Heat Pressure on Italian Food: A severe heatwave is hitting Italy’s seafood supply at the Po delta, with lagoon temperatures around 32°C killing up to 90% of clams in the Sacca di Goro and worsening oxygen levels and algae growth; it also follows an earlier threat from invasive blue crabs that tear into shellfish and damage nets. Parmigiano Reggiano Under Strain: In Emilia-Romagna, extreme heat is cutting cow milk output by as much as 10% and raising costs for cooling and aging warehouses, threatening the production base of the Parmigiano Reggiano system. EU Agri-Food Promotion Fight: Ten EU countries led by Italy are urging the Commission not to cut 2027 funding for agri-food promotion programmes, warning that lower budgets could weaken market diversification and operator resilience amid volatility. Carbon Credits Push: Mundys’ Neya unit is expanding high-integrity carbon removal credits to tackle residual emissions from airports and transport, aiming for net-zero Scope 1 and 2 by 2040. Aquaculture/Ag Tech: Italian hatchery Capetta is deploying automated chick sexing (WingScan) to reduce labor strain and improve welfare versus manual handling.
