| Title: | "Organic District": identification methodology and agricultural policy objectives |
| Authors: | Pancino, Barbara

| Abstract: | Italy, unlike other countries, has included the
territorial dimension in the recent interventions and
regulations of organic agriculture, introducing explicitly the
concept of “organic district”. It is defined as a local productive
system with a high agricultural vocation where organic
production and processing practices are predominant. The
main object of this new subject is to promote the diffusion of
organic agriculture focusing on the productive and
environmental territorial characteristic.
In this poster, after a general definition of the organic
districts, as they are introduced in the Italian regulations, a
method for their identification in a region is proposed. In the
final part, some considerations about the role of the organic
district within the general framework of agro-environmental
policies are developed. |
