      abstract = {The  agribusiness  sector  needs  substantial  funding  to   initiate  an  ecological  transition  involving  healthy   diets  and  the  creation  of  local  circuits  and   linkages.  One  sector  that  has  yet  to  be  studied   from  this  perspective  is  vending,  whose  importance   is  confirmed  by  its  profits,  especially  in  Italy.   At  present,  the  vending  sector  cannot  be  considered   sustainable  as  it  rarely  contributes  to  the   development  of  healthy  diets  and  local  economies   with  low  environmental  impact.  There  are  cases  of   products  with  suitable  characteristics  that  can  push   the  sector  towards  more  sustainable  dynamics,  but   such  products  often  do  not  achieve  the  success  they   deserve  for  various  socioeconomic  reasons.  Access  to   financial  investment  or  alternative  modes  of   financing  could  help  small  and  medium-sized   enterprises  in  the  sector overcome these difficulties.},
