“…Important components of agrobiodiversity are landraces, i.e., local varieties of domesticated plant and animal species that have adapted to the natural and cultural local environment. Over the centuries landraces, based on traditional systems of production, ensured food and forage, minimized the production risk, stabilized yields [ 1 ], and favored low levels of technology and inputs [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Nowadays, landraces contribute to preserve social, cultural, health, recreational and identity values of community, so as to ensure wellbeing [ 6 ].…”

In Basilicata, southern Italy, a sheep landrace jeopardized of extinction is Gentile di Puglia due to low production levels, low market values of milk and meat, and replacement of wool with synthetic fibers. Due to these dynamics farmers progressively resort to intensive breeding systems, hence causing the gradual disappearance of the ovine sector, the withering of traditional breeding culture and the abandonment of internal and marginal territories. However, in changing climate, traditional agriculture is getting increased attention worldwide by the consumers who are embracing emerging sustainable food production. Thus, in the light of a possible conservation strategy, the study investigates the prospective market for a garment (pullover) produced with wool from Gentile di Puglia, and woven through traditional techniques. An integrated methodological approach based on choice experiments and Bass diffusion model was carried out in order to analyze the consumers’ preferences, the penetration market of this innovative product and the new wool value for farmers. The results pointed out a potential demand focused on women aged 50 years and more and a recognized wool value to farmers of 55 € animal−1 (22 € kg−1). This new revenue could allow the reduction of the difference in gross margin between the Gentile di Puglia and the non-autochthonous intensively-farmed Comisana from 57% to 3%. The production of further wool garments for a wider demand could increase the economic sustainability of Gentile di Puglia, making it even more preferable than other highly productive breeds.

“…Another important field of investigation concerned the effects of territorial policy and urban growth on farmland prices (Abelairas-Etxebarria and Astorkiza, 2012;Delbecq et al, 2014;Géniaux et al, 2011;Guiling et al 2009;Jaeger et al, 2012;Livanis et al, 2006;Plantinga et al, 2002). Especially in more recent years, many studies investigated the effect of various types of amenities on farmland prices also in order to measure their social value (Bastian et al, 2002;Borchers et al, 2014;Ma and Swinton, 2011;Sardaro et al, 2020;Uematsu et al, 2013;Wasson et al, 2013). Lastly, some scholars studied the effect of some intrinsic characteristics of agricultural land on their value (e.g.…”

“…The presence of irrigation water and good drainage in general also increase the unit price (Bastian et al, 2002;Kostov, 2009;Ma and Swinton, 2011;Perry and Robison, 2001;Sardaro et al, 2020;Tsoodle et al, 2006) while slope has a negative effect (Erwin and Mill, 1985;Hilal et al, 2016;Ma and Swinton, 2011;Sardaro et al, 2020;Sardaro et al , 2021).…”

“…As for the location of the farm and the characteristics of the territory surrounding it, many studies highlighted that distance from the road network (Drecher et al, 2001;Kostov, 2009;Sardaro et al, 2018b;Snyder et al, 2008;Tsoodle et al, 2006;Khalid, 2015;King and Schreiner, 2004;Ma and Swinton, 2011;Sardaro et al, 2020;Sardaro et al, 2021) and from major inhabited centers (Kostov, 2009;Maddison, 2009;Sardaro et al, 2018b;Snyder et al, 2008;Khalid, 2015;Sardaro et al, 2020;Sardaro et al, 2021) reduces the price per unit of area.…”

“…The researches that have analysed the effect of amenities on prices are not very numerous and their results are difficult to compare since they considered different types of amenities, sometimes using specific indicators for the investigated area. In this regard, of particular interest is the research carried out by Sardaro et al (2020) who found that the effect of various types of amenities changes accord-ing to the type of crop and the characteristics of the rural area (Rural area with specialised intensive agriculture; Rural area with development problems). Proximity to woods always reduces the price of land, but this effect is higher in Rural areas with specialized intensive agriculture and for vineyards.…”

In the last 30 years, numerous studies analysed the factors that affect land prices mainly using the Hedonic Pricing method. These studies have shown that many factors can affect land prices (e.g. land and surrounding territory characteristics, accessibility, proximity to urban area, etc.). However, they rarely addressed the analysis of the reliability of the models by comparing the estimated values to the observed one. Attempting to face this problem, our study analysed the land market of the “Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore PGDO” area. Despite the quite high coefficient of determination (r2 = 0.76) and statistical significance of the model parameters, we found that the percentage absolute deviation between observed and estimated value is higher than 30% in 34% of cases. Our results seem to suggest that future researches should devote particular attention to the analysis of the discrepancies existing between estimated values and market prices in order to support the appraisal activity of professional valuers.

Clarifying public willingness to pay (WTP) for farmland non‐point source pollution (FNSP) governance helps to establish an ecological compensation mechanism with public participation. This will reduce China's agricultural pollution and its environmental and food safety consequences while promoting sustainable development. Nevertheless, research has yet to reveal the public WTP within China's FNSP governance policy framework. To this end, a “2030‐oriented FNSP governance program” choice experiment with specific FNSP governance measures (fertilizer reduction, pesticide reduction, straw resource utilization, and mulch film recycling) was conducted in Gansu Province to reveal the public WTP for FNSP governance and its key influencing factors. Results from mixed logit models show that urban residents' marginal WTP (MWTP) for improving the FNSP status quo and different measures for fertilizer reduction, pesticide reduction, straw resource utilization, and mulch film recycling is ¥151.62, ¥1.33, ¥7.3, ¥4.85, and ¥3.16 annually, respectively, indicating the highest preference for reducing pesticides because of food safety problems. Meanwhile, the average individual WTP for optimal FNSP governance schemes is ¥513.02 annually, accounting for only 3.86‰ of annual household income; the regional aggregate social welfare of optimal FNSP governance is as high as ¥2038.23 million, accounting for 2.81% of GDP in 2020. This means that FNSP governance can bring substantial social welfare with a low household economic burden. In addition, the perception that food safety has improved in the past 5 years or an awareness of food safety incidents can enhance the willingness of urban residents to change the status quo of FNSP: the more serious the respondents perceive food safety problems to be, the stronger the above effects, indicating the critical impact of food safety factors on the public's WTP for FNSP governance. The study's findings highlight the potential to find socially acceptable ways to promote FNSP governance as well as provide insight into the relevant policymaking process from the standpoint of public participation and food safety.
