Tridge summary

UPA-UCE Extremadura has identified a issue in the region's order for exceptional authorization for burning vegetable residues, which fails to include essential crops such as the vineyard, chestnut tree, and fig tree. The organization argues that these crops face diseases and pests, for which burning is an effective solution.
