La sostenibilità delle filiere agroalimentari tra esigenze di governance e impazienze innovative [The sustainability of agri-food chains between governance needs and innovative impatience]

Abstract

This article proposes a general reflection on the issue of sustainability of the agri-food supply chain which, without any claim to being exhaustive, aims to provide elements for further reflection in the light of the new regulations that have emerged on the subject. From the model of the multilevel discipline of agri-food law, those objectives pursued by European and international policies, aimed at ensuring sustainable food production systems, will be taken and analysed. In particular, reference will be made to the Alternative Agrifood Networks in the multiplicity of forms that characterise them, taking care to highlight the opportunities provided by the sedimentation of short supply chains. Finally, the Triple Bottom Line will be presented as an innovative model able to implement agrifood sustainability in the perspective of the green transition.
