Learning objectives

The course aims to analyse the main characteristics of the agri-food system, which represents one of the most important sectors of the economy in terms of production, employment and trade in Italy. It has the objective of encouraging understanding of decision-making and organizational processes in the context of agro-food chains and clusters. It will increase the knowledge on agro-food corporate and cooperative strategies in relation to the changes of the economic-social context and consumer expectations. At the end of the course, new skills will be acquired in knowing how to analyse the specific and most current dynamics of agri-food clusters, in particular in terms of innovation, sustainability, health, safety, tradition. Public and social purposes of agri-food clusters (for example in terms of environmental impact, nutrition and intellectual property rights) will be outlined.

Prerequisites and basic notions

No particular prior knowledge is required

Program

The course is designed to introduce the typical contents of analysis and management of agro-food districts and is composed of two strands: 1) the theoretical approach of districts and 2) the declination of classic districts to the agro-industrial district. The topics covered within the first strand are attributable to: - Classical approach (Porter, Marshall, etc.) of the industrial district - Becattini's contribution to the study of the industrial district - The French school of the Paniers de Biens Territorialisés - The UNIDO revisitation of the theory of districts. The topics covered within the second strand are attributable to: - The evolution of the CAP: diachronic vision - Definition of territory as the fulcrum of analysis of the agro-industrial district - Territorial marketing and terroir marketing: the role of certifications - Intra- and inter-sectoral analysis of the district from an agribusiness perspective - Best- and worst-practices. An end-of-course excursion is being defined to transfer the concepts learned to a district. virtuous agro-industrial proximity
