“…The resulting wastelands include: stretches of agricultural land housing unauthorised buildings; portions of abandoned heritage sites; polluted sites under designated state tutorship; housing or productive facilities confiscated by the state from criminal organisations, etc. (Berruti and Palestino, 2018;Berruti, 2018).

Circular economy offers new visions of how diversely urban spaces could be inhabited and managed. While the generation and management of waste is being treated through innovative practices, disused industrial, rural, and infrastructural areas are resistant to becoming included in a closed-loop cycle. They, in fact, establish wastelands that need to be completely re-imagined as a precondition for the transition. The fact of shifting the definition of a ’neglected area’ into a ‘wasteland’, in line with the metaphor of urban metabolism, could be of tactical importance for generating alternative policies and practices. In exploring how the transition impacts Naples’ urban region, the paper argues that turning wastelands into resources has the double potential of rehabilitating spaces and challenging the governance model in use, overcoming barriers in multiple sectors.

Le texte se propose de mener une analyse préliminaire de la chaîne de valeur de l’alimentation italienne à partir de l’analyse de l’agriculture sociale, en particulier les fermes sociales associées aux « activités antimafia ». L’analyse part du principe selon lequel l’agriculture sociale est multifactorielle. Le texte repose sur trois études de cas issues de régions italiennes différentes : la Sicile, la Campanie et le Latium. La ferme sicilienne est la plus développée en termes de sophistication de la production ; la ferme de Campanie, de petite taille, accorde une grande importance résultats non liés aux produits de base, notamment le bien-être et la restauration des paysages ; la ferme située dans le Latium, enfin, offre une réponse tangentielle aux activités de la mafia, bien que ses gestionnaires les définissent comme une forme de résistance directe à la mafia à Rome.
