Abstract
The present Act lays down the legislative framework in matter of agriculture and stockfarming, taking into particular regard the need to ensure the protection of the environment. It proposes a shift toward sustainable, high-value agricultural practices and emphasizes the need for technical support, youth involvement, and improved training.
The law establishes a comprehensive legal framework covering registration of agricultural holdings, mandatory agricultural insurance, and various types of financial aid. These aids are designed to support traditional mountain farming practices, pasture maintenance, environmental restoration, and innovation. It also promotes the grouping of farmers for better commercialization and encourages the development of sustainable infrastructure. To ensure compliance and quality, the law outlines inspection and control mechanisms, including the roles of veterinary services and agricultural technicians. It classifies infractions into minor, serious, and very serious, with corresponding sanctions.
