This Act, consisting of 19 articles, in compliance with the Sicilian Statute, national and European law and implementing article 14 (a) of the Sicilian Statute, aims at increasing the minimum level of health and environmental protection ensured by the national law, and therefore provides for: the protection of human health, the natural environment, the biodiversity, the ecosystems and agricultural activities; the fight against desertification, hydrogeological risk and fires; the protection of Sicilian agricultural products and all related production sectors; an agro-forestry-pastoral model conforming to the criteria of agroecology; an efficient control and verification service in the agri-food sector. What is more, the Act enhances the transition towards a development model consistent with the European Green new Deal and implements programmes and plans concerning rural development.
