The production and distribution of food are among the hot topics debated in context sustainable development. Short supply chains (SFSCs) now widely believed to be more comparison mass delivery systems. To date, very little quantitative evidence exists on impacts various types chains. Using a cross-sectional approach, this study assesses sustainability channels short long based 208 producers across seven countries: France, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, United Kingdom, Vietnam. Ten channel...
The global meat production system is currently under pressure, particularly for its environmental and animal wellbeing impacts, as well the increasing protein demand worldwide. In this regard, cultured a hot topic in industrial, political, societal arenas, revealing itself potential relief issues above. However, high degree of novelty may hamper extent consumers’ acceptance. This research assesses which beliefs concerning intrinsic attributes positive externalities, provision information...
Recent literature has highlighted the importance of testing sustainability performances supply chains. Nevertheless, this field research is still in its early stages, particular with reference to short food chains (SFSCs). This analyzed producers’ and consumers’ perception economic, social environmental two SFSCs a specific quality cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano PDO) placed different contexts: first rural area Appennino Tosco-Emiliano National Park mountains second peri-urban Parma...
Within the framework of multifunctional conceptualisation, authors have investigated level public goods embedded in Agri-food geographical indication products. Moving from concept local system, generation are observed both on value chain and territory. Three different dimensions considered: Cultural heritage issues, socio-economic themes, natural resources. To pursue this aim, FAO-SAFA method is adopted. A single index for three computed order to provide an easy quick interpretation...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the determinants and impact some more significant innovations applied localised agri-food systems (LAFSs) bearing a (Geographical indication) GI product, considering multi-faceted aspects innovation how producers have managed implementation such innovations. Design/methodology/approach Parmigiano Reggiano (PR) system considered as representative with showing features an LAFS in terms governance, territorial reputation quality perceived by...
Geographical Indications (GIs) are examples of food production that leans towards sustainability through management rules laid down by consortia and a Code Specifications (CoS) guides good practices. The objective this paper is to develop methodology grounded in the European union horizon 2020 Strength2food (S2F) project, which can measure extent GI systems contribute fulfilment Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). analysis comprises three stages. first two use S2F methodology: i)...
Sustainability is becoming a pivotal guide for driving the governance strategies of value chains. Sustainable policy should have as its objective perpetuation production models over time to maintain environmental, economic and social dimensions. Therefore, measuring sustainability system fundamental deepening understanding ongoing trends, considering pressure exerted by agricultural policies, market dynamics innovations introduced in system. The purpose this paper present holistic framework...

Most studies of Localised Agri-Food Systems ( LAFS) focus on the localised concentration members and firms, pay less attention to organisational factors, particularly those an exogenous nature. This paper focuses role organisation in a LAFS, assessing efficacy EU measures aimed at strengthening supply from recent CAP reform 2014-2020. The has three sections. Part One describes evolution concept LAFS. Two examines leading played by institutions organising relationships between firms example...
Sustainable development in mountain areas faces numerous socioenvironmental and economic challenges that public institutions have sought to address for decades. The EU is increasingly demanding Higher Education Institutions be more socially relevant responsible addressing the needs of these often-underserved communities. To this end, one central principle Erasmus+ Project 2014–2020, also consolidated by Programme 2021–2027, has been enhance development, transfer, implementation innovative...
The industrial district theory has brought to the development economics opportunity interpret economic change through places, where it actually is formed, as a result of join action local and extra-local social, institutional forces. This paper sets out discuss contribution that can make debate on spatial dynamics agri-food systems in age globalisation. To this end, first part analyses approach relationship between industry territory; second studies evolution concept system main determinants...
Sustainability, as well a concept related to development model, is becoming real guide drive the governance choices of value chains. A sustainable policy has objective perpetuating production models over time while maintaining environmental, economic and social dimensions that characterize given process. It therefore important measure sustainability system in its components understand ongoing trends under pressure agricultural policies, market dynamics innovation pattern introduced along...
Typical products can contribute to socio-economic development of their place origin if they are able take part in the logic global market. The aim this research is examine one type innovation, use PDO as ingredients, a strategy re-launch which have mature evolution concept innovation discussed; then considered relation product life cycle and information asymmetry. There case study on Parmigiano Reggiano cheese an ingredient industrial processing. This shows that even incremental serious...
Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, especially the most energetic UV-C band, is one of major variables that negatively affects materials performance in space environment. Our work focused on design and fabrication novel nanocomposite films combine highly conductive graphene nanoplatelets biological UV-sensitive molecules, which can be used to measure effects radiation exposure real time. UV sensor were deposited samples made space-grade reinforced composites, are generally spacecraft...
The debate around Organic Agriculture, Agroecology, and Alternative Food Networks shows that sustainable food systems have to be socially sustainable, economically attractive for producers valuable consumers, as well environmentally friendly. This paper presents an ongoing project regarding organic district in the Province of Parma Italy, modeled Agroecology a Local Agri-food System (ALAS), which is based on integration agriculture techniques with agroecology principles. To this aim, main...
Summary Intellectual Property Rights ( IPR s) are an important issue in the negotiations between United States US ) and European Union EU for a Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership TTIP currently underway. However, Geographical Indications GI one of most disputed topics because, decades, have each led two seemingly irreconcilable camps on how to address protection s at international level. Agreeing trade raises issues related four dimensions system, which likely become ever more...
Summary In the European context, geographical indications (GIs) are tools that contribute to achievement of rural development policy objectives. this article, we propose GI value chains produce positive environmental, social and economic benefits, defined as Public Goods (PGs), resulting from rules in Code Specifications (CoS). This article reports main results Strength2food H2020 project, designed assessing impact GIs (through their CoSs) on agri‐food system sustainability. Specifically,...
