Abstract
Studies on the possibility to provide food for population activating local production and consumption circuits are spreading to different parts of the world even in the "developed" countries. Regarding to the aspects related to food system localization, the main problem concerns the adaptability of intensive commodity agriculture towards a local development model. There are many approaches to these issues related, in part, to the studies on bioregionalism. Berg (1978), in the early '70s, has considered the bioregion in an ecological sense like a particular set of environmental features that are located in an area. Later many contributions to the discussion, refer to different disciplines like planning, economics. In particular this research focuses on the food local system mainly discussing about problems concerning transition in intensive commodity agriculture territory. The problem of the relocalization of food system is a process which reverses the trend of globalization in favor of the food sovereignty. There are some interesting experiences that are developing in different areas of the world as a response to the actual crisis of the economic system. This paper examines the possibility of practical implementation (theory of reality) of a transition phase towards a bio-region in Friuli Venezia GiuliaI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
