POLITICHE COMUNITARIE E SVILUPPO RURALE

In the European Union, agricultural activity and, consequently, the industrial and commercial operations related to it, are strongly conditioned by public intervention, without which the primary activity would not be able to withstand the processes of globalisation. This course deals with the study of agricultural policies in Europe and in Italy, analysing the reform of the European Community’s intervention strategy that culminates in the policies of supporting prices and markets, and the novel elements in the evaluation of the territory and of rural areas, analysing the close relationship that agriculture has with the health of citizens, to food safety, the health of the environment, and the protection of the landscape.
