La sostenibiltà della filiera agroalimentare . Un modello per l'efficienza dell'organizzazione distributiva su scala locale

Abstract

La ricerca si inserisce nel dibattito sulla sostenibilità dei sistemi agroalimentari e sulle politiche in grado di supportarli in un’ottica di sviluppo locale. Il lavoro si pone un duplice obiettivo. Da un lato, la costruzione di un modello per la valutazione del livello di sostenibilità delle filiere agroalimentari, fondato teoricamente e applicabile empiricamente. Dall’altro, la proposizione di uno strumento in grado di guidare la definizione delle politiche utilizzando come metro di giudizio il livello di sostenibilità. Per fare ciò, ci si è dapprima concentrati sulla concettualizzazione della sostenibilità delle filiere nelle sue tre dimensioni – ambiente, società ed economia. Una volta affrontata la scelta del sistema territoriale all’interno del quale inscrivere l’analisi, si è quindi strutturato un modello gerarchico che, partendo dai concetti oggetto di misura, conduce all’individuazione delle dimensioni, delle variabili e degli indicatori da valutare. Di questo modello la tesi propone una prima applicazione empirica che, tramite il calcolo di indici, aggregati poi in coefficienti di sostenibilità, mira a confrontare tre diverse forme di filiera all’interno della provincia di Viterbo: la grande distribuzione, la vendita al dettaglio e la filiera corta. I risultati ottenuti funzionano da input per un modello di programmazione matematica, volto a individuare la combinazione di filiere che massimizza il livello di sostenibilità globale del sistema agroalimentare locale. Il risultato, sintetizzato nella cosiddetta “carta delle politiche”, è uno strumento in grado di guidare la scelta del decisore locale fra le alternative individuate dal modello, potenzialmente utilizzabile come supporto per l’impostazione delle strategie locali in materia. This Phd thesis is about food systems’ sustainability and the policies to support them in a local development perspective. The objective is twofold. On the one hand, the aim is to build up a model for the assessment of food chains sustainability, which is based on the theory and empirically applicable. On the other hand, we want to develop a tool for the definition of policies in food matters based on the level of sustainability of food chains. To do that, the first part of the research focuses on the conceptualization of the three dimensions of food supply chain sustainability - environment, society and economy. Then, the choice of the territorial system in which the analysis should be inscribed is discussed. On these basis, we build up a hierarchical model that, starting from the concepts, leads to the identification of dimensions, variables and sustainability indicators to be assessed. The research proposes a first empirical application of this model. Indicators are calculated and aggregated into coefficients that measure the sustainability level of three different types of food chains within the province of Viterbo: large scale retail, small stores and the short chain. These results are used as an input to a mathematical programming model, in order to identify the combination of food chains which is able to maximize the overall level of sustainability of the local food system. The outputs are summarized in a visual representation with the aim to give local decision-makers a easier tool for selecting the better solution among the alternatives offered by the model. This tool might be very useful to support the setting of local strategies in food chain matters. Dottorato di ricerca in Economia e territorio
