Dai distretti rurali ai parchi agroalimentari ABSTRACT: These years of market globalization have caused the spreading of agricultural products with a poor territorial content. As a consequence to the unrecognizability of foodstuffs, critical consumers are becoming popular in Italy too; they want quality and local products, therefore they force the agricultural sector to adapt to the new situation.

The following article analyses the short experience of these Districts and compares it to the agricultural parks one and to the first foodstuffs park experiences.
