There is a big problem in the world market of food products: everything must go everywhere, in the name of two things, one of the economic growth of the producer and the other the right of the consumer to dispose of every good imaginable.
And 'certainly nice to eat the precious alpine cheese or a slice of Dutch cheese, as it is beautiful in the world can buy Italian pasta, which is the only decent, but the achievement of this apparent form of justice market hides some serious consequences. The first is that good food was born in the culinary traditions of a place, to be exported, it must increase its industrial production likely to withstand the demands of a market gradually widening, according to the law of growth. This will lead inevitably to a diminution of quality, since the traditional techniques will replace the criteria of convenience and compromise typical of the food industry, which demean the genuineness in the name of portability in the long haul, shelf life and tastes of approval. The second consequence is that the price of the product will affect more and more transportation costs and any customs duties or increase the volume entering the air transport huge quantities of fine particles (the trucks are diesel powered and are not environmentally friendly. ..), clogging the roads and thus increasing the risk of accidents, among other things, the greater the range of export, there are multiple steps: this leads to an impoverishment of the producers to the benefit of intermediaries. The third is that the product and the territory will lose their exclusive relationship, intimate: a historically determined relation, which is then be studied with scientific research criteria, but that also means the possibility of developing a food-related tourism.
This would require a re-balance a link between producers and consumers, who prefer direct and trustee of the typical artisan products (although many productions in the meantime will go to the small size of the industry), the seasonal and typical of the raw materials a place. All this is called the farmer's market, literally, from the English, "market factor". The farmer's market is an idea kind in the United States, which in some European countries is already a widespread reality, while we -Of course-is still a mirage. But something starts to move.
Monselice A (PD) was inaugurated on Friday the headquarters of the Consortium "Agrimons" an excellent example of Italian farmer's market created by the commitment of thirty companies, present-past president of the consortium Mauro Bertin-Minister for Agricultural Policies Paolo De Castro, the president of Padua Coldiretti Calaon Marco, the director Walter Luchetta, the trade commissioner of the City of Monselice Bruno Cama and Councillor provincial agriculture Luciano Save.
The farmer's markets have been introduced to the Finance Act 2006. What we now need to reasonably expect is a boost to the initiative, which, without taking major market share to competition, but would create a fair local market, lower costs, increase revenue with the consumer but the producer. Currently, the regulatory framework for farmer's markets, is underway by the Government an agreement with the ANCI (Association Naz. Italian Municipalities). Buy local, especially if you can do it directly from the manufacturer, means knowing what you eat. Also, is an ethical and responsible trade shows in the wake of social justice from which too often leaves the food industry.
