The study proposes a preliminary interpretation of food safety as a component of basic capabilities (Sen, 1993). The perspective of the paper is based on the idea of the Food System conceived as the outcome of the correlation of institutional, technical, organizational and cultural dimensions. The origin and the consequences of the safety crisis are considered in light of the relationships among these dimensions in large scale food chains. The organizational strategies to cope with safety goals are presented in their relations with values and habits in a case study of Coop Italia, a large retail company.

Abstract
The study proposes a preliminary interpretation of food safety as a component of basic capabilities (Sen, 1993). The perspective of the paper is based on the idea of the Food System conceived as the outcome of the correlation of institutional, technical, organizational and cultural dimensions. The origin and the consequences of the safety crisis are considered in light of the relationships among these dimensions in large scale food chains. The organizational strategies to cope with safety goals are presented in their relations with values and habits in a case study of Coop Italia, a large retail company.File in questo prodotto:
