Il settore delle piante officinali risulta piuttosto frammentato, vincolando le imprese in termini di competitività, accesso al mercato e valorizzazione delle produzioni. Solo 4 Regioni hanno finanziato iniziative di collaborazione nei Psr 2014-2022: Emilia-Romagna, Toscana, Sardegna e Basilicata. In termini economici si tratta di 7,7 milioni di eu...
Negli ultimi anni, in Italia e non solo, il settore primario ha profondamento risentito dei cambiamenti climatici e di una crisi economica, legata principalmente a prezzi stagnanti e costi di produzione crescenti. Come conseguenza di tale situazione, si sta assistendo ad un rinnovato interesse verso produzioni agricole alternative, che si connotono...
Climate change is challenging in mountain areas, and initiatives to define resilience programs appear essential to face global warming impacts. Despite the participatory strategy being primarily considered the best solution to involve local actors in adopting resilience actions, the literature stresses how mountain dwellers, like farmers, are often...
Mountains can be described as socio-ecological systems (SESs), a complex set of relations that involve natural aspects and human communities. Mountains provide indispensable ecosystem services, but they are affected by climate change. For this, stakeholders’ initiatives to face global warming, particularly farmers, are essential and participatory s...
Mountain areas have been the testbed for sustainable development models focused on balancing their vulnerability and the value of their natural, cultural, and social resources. In these areas, the continuous adaptative interaction between bio-geophysical and socio-cultural processes assembles Socio-Ecological Systems (SES) characterized by a great...

Sedimentation has significant impacts on the useful capacity of an artificial reservoir, a resource to preserve. Interventions of dredging are therefore often unavoidable, even because decommissioning of dams is often impossible in many contexts and entails high costs. Dredging generates an undesired accumulation of materials that represent an envi...
No-tillage is a farming system aiming at minimizing soil disturbance associated with the cultivation of arable crops. This technique, together with the practices of continuous soil cover and of crop rotation, also represents one of the elements of the so called Conservation agriculture, a paradigm of sustainable agriculture that is spreading in man...

In particular, it focuses on the innovations induced by ICT in farms and in new rural firms, and on how digital infrastructures support and generate social innovation mechanisms, leading to the consolidation of entrepreneurs...
The greater market orientation of European dairy production, caused by the end of quota regime, is likely to have consequences on less favoured areas, where breeding of dairy cattle plays both a crucial socio-economic and environmental role. Within this new framework, endogenous factors determining spatial reorganisation of the sector are becoming...
Il caso di Castel del Giudice proposto nel saggio, mostrando diverse caratteristiche ricon-ducibili al paradigma dello sviluppo rurale "neo-endogeno", lascia intuire che il successo delle iniziative sperimentate nel piccolo comune del Molise e attribuibile alla (casuale) capacita di superamento dei limiti che il modello endogeno incontra nelle aree...

In the 2010-2012 period, almost 85% of the national expenditure and about 81% of European Union (EU) expenditure for this measure have been showered...

Purchases are still done in the traditional places (flower shops for cut flowers and plant nurseries for potted plants), however positive trend is found for potted plants p...
The importance of extrinsic and intrinsic attributes of wine for purchase decisions is the object of a lively debate. As a matter of fact, in recent decades, the shift of consumption motivations from nutritional purposes to drinking for pleasure has caused a persistent decrease in the overall demand.
