Discussione su “Impresa e non impresa nell’agricoltura italiana. Una analisi sui dati del Censi-mento dell’Agricoltura 2010” di Andrea Arzeni e Franco Sotte

Abstract

The deep structural and functional changes occurred over time in the context of Italian agriculture have significantly changed the farms’ operating processes, taking them to identify and practise new productive and commercial strategies. The clear identification of the farm and the enterprise which derives from it remains a relevant matter connected with the construction of public policies interested in the development and enhancement of the production of goods and services in agriculture. The Authors suggest a critical analysis of the paper by Arzeni and Sotte, 2013. The discussion highlights the distinction between farms and not-farms through a reading of agricultural census data (6th Italian Agriculture General Census 2010).
