Italian food sovereignty is not
autarky, a term associated with Mussolini's policy of pursuing
economic self-sufficiency, Agriculture and Food Sovereignty
Minister Francesco Lollobrigida told the Senate Thursday.
"Food sovereignty is not autarchy, but the defence of our
production in the global market. Even in Macron's France there
is (a ministry for) 'food sovereignty'," Lollobrigida said at
question tie in the Upper House.
"We want to ensure supplies to our country'.
"This has precise effects in the daily lives of citizens," he
added, "and emphasises the need to initiate once and for all new
virtuous practices: producing according to parameters of respect
for the world of work, the environment and quality".
