L'agricoltura biologica nel PSR della regione Campania: una valutazione tramite supporto GIS
No full textIn questo studio, facendo ricorso al supporto GIS (Geophical Information System), sono stati analizzati i dati relativi all’applicazione della misura in favore dell’agricoltura biologica presente nel PSR della Regione Campania 2000-2006 per l’anno 2004 (primo anno di applicazione del programma). L’analisi condotta ha posto in evidenza come il supporto GIS possa essere di grande aiuto in questa tipologia di valutazione. Infatti, nel caso studio ha permesso di valutare in maniera abbastanza puntuale la congruità dello specifico intervento di politica comunitaria

Development and Management of a Bio-Energy Supply Chain Through Contract Farming
No full textThis paper discusses how to develop and manage integration, coordination and cooperation in bio-energy supply chains. Farmers decisions on whether or not to participate in a contract farming scheme have been investigated, particularly assessing the trade-offs between the contract attributes and their impact on the likelihood to participate. A stated preference model was implemented where respondents were asked to choose between alternative contracts with varying attribute levels to start biomass cultivation. Results show that participation is mainly influenced by minimum price guaranteed, contract length, and re-negotiation before the end of a contract
Promoting agro-energy supply chain as a collective action
No full textThe topic of integration and development of sustainable chains has lately gained much attention in the academia debates. In particular, how to manage integration in the bio-energy chains is discussed. Integration is a process of progressive dependence among different actors willing to coordinate processes of innovation. This dynamic is generated by the interaction of individuals willing to start up collective action. The effectiveness of a collective action depends on the number of formal norms developed by collective contracts. This paper tackles these issues considering the specific case study of a collective action in a bio-energy chain. It focuses on the decision-making process of farmers on whether to join or not a collective action, analysing their trade-offs over the attributes of collective contracts. The empirical study was conducted in an area in Southern Italy, most affected by soil erosion problems. A stated preference model was implemented where respondents were asked to choose between alternative collective contracts with varying attribute levels to start biomass cultivation. Two hundreds face-to-face questionnaires were administered to farmers in September-October 2013. First results show that participation is mainly influenced by minimum price guaranteed, contract length, and re-negotiation before the end of a contract
