      abstract = {The paper investigates the coexistence of different  organisational patterns of local productions and evaluate  which local governance may be more appropriate in a  globalized agro-food scenery. We analyze, through the  spatial analysis tools and the use of suitable indicators  at municipality level, some PDO/PGI products in two Italian  regions, Veneto and Emilia Romagna, which adopted very  different strategies. The regional institutions in Veneto  preferred to individualize "from the top" the quality  agro-food districts at provincial level. In Emilia Romagna,  instead, the policy makers decided to recognize the  initiatives from the "bottom", born through various types  of agreements. The spatial analysis allows to select the  most appropriate indicators in order to identify  homogeneous local systems, reducing the complexity of the  issues to be addressed in the definition of their  geographic boundaries. The results of our analysis allow to  evaluate these approaches, highlighting the strengths and  weaknesses of two different models of the agro-food  districts. The purpose of our comparison is not to suggest  the best model to be transferred to other regions, but  rather to assess whether the regional strategies are  appropriate to the specificities of their territories.},
