| This paper examines two models of interaction between private and public institutions in respect to the process of innovation. While private firms adopt proactive strategies and public institutions follow it is considered that, under certain conditions, public institutions are the innovator and private firms are the followers. The first part of the research is theoretical and formulates the two models and their implications. The second part presents a case study of Italian products which have Animal Welfare (AW) attributes, where production follows the second relationship model. The case study shows that AW friendly products are the result of EU legislation, which obliges the industry to adapt production, organisation, publicity, communication and... |

| Quality is a key factor when consumers choose agri-food products, but at the same time is difficult for them to assess. On the demand side, consumers require protection measures, and on the supply side, efficient communications need to be available to all operators, including those who cannot afford to supply their own. In this context, quality markers such as logos, brands and indications or denominations that distinguish a product from its competitors can be a strategic way of transmitting information, especially for firms which cannot afford resources for communications or their own brand name. This research analyses and assesses the role of brands and territorial markers (PDO, PGI) in enhancing and promoting “very fresh” food products, in particular... |

| The goal of this paper is to provide information about the progress, over the last 10 years, of mathematical programming for analysis of the behaviour of farm producers under the European Union Common Agricultural Policy. We show in detail the evolution of mathematical programming and how this methodology can be applied at different levels (regions or sectors) for the main CAP policies. The evolution of mathematical programming is shown by the emergence of a new group of supply and equilibrium models, "Positive Mathematical Programming" (PMP) and "Symmetric Positive Equilibrium Problems". (SPEP) SPEP was developed in order to solve problems posed by the lack of data and the need for methodologies to represent different farm typologies in different... |

| The present study intends to shed light, both from a descriptive and investigative point of view on the dietary evolution taking place in Europe during last 45 years, using secondary data from FAO FBS, which can cover the entire time span considered and allow for several extrapolation and timeseries analysis, differently than single survey data.. After a clustering of selected european national diets, using specific metrics with respect both to internal and external variety (as measured by appropriate indicators), we intended to check the actual distance that average, national diets have in front of the so called Food Pyramid, which consists in a balance of several food items in adequate proportions and in fact glorifies the healthy virtues of the... |

| The paper approaches the problem of assessing the impacts of market and rural development policies oriented at stimulating the growth and spread of organic farming in Italy. From the methodological perspective, an innovative formulation of Pmp is presented and discussed; it is applied to a set of farms belonging to the FADN sample, specifically located in Emilia Romagna and Sicily. The Pmp model has the capacity to estimate the impact of policies on crops not yet present at the time the farm data was recorded. From the empirical standpoint, various sets of policies are simulated on cluster of farms both conventional and in course of conversion in organic production. |

| The paper examines innovation in the agrifood sector through an analysis of relationships between public institutions and the private sector. The first part is theoretical and analyses the roles played by public and private actors in innovation. The second part is a case study of the beef supply chain of COOP, the biggest retailer on the Italian market. It exemplifies product innovation driven by a regulatory framework and shows how organisation and structural renewal required by animal welfare legislation can lead to voluntary initiatives and additional innovation along the supply chain. The case study also features the role of institutions in communications and shows how market awareness drives improvement in organisation of production chains. |
