The spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy, in the period March-May 2020, quickly triggered a deep crisis, causing an immediate economic slowdown and consequently a strong contraction in domestic demand and trade. The food supply chain faced severe difficulties, although its anti-cyclical nature allowed for greater resilience compared to other economic sectors. In this framework of ongoing uncertainty, it is important to understand the response of farms to the crisis, and their role in the sustainability of the post-pandemic food supply chain, even for future policy interventions in the short and medium term. The purpose of the paper is to investigate how diversification affected the response of farms to the Covid-19 crisis, and explore whether the changes required by the post-crisis scenario can produce opportunities for their activities. The study investigates a sample of fifteen farms in central Italy through semi-structured interviews, performing a lexicon-based text and sentiment analysis. The results highlight the importance of farm diversification in dealing with the Covid-19 crisis, and emphasise the role of diversified farms for the sustainability of the agri-food system. These results have interesting policy implications, particularly regarding support for the competitiveness of farms by improving sustainable logistics, electronic commerce and exchanges of knowledge and innovations among farmers; these measures should be taken into account to target the future agricultural, rural and food policies, at both national and local level.

意大利多元化农场如何应对 Covid-19 大流行的第一波挑战?

2020 年 3 月至 5 月期间,Covid-19 大流行病在意大利的蔓延迅速引发了一场深刻的危机,导致经济立即放缓,从而导致国内需求和贸易大幅收缩。食品供应链面临严重困难,尽管其反周期性使其与其他经济部门相比具有更大的弹性。在这种持续存在不确定性的框架下,重要的是要了解农场对危机的反应,以及它们在大流行后食品供应链可持续性中的作用,即使对于未来的短期和中期政策干预也是如此。本文的目的是调查多样化如何影响农场对 Covid-19 危机的反应,并探讨后危机情景所需的变化是否可以为他们的活动创造机会。该研究通过半结构化访谈调查了意大利中部 15 个农场的样本,执行基于词典的文本和情感分析。结果突出了农场多样化在应对 Covid-19 危机中的重要性,并强调了多样化农场对农业食品系统可持续性的作用。这些结果具有有趣的政策影响,特别是在通过改善可持续物流、电子商务以及农民之间的知识和创新交流来支持农场的竞争力方面;应考虑这些措施,以针对国家和地方各级的未来农业、农村和粮食政策。执行基于词典的文本和情感分析。结果突出了农场多样化在应对 Covid-19 危机中的重要性,并强调了多样化农场对农业食品系统可持续性的作用。这些结果具有有趣的政策影响,特别是在通过改善可持续物流、电子商务以及农民之间的知识和创新交流来支持农场的竞争力方面;应考虑这些措施,以针对国家和地方各级的未来农业、农村和粮食政策。执行基于词典的文本和情感分析。结果突出了农场多样化在应对 Covid-19 危机中的重要性,并强调了多样化农场对农业食品系统可持续性的作用。这些结果具有有趣的政策影响,特别是在通过改善可持续物流、电子商务以及农民之间的知识和创新交流来支持农场的竞争力方面;应考虑这些措施,以针对国家和地方各级的未来农业、农村和粮食政策。这些结果具有有趣的政策影响,特别是在通过改善可持续物流、电子商务以及农民之间的知识和创新交流来支持农场的竞争力方面;应考虑这些措施,以针对国家和地方各级的未来农业、农村和粮食政策。这些结果具有有趣的政策影响,特别是在通过改善可持续物流、电子商务以及农民之间的知识和创新交流来支持农场的竞争力方面;应考虑这些措施,以针对国家和地方各级的未来农业、农村和粮食政策。
