Summary:Since the end of the Second World War, the evolution of agricultural production systems has been characterized by the adoption of agro-industrial development models. On one hand, this has enabled the achievement of important results in terms of agricultural productivity and access to food; on the other, it has led to productive systems that highlighted serious global problems such as malnutrition, food wastes and food losses, oligopolies in key sectors (for example, productive factors), environmental sustainability problems. The aim of this paper is to underline that in order to satisfy the new food requirements resulting from the expected demographic evolution, we don't need to access new resources, but to responsibly use the existing ones. As a consequence, a deep reconsideration of the current patterns of agricultural consumption and consume needs to be developed and implemented.
