Productivity and Emissions in Italian Agriculture
Achieving the European Union climate‐neutrality objectives requires metrics that jointly assess farm productivity and greenhouse gas emissions at a granular level. However, harmonized evidence for benchmarking the productivity–emissions nexus of Italian farms remains limited. This study quantifies undesirable outputs, measured as CO 2 ‐equivalent emissions, generated by Italian farms and derives attainable eco‐efficiency benchmarks. We apply a fa…
Beyond the plate
Purpose Cell-based meat is currently one of the most debated food sources of recent decades, as it involves cultivating animal-derived biological tissues in controlled environments. Opinions on this topic vary widely; some see this nutritional source as a strategy to address the sustainability challenges of the agri-food sector, while others perceive it as a potential negative impact on their culture and traditions. In this context, this study ai…
The economic sustainability of Italian aquaculture farms
The European policy objectives, aligned with the Green Deal, focus on strengthening the aquaculture sector’s resilience, competitiveness, and sustainability. In this regard, the present work explores whether aquaculture companies are prepared to embrace the blue transition and invest in new practices and technologies. The study examines the case of Italian aquaculture by analyzing the financial performance of various companies through Altman’s Z’…
Circular aquaculture
The aquaculture sector holds strong potential to become a driving force in the blue transformation journey. As the push for sustainability intensifies, future development increasingly points toward models grounded in circular economy principles. However, the adoption of such models remains limited, hindered by the evolving nature of European aquaculture policy and the absence of a clear and consolidated vision of relevant strategies. Advancing ci…
Voices in the loop
The circular economy has emerged as a viable alternative to the existing linear model for achieving sustainable food production and consumption. To identify the present structure of the circular economy at the policy level within the food sector, we engaged individuals involved in policymaking, referred to as a policy network. This paper presents the primary perspectives of the policy network on the adaptation and implementation of circular food …
Technological innovation in fisheries and aquaculture
This paper aims to explore the point of view of experts of the Italian policy network of the fisheries and aquaculture sectors on technological innovation. This type of research is still very recent and unexplored, and it is important to stress that most studies have been conducted to primarily analyze the point of view of producers. Over the past decades, there has been a growing recognition that the adoption of new technological innovation in t…
Circular economy in aquaculture
Purpose This study investigates the views of Italian aquaculture production science students, in their role of future operators, on the application of circular economy strategies. Design/methodology/approach A key step in the development of professional knowledge is to solicit the opinions of the future operators in the aquaculture sector. The authors used the Q methodology to assess the perceptions of the students on four different knowledge dim…
Contextualising digitalisation through ambidexterity and new territorial proximities
Public health risk management during the Covid-19 pandemic, new amendments in the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund to meet fishers’ needs
The recent COVID-19 emergency has shaped economic performance across all sectors, and the fisheries and aquaculture sector did not come out unscathed. The need to protect against risks has always been primary for economic operators, but COVID-19 has accentuated the need to obtain coverage for health risks. In this regard, the European Union has moved quickly with an amendment art. 35 of European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (Regulation [EU] No. 50…
