Maltese Farmer Challenges Government's Sustainability Claims Amidst Land Development Threat

Żurrieq Farmer Challenges Government's Food Sustainability Claims A young Maltese farmer, Annalisa Schembri, is questioning the government's commitment to food sustainability after learning her Żurrieq farmland is slated for road development. Schembri's fields, currently used for agriculture, are directly in the path of the proposed construction. "Unfortunately, I feel that they are just buzzwords that in reality aren't true at all," Schembri stated in a short video released by Lovin Malta. The video shows aerial shots of the planned development juxtaposed with footage of Schembri's active farmland, highlighting the direct impact of the project. The incident underscores a broader concern about the balance between development and the preservation of agricultural land in Malta. The full video, available on Lovin Malta's Facebook page, provides further details of the situation and includes interviews with additional stakeholders.
