“…Disruptions in sales due to food safety scares are costly as manufacturers make huge investments in their brands and engage ex ante in extensive advertising and promotional activities. The problem with meat is that historically it has been a relatively unbranded category that limits the pro‐safety affects of protecting a hostage brand asset (Goldsmith et al, 2002).…”

In the aftermath of the recent food scares, the United States and the United Kingdom face major challenges to maintain a safe food system. Regulators on opposite sides of the Atlantic are facing rapid product and process innovations, changes in consumption behaviors, expansion of international trade, and discovery of new food hazards. The U.K. and the U.S. demonstrate different approaches to manage safety risks. This article will focus on two issues: the reasons behind the differences in the American and English policy approaches to food safety, and how these differences impact U.S. safety outcomes. A comparative legal framework is provided to understand how food safety is elicited in the economy and the incentive implications of the different institutional settings. These two different lenses, because they differ so, teach us about the fundamental sources of safety. The U.K.'s prevalent doctrine is parliamentary sovereignty and leads to a regulatory framework, while the U.S. is based on constitutional supremacy and relies on a legal framework. The source of safety under a regulatory framework is the government bureaucracy, while the U.S. legal framework provides an important point of departure-the constitutional standing of the firm and the consumer. We argue that while the U.K. system is structured to work through a regulatory framework to enhance the supply of safety in the economy, the U.S. system is much less directed. The legal system, the subject of this article, plays an important role not only in discouraging breach but also in acting as a check on the discretionary authority of the regulator. In the end, the U.S. and the U.K. may have equally safe food systems, but what differs is the fundamental source of the safety supply. The practical implication is that safety in the food system emerges from several sources, not just through regulation. Therefore, direct importation of U.K.-style regulatory approaches may not be effective within a U.S. constitutional setting. Copyright 2007 International Association of Agricultural Economists.

“…Le filiere agroalimentari, già caratterizzate da intrinseca complessità dovuta alla connessione con aspetti legati alla biosfera (Archer et al, 2009), sono divenute nel tempo più articolate anche in conseguenza della necessità di includere standard di sicurezza e qualità progressivamente più stringenti (Goldsmith et al, 2002). La crescente importanza degli aspetti legati alla commercializzazione, branding, schemi di qualità richiederebbe una adeguata trasparenza di mercato per valutare l'efficienza nella allocazione delle risorse e verificare i meccanismi di trasmissione del prezzo lungo le filiere agroalimentare (Lewis et al, 2014).…”

The ecological transition assigns a strategic role to farms in achieving the sustainable transformation of agricultural systems. Therefore, teaching of agricultural economics must make these demands of civil society its own and rethink topics, decision-making tools, and teaching methods fostering the transition to sustainable agriculture. The main aim of this article is discussing the relevant teaching topics and the useful decision support tools useful for concrete progress in agricultural economics in the cycles of university studies. Five topics are recognized as priorities for the rethinking of courses on agricultural economics: agricultural systems, equitable distribution of value, quality and value of agri-food products, territorial regeneration, protection and regeneration of natural resources. The paper focuses also on the nature and role of decision support tools in university teaching. Finally, some considerations are extended to the opportunities offered by formal teaching in the context of informal training such as university-enterprise cooperation and in the context of the internationalization of degree courses supported by the Erasmus+ program. Further analysis is needed to evaluate how to rethink both single training courses, and global study programs in agricultural economics.

“…The second approach, iterative planning (logical incrementalism) differs from the first in the lower level of orderly process (Andrews, Beynon, & Genc, 2017;Goldsmith, Salvador, Knipe, & Kendall, 2002). In this case, the company's management acts as the organizer of the strategic process, consolidating the components of the overall strategy developed in the functional departments.…”
