    Lo scenario competitivo di riferimento per l’agricoltura campana deve tener conto delle crescenti istanze di sostenibilità ambientale, economica, territoriale e sociale, dell’evoluzione delle politiche dell’Unione europea e delle politiche di settore. Nella sfida competitiva acquisiscono, inoltre, una crescente importanza gli accordi multilaterali (WTO) e le forme di integrazione regionali, tra le quali rileva l’area di libero scambio con i Paesi terzi mediterranei. Tale contributo, partendo dall’analisi delle fonti bibliografiche per la comprensione degli effetti dell’area di libero scambio Euro-mediterranea sulle produzioni agroalimentari, offre una disamina del trade tra Campania e Paesi terzi mediterranei avvalendosi di indicatori di RCA (Revelead Comparative Advantage) che evidenziano le produzioni per le quali la Campania vanta un vantaggio competitivo rispetto alle altre regioni italiane nel commercio agroalimentare. I risultati della verifica empirica, mostrano una crescente importanza dello sviluppo del trade nel comparto agroalimentare tra Campania e Paesi terzi mediterranei e la rilevanza strategica che acquisiscono gli elementi di competitività “no price” delle produzioni campane nei Paesi terzi mediterranei

    Sustainable consumption: How does social media affect food choices?

    No full text
    Social networks both negatively and positively affect a consumer's behaviour and awareness of sustainable consumption. This research aims to interpret the multifaceted relationship between social media information and sustainable consumption in terms of food choices, environmental awareness, and consumer information, which is the novel contribution of this study. A survey of 162 individuals in Benevento, Italy, revealed how information from social media is linked to non-sustainable food behaviour. That is, variables that positively affect the probability that information is obtained through social networks are linked to behaviours that could be unsustainable from an environmental perspective. Moreover, among the new findings is the result that social media tends to create homogenised consumption, which, in many cases, is an attitude that depletes the environment. Limitations of this study and the results obtained outline future research directions

    The economic sustainability of bluefin production is strictly correlated to the increasing protection of environmental sustainability of the sector, regulated at international level through the quota instrument. The studies conducted recently, have opened discussions on the division of the total allowable catch (TAC) considering the opportunity of establishing a new allocation of the (TAC) in favour of the other hemisphere, determining the reduction of bluefin production in the Mediterranean sea. This paper begin with a theoretical discussion of the quota as an instrument of the policy maker and then focuses on the microeconomic effects that a possible change in its allocation could have on the profit of bluefin producers. The theoretical analysis shows that the actual equilibrium between economical and environmental sustainability could be subjected to progressive changes, which, if not corrected with adequate strategies, will always be to the disadvantage of the first. Dealing with this reduction, in order to remain on the market, would be possible only if they are able to maintain the prooftability of this production through the use of appropriate strategies aimed to increase the value of the Mediterranean bluefin. These strategies would favour the establishment of a new equilibrium between the economical and the environmental sustainability. In the actual scenario the latter arises strongly and it is important to evaluate the opportunity of fi nding new tools in order to be competitive on the market. Therefore, in this paper, after showing the peculiarities of the Mediterranean bluefin, we have analysed the more appropriated strategies to increase the added value of this typology of territorial bluefin production in the area where it is concentrated and where, since the ancient time, there is a consolidated tradition in the production and consumption of this product

    This work is articulated in several different steps: the description of the type of species chosen, the analysis of fish consumer demand and the added value that comes from local identity and from the culture of production and consumption. The outcome of these results form the base to define the valorization strategies to adopt. This research was conducted in the Lazio region. After a preliminary analysis of Lazio’s fish export towards EU 27, compared to exports of other Italian regions towards the EU 27, the Lazio region did not show a competitive advantage in this sector. The empirical analysis conducted on local consumers showed a local fish culture on a consumption that, together with fishing methods, local fish consumption and production characteristics, suggested a valorization strategy based on the territorial identity factors

    The urban garden is a plot of land situated in an urban area which is used for the production of flowers, fruit, vegetables, etc..It can be considered as the expression of a more general process of changing needs. The idea within this paper is that the urban gardens are the expression of a more general evolution process of the environmental, social and economic needs In Italy the urban gardens are developing through both public and private initiatives. Starting from the concept of the urban garden and evaluating its historical and structural evolution, this paper analyses the data obtained from a survey distributed to Neapolitan farmers with the aim of highlighting the environmental, social and economic features of urban gardens. In addition, a SWOT analysis was performed in order to assess the advantages, the criticalities and opportunities of urban horticulture practices. The project was created with the aim of developing a common decision-making path for a new concept of the urban area in accordance with farmers
