- Description: Abstract: The "Piacentinu" ennese, a typical Sicilian cheese from the province of Enna, is distinguished by its strong ties with its territory of origin, its geographic, historical, cultural, social-economic characteristics. Its development and distribution on the market could be valid instruments for satisfying the growing demand by consumers for variety and quality, which comes from a greater attention to the relationship between food, health, environment and the quality of life. Moreover such processes, if opportunely used, may be a way of relaunching less known areas, but not for this less meaningful, not only from gastronomic but also from a cultural-environmental point of view.

- Description: Citrus production is one of the most important sectors of the Sicilian agriculture. In particular, Sicilian orange production is of the best quality producing mainly pigmented or blood oranges (cvv. Tarocco, Moro and Sanguinello). No other region in the Mediterranean area or on the American Continent produces, on a large scale, blood oranges.

- Description: Abstract: The environmental labels and declarations, defined by the standard ISO 14020, are voluntary instruments of the environmental management which can encourage the customer demand for more ecological products/services. Among them, the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), environmental label type III, is a document which contains objective, comparable and credible information about the environmental impact of a product/service. The EPD, assessing product/service life cycle, allows the evaluation of all environmental features and potential impacts. The aim of this study is to define the guidelines for the developing of the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) addressed to the agro-food chain products.

Life cycle assessment interpretation and improvement of the Sicilian artichokes production

- Description: This paper presents the results obtained from the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the production of Sicilian artichokes (Cynara scolymus) with the aim of reducing impacts, interpreting the results, suggesting possible improvements and enriching the sustainability knowledge already existing in the agro food field. Artichokes represent one of the excellent Italian agricultural products even if still not well-known and not appreciated despite their nutritional and functional quality. According to FAOSTAT (2013) data, Italy is the world leader in artichokes production, grown mainly in the central and southern regions of Italy, in particular in Sicily, Apulia and Sardinia. In particular, among all the Italian regions, Sicily, which is highly suited for this type of cultivation, is ranked first in terms of quantity produced: the reason for this lies in the excellent combination of climate and geological conformation of the soils. The study was conducted in accordance with the ISO standards 14040 and 14044 (2006), with the functional unit of 1 ha of land and, as the system boundaries being the phases of: pre-implantation preparation of the field; artichoke implantation; and harvesting. The most impacting phases are those related with the consumption of fuel and fertilizers as well as with the use of the PVC pipes for irrigation. Possible improvements could be the use of methanol instead of the naphtha (reduction of the total damage of about 13%) and the possibility of recycling the PVC pipes once the field is dismantled (furthermore reduction of the damage of about 3%).
