food Marketing will be voted and adopted in plenary on 2 March.
The new label certifying this “short road” of the production chain will differentiate two types of food: on the one hand, direct selling between farmer and buyer and, on the other hand, the nearby sales chains formed by a producer and seller. In other words, there can be no transporters or other intermediaries.
In this way, the Foral Parliament wants to boost local organic production and consumption. At the same time, the register of short agri-food marketing routes will be renewed to allow the Government of Navarra to quantify local organic farming.
The competent bodies in the field of health and rural development, communities and municipalities are, for the most part, obliged to draw up guides to good health and hygiene practice within 18 months of the adoption of the law. The schemes shall determine the adaptations in the production, preparation, processing and marketing stages of food.
Companies that carry in their products the short-haul badge but do not respect the conditions of the intermediaries or any other legal entity shall be fined, according to an instance filed by EH Bildu.
The PSN, Geroa Bai, Ahal Duguk and Left-Ezkerra voted yes to the ten contributions of the Abertzale left party. Navarre Suma has voted against it in all cases and has presented 15 other instances that no one has supported.
The Sanmartines are well known in our homes, as it is time to kill the pig. However, many people will not know that before St. Martin's day marked the end of the agricultural year. And that was no nonsense. In fact, at the end of the year, I had to pay an annual rent to my... [+]
Are baserritars on vacation? They ask in school. The students have answered no. So, working every day, would you like to be baserritarra in the future? And if nobody wants to be a baserritarra, who is going to make food for us? The question stayed in the air.
For the health and... [+]
Much of the current left-wing movement, albeit intuitively, claims small-scale agriculture, without any doubt. However, this claim for smallness has its contradictions: a small farm, by definition, will not be able to produce a lot of food. And is that important? Well, in a... [+]
We have seen the peasants with power tractors, roads, bridges, blocking borders, and the heart made us “krak!” in solidarity, because we are also peasants children and brothers, because they are still striving to bring the farms ahead. We've heard protesters criticizing the... [+]
On 9 February, EHNE-Bizkaia and ENBA-Bizkaia, convened in Bilbao, held a concentration of demonstrations between the baserritars of Bizkaia and neighbours and neighbours who approached to show their solidarity. About a hundred tractors from different districts joined the area of... [+]
The presence in the city walks of a tractor that moves with ease and dexterity in the cornfields, causes a shock of images, an out-of-place device loses its elegance and strength in the city, just as the high-heel shoes lose when you see walking through the mountain. The change... [+]
