Analisi del voto: le iniziative ecologiche spesso falliscono a causa della resistenza degli agricoltori svizzeri

From my discussions with them, they don’t really understand, or care about the initiatives. What I get is usually:

* They don’t want to be told what to do by “the people from the cities”
* They believe they know better how to care for the soil, animals, and biodiversity than those who have spent their time learning theory in universities.
* Tradition matters—a lot of them say, “If it worked for my father without problems, why should I change?
* Organic farming is for weak hipsters from the city. Real men drink pesticide directly from the source and are unaffected

Note it’s not all of them, many of them are progressive. Mostly the one who have direct producers – customers relationships, such as the wine makers: many changed the way they work to be more sustainable and use minimal intervention.
