It is an absolutely innovative plan from a technological point of view, so we have an excellent chance of winning this challenge».

With him he illustrated the actions of the plan developed by the regional agency with the collaboration of the University of Sassari , the Phytosanitary Service of the Agriculture Department and the FAO.
