In this study we analyze the hot spots and the relationships among the different stages of the agri food supply chain through a life cycle perspective. It emerges that potential unfair practices can affect both market competitiveness and environmental impacts. The main issue regards unsold food products which result in a loss of income for the producers. Furthermore, they are associated with the massive use of fertilizers as well as the consequent generation of emissions. This semi-structured analysis is composed of a series of interviews conducted with the producers and a literature review.

Abstract

In this study we analyze the hot spots and the relationships among the different stages of the agri food supply chain through a life cycle perspective. It emerges that potential unfair practices can affect both market competitiveness and environmental impacts. The main issue regards unsold food products which result in a loss of income for the producers. Furthermore, they are associated with the massive use of fertilizers as well as the consequent generation of emissions. This semi-structured analysis is composed of a series of interviews conducted with the producers and a literature review.
