The agrarian professional association Asociación Agricultores de Águilas - ASAJA Águilas has demanded that the Administrations and society as a whole recognize the farmers who are the "true guardians of the environment" and "the maximum defenders of the natural environment".
We need Ambassadors of "how much good we have"
Those responsible for ASAJA Águilas, in view of the smear campaign that farmers are suffering, highlight that "the professionals of the primary sector of Águilas are environmental defenders, and we firmly believe that it is vital and of the utmost importance to find great Ambassadors of the good that we have, to enrich much more the competitiveness and the profitability of the agro-alimentary sector aquiline, and of all the Region of Murcia ".,
"We are aware that some farmers could do better and be more efficient in the management of their waste, hence we deeply regret that after the last rains have reached, among others, some agricultural waste to our beaches.
But that is not why we can generalize and demonize the entire agrarian sector, because a few do it badly, "says ASAJA Águilas.
Marine Garbage
"Marina de Cope has two realities: A good one as she is an agricultural worker who is respectful of the environment and generates employment and a better one: the cleaning of her coast and its waters.
Obviously the coexistence of both realities can generate some small interference that we must solve with a positive attitude ", comment the leaders of this entity.
"We represent a part of the self-employed farmers of the Cope Marina who are defended and we stand up for them, and are great protectors of the environment and the natural environment," they indicate from this organization.
Sentence of breaking bollards
"We took this opportunity to clearly condemn the breakage of the bollards that occurred this summer on the beaches of Marina de Cope.
It is not fair to be pointed with the finger of the way it has been done and that favors the criminalist image that you want to project from us from certain areas of the most radical environmentalism, "say those responsible for ASAJA Águilas.
Farmer of the Year
"Finally, we must point out that for many years we have chosen the farmer of the year together with those responsible for the marketing entities and the Ministry of Agriculture, based on selection criteria based on plant hygiene.
All this to promote the important role that our farmers play and how they participate directly and indirectly protecting the environment.
In our demands we are not alone, because we have the support of the traders, industrialists and hoteliers of Águilas, who know our work perfectly, and our deep respect for the environmental environment of our municipality. "
