“…It also suggests to consumers that a particular good has characteristic particularities which are such because of the place of origin of that product. Thus confirms that a geographical indication is more than a designation of origin, which indicates only the origin of the product and not certain qualities (Cei et al, 2018;Lombardo, 2015;Oliinyk et al, 2018;Vandecandelaere et al, 2010;Wilson et al, 2018).…”

“…Geographical indications indicate the name of a region, a specific location or, for example, in exceptional cases, the country of production, as such the product should have a unique specific quality, method of preparation and reputation that can be linked to other characteristics related to geographical origin and caused by natural factors like climate, landscape, fauna and flora, production methods and traditions (Brown & Paszkiewicz, 2017;Santeramo et al, 2018). Geographical indications of origin play a significant role in fostering rural climates (Cei et al, 2018). The system of protection of geographical indications is a very important tool for the development and popularization of the region, especially rural areas, which gives a chance to producers of traditional products to brand their products and increase competitiveness by using this protection (Anton et al, 2016) which contributes to sales in the tourism market (Banjac et al, 2012).…”

The product protection system has been created in order to keeping up with the development of tourism and the need to offer and highlight unique agricultural, food, and gastronomic products. In this way, trademarks have positive effects on users of services or products, creating a clear picture of specific, authentic characteristics of food and beverages. Their constant production and sales have a positive impact on the economic development of the country - the region from which the products come. The paper has the task to showcase protected products by regions that can favorably affect the economic growth through sales and supply within catering and tourism facilities. This paper aims to consider the number, types, and characteristics of these products within the region, as important part of the gastronomic offer, tourist and economic development of the country. The research was conducted on the basis of appropriate documentation of data available to the Institute for the Intellectual Property of the Serbia. Based on the conducted research, it was concluded that in the territory of the Serbia, the region with the largest number of protected products is Vojvodina, while Šumadija is the region with the smallest number of protected products.

“…The identity of farmers is mirrored in landscape maintenance and awareness of its features and heritage. Indigenous knowledge is held by local inhabitants or is locally unique to a given culture or society [32]. Particularly, rural landscapes have inherited complex constructions resulting from steps of maintenance carried out by many single individuals and dispersed through lengthy periods of time.…”

“…The authors of [33] presented a comparable qualitative survey in order to get better understanding of the local practices of traditional farming, and they interpreted traditional practices and the role of traditional farming in sustaining the area's resources and enhancing its adaptability to environmental changes [34]. In particular, the product designated "original food" incorporates unique features from local resources, both material and immaterial, and this highly differentiates and characterizes local foods in the market [32].…”

The Role of Small Farm Activities for the Sustainable Management of Agricultural Landscapes: Case Studies from Europe

In Europe, a broad variety of agricultural landscape types have originated as a result of traditional farming activities and landscape diversity maintenance over centuries. The rapid development of socio-economic activities during the twentieth century caused significant loss of traditional rural landscapes. Traditional/historical European agricultural landscape types (EALs) represent a type of cultural landscape with many specific unique cultural, historical, and biodiversity patterns. Despite their high value, maintenance in practice is lacking. European farmers and landowners need to learn how to implement innovative multifunctional farming techniques within these landscapes. An online interactive educational tool of the ERASMUS+ FEAL project (FEAL: multifunctional Farming for the sustainability of European Agricultural Landscapes) deals with these topics. Case studies from the FEAL project showed the best examples of sustainable agricultural management practices in different types of EALs. The aim of this article was to evaluate case studies within coordination of information on the environment (CORINE) Land Cover (CLC) 2012 classes representing traditional land use forms, nature and landscape protection areas, and ecologically important areas, as well as High Nature Value (HNV) farmland. Results based on 28 case studies from five European countries interpreted the positive external effects of farms on values of EALs. A prevailing number of farms exhibited a coincidence between CLC 2012 classes with traditional land use forms and HNV farmland and protected areas. Regarding land cover classes with traditional land use forms, key words selected by farmers gave importance to recreation and tourism, furthering of biodiversity, direct sale, social farming, renewable energy, and traditional building. The highest frequencies of the key words were achieved in CLC 2012 classes concerning (to some degree) natural and semi-natural ecosystems.

“…Finally, a couple of recent studies address the issue at a wider geographical scale adopting an impact assessment framework. Cei et al [65] show that increasing the degree of protection through GIs has positive effects on the regional agricultural value added in Italy. Using a similar research strategy Raimondi et al [66] studied the effects of GIs on employment and labor productivity in Italy, France, and Spain.…”

From Geographical Indications to Rural Development: A Review of the Economic Effects of European Union Policy

One of the main functions of geographical indications (GIs) is to provide information and quality to consumers. This, in turn, can generate benefits for producers and stimulate rural development processes, as advocated by European Union (EU) legislation. The objective of the present study is to understand if the theorized effects of GIs on local economic development are supported by empirical evidence. Using a systematic approach, we reviewed the literature on the topic and structured the results of the review adopting a supply chain framework. This allows us to better understand how the effects of GIs are distributed among the chain actors and finally arrive at the local territories where GI products originate. Evidence shows that GIs are actually able to generate value added, especially at the consumer and retailer levels, while the effects on the economic performance of producers are more heterogeneous and dependent on specific local conditions. The review also highlighted some drawbacks in the literature that make it difficult to draw robust conclusions about the actual impact of GI policy at the European level. Therefore, despite the GI tool actually showing good potential for improving local economic conditions, more structured and focused research is needed.
