  • Societa' Italiana Di Economia Agraria
    SOCIETÀ ITALIANA DI ECONOMIA AGRARIA The future of agriculture between globalization and local markets 53rd Congress San Michele all’Adige|Bozen-Bolzano 22-24 September 2016 Agriculture is in the middle of a global debate on the benefits of open markets and free trade on the one hand and the ongoing trend to localize food production at the point of consumption on the other. Consumers are paying more attention to how and where the food they eat is produced. In addition, the globalized patterns of food production and consumption are criticized for their unsustainability which raises a fundamental question: Does the transition towards a more sustainable economy require fundamental changes in the way we produce food, how it is processed and where it is transported and consumed. Globalization and free trade agreements including agriculture bear the promise of welfare gains and increased competition. However, in the last decade agricultural markets have also become increasingly volatile due to increased international competition, the impacts of globalization, climate change, financial and economic crises, energy markets, and changing international trade relations as well as a concentration of large food retailers and a growing asymmetry in bargaining power within the food supply chain. At the same time, the demand structure for agricultural and food products has become much more complex. Consumers are becoming more aware and responsible, and attentive attributes related to the origin of their food, local and cultural identity, social standards and ethics as well as food security, environmental and health issues. When considering such economic, social and environmental developments, the political context and its evolution cannot be ignored.
