WORKING PAPERS
Griijp N.M. van der and Hond F. den (1999), Green supply chain initiatives in the
European food and retailing industry, Institute for Environmental Studies, Vrije
Universiteit, Amsterdam. Italy is among the European countries studied in this
paper, whose focus is on corporate initiatives aimed at more sustainable
agricultural practices. All agricultural food products - with the exception of

Sodano V. and Verneau F. (2003), Traceability and food safety: public choice and
private incentives, Collana Working Paper, n. 5-2003, Università degli Studi di
Napoli Federico II, Napoli. This paper aims at demonstrating that traceability
strongly affects the organisation of the food system, the structures and
strategies of the firms operating within it, and the nature of relationships
along the food supply chain. These statements are tested using a case study on
the Italian processed tomato sector.
