Agriculture and self-sustainability in an eco-territorialist framework: resistance and perspectives as from the Sambuca di Sicilia case study

Abstract

In a scenario between immobilism and innovation, characterized by the often conflicting juxtaposition between productive and economic operators with mostly inertial behaviors and operators who are real agents of change, the analysis of the productive system of Sambuca di Sicilia (AG) through a specific focus on agriculture and related industries allows us to understand opportunities and frictions of the new centrality of the land and the countryside, especially in the so-called internal areas, with attention to the self-sustainable, systemic 'green' value of the productive practices and of the 'visions' these practices are nourished by.
