A summary of this article:
1/ Italy transforms lot of food, but does not produce enough to self-sustain, according to the article.
2/ Some countries producing the food which get transformed (eg Kazakhstan/grain) restricted exports.
(Thread, 1/3)
4/ In many EU countries, there is a lack seasonal workers in agriculture.
(Agree; I find unacceptable to have in the same country both lack of work and lack of workers; subsidies should be conditional *when possible*)
