“…An important step toward all these directions is the enhancement of reuse policy in support of waste prevention and circularity. In addition, the dissemination and implementation of new uses schemes of wool for providing incentives and encouraging sharing of information and good practices are desirable [ 72 , 73 , 74 ].…”

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.

“…Regarding the intrinsic characteristics, numerous authors have pointed out that fertility (measured with various types of indexes) or productivity of soils have a positive effect on the price per unit of area (Bastian et al, 2002;Drescher et al, 2001;Faux and Perry, 1999;Kostov, 2009;Maddison, 2009;Sardaro et al, 2018b;Tsoodle et al, 2006;Troncoso et al, 2010;Xu et al, 1993;Perry and Robinson, 2001;Sardaro et al, 2021;Uematsu et al, 2013).…”

“…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.…”

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.
