Study of the Economic Impact of the Presidia in Italy
In 2002, the Bocconi University of Economics and Business in Milan, Italy conducted a study highlighting the outcomes of the Slow Food Presidia projects in Italy. The study demonstrated the measurable economic impact of the projects while also showcasing the unique nature of the Presidia model.
The Bocconi study quantified the remarkable achievement of the Presidia as measured by production quantity, sales price, and product quality. The study looked at 54 Presidia in six areas of production: fish, baked goods and sweets, cheeses, animal breeds, and produce. The groups ranged from four to sixteen Presidia of each type.
The study showed how a Slow Food Presidium acts as a cultural matrix, bringing together territory and product, typicality and quality, in which the term “environment” finds its clearest expression as the “context of life in the local community” – and new recognition in the local market.
