DESIGN SISTEMICO E TERRITORIO Progettare relazioni virtuose tra agricoltura, produzione energetica e modelli di consumo.ALLEGATO B: ENERGIA DA e PER IL TERRITORIO
The current consumption model identifies the base of the well-being of individuals and the community itself as the possession of property. The idea of development generated is a quantitative model, strongly backed by the economic system, and it does not matter what you consume as long as the outcome results in an increase in demand. Agriculture is no exception, as well as other sectors of the economy ,it results subject to strict laws of supply and demand: the food has slowly transformed into an industrial product, on the one hand becoming increasingly affordable and abundant, but on the other more standard and approved. The intensification of production has necessitated the large-scale use of pesticides and antibiotics in order to consistently meet the quantity and esthetic standards required by the market. Concepts such as seasonality and typicality have been altered, getting the consumers used to have any product anywhere and any time. This has modified our relationship with food: we eat more than we need, we buy more than we can consume, These shortcomings lead to our actions and behaviors that cause the waste and the disposal of a huge quantity of edible food, and separating our choices from their effects on health and territory, leading to the consolidation of a pattern of consumption that is not sustainable environmentally, socially and economically. If we consider that food chains are one of the sectors most energy-intensive and polluting, it follows that the current pattern of consumption can no longer be socially, environmentaly and economically consolidated and supported. On the other hand, the very close link between agriculture, energy and health represents a new starting point for designing a model of virtuous life and conscious, capable of generating culture and wellness. For nearly a decade, however, new realities, that have sought to find a different way of acting, are developing in a new economy which can create fertile ground for a local sustainable development. The purpose of our work is to define, through the analysis of different case studies, new scenarios of possible development, which can create new positive relationship between the protagonists of the system, and in which the flows of energy and matter constitute new resources and opportunities for the territory.
