The Role of Governments in the Xylella Fastidiosa Crisis
ALICANTE/BARI – Southern Europe, especially Italy and Spain, is facing a growing environmental crisis — the rapid desiccation of olives as well as other kinds of trees.

In Spain, regional governments have adopted very different measures in response to tree epidemics, and farmers are divided in their opinions about them.
