Catalonia’s farmers demand more help over drought

Catalonia’s farmers are facing a severe drought and are demanding more help from the government to mitigate its impact on their crops and livelihoods. The lack of sufficient rainfall has resulted in a significant decrease in water availability for irrigation, leading to decreased crop yields and financial losses for many farmers.

Farmers in Catalonia are calling for increased financial assistance, access to alternative water sources, and support for sustainable farming practices to cope with the challenges posed by the drought. They argue that without additional support, many agricultural businesses may be forced to shut down, further exacerbating the economic impact of the drought on the region.

The government of Catalonia has acknowledged the severity of the situation and has promised to work with farmers to address their concerns. However, many farmers are calling for more immediate and concrete action to help them weather the ongoing drought and ensure the future viability of agriculture in the region.
