L’articolo riguarda le diverse forme di produzione agroalimentare e gli attuali sviluppi delle Alternative Food Networks. All’iniziale spontaneismo che caratterizza in molti casi la diffusione di queste esperienze, spinte dal consumo critico, negli ultimi anni si sono affiancati tentativi di riorganizzazione del sistema locale del cibo nell’ambito dei cosiddetti Food Policy Councils, attuati da istituzioni locali per sostenere pratiche alternative già esistenti. Valorizzare il sistema agroalimentare locale, infatti, può (ri)creare sinergie tra le attività educative, economiche, sociali e di protezione dell’ambiente. L’articolo ripercorre il dibattito che negli ultimi anni si è articolato attorno alle Alternative Food Networks in ambito europeo e nordamericano, soffermandosi su alcuni tentativi di avviare esperienze di Food Policy Councils in atto nel nostro Paese.

Abstract
Food, sustainability and territory. From Alternative Food Networks to Food Policy Councils - The article discusses the different forms of food production and the current development of Alternative Food Networks. The initial spontaneity that in many cases characterized the spread of these experiences, driven by critical consumption, has been joined over recent years by attempts to reorganize the local food system by creating Food Policy Councils, implemented by local institutions to support existing alternative practices. Enhancing the local food system may, in fact, (re)create synergies between activities that pertain to education, the economic and social spheres, as well as that of environmental protection. The article reviews the debate that has developed over recent years in Europe and North America around Alternative Food Networks, focusing on some recent attempts in place in Italy to develop Food Policy Councils.File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
