Blockchain and Food Trust
Blockchain is increasingly used in agri‐food supply chains to make products more transparent and trustworthy. Yet, in countries like Italy, where certifications such as PDO, PGI, and organic labels already shape consumer confidence, its added value is still unclear. This study examines how Italian consumers understand and evaluate blockchain‐based traceability, exploring their awareness, trust, and willingness to pay for verified food products. A…

Meat production and consumption also play a significant role in the management and marketing of food tourism.

The results show the meat identity of both restaurants and reveal how meat-based men…
Joint production and multifunctionality in agriculture
Starting in the 1970s, agriculture in Western countries began to progressively lose the critical success factors on which it based its competitive advantage, which was localization. The development of both the food industry and organized distribution, the intensification of trade, and the speed of information transfer led to new needs and new scenarios within which new agricultural systems emerged. This research analyzed the changes imposed on th…

Drawing on the close relationships between places and souvenirs, this paper analyses cheese as a food souvenir in the island of Sicily. The method is based on a qualitative design which includes visits and interviews with local …
