Abstract
In the affirmation of the Sustainable Development Strategy, the agricultural production plays a crucial role in the success of the bio-economy. The European Commission adopted a strategic action plan called: “Innovate for sustainable growth: a Bio-economy for Europe”. The bio-economy will be one of the basic topics of the Horizon 2020 program. In this context, very promising results are coming especially for the cycle of barley: it is a cultivation with large diffusion all around the world and with high capability of adaptation regarding to climate and soil variations. Last year, an italian research project entitled “Process and product innovation in the barley food chain for the improvement of quality and environmental sustainability of food and beverages” started. A part of this aims to create a collaboration between Italy and Romania to measure the potentiality of barley contribute to the Bio-economy Strategy. The specific collaboration is to arrange a bioeconomic evaluation of the barley chain with particular focus on proposals for the supply chain and to boost the role of barley for the initiation of bio-economic development processes at national and European level. In this sense, the paper represents a first contribution about a specific part of the collaboration and, moreover, aims to deliver an example, at the academic level, about the innovative opportunities of bioeconomic research field.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
