The agri-food chain as an element of contemporary agrarian law

Abstract

Currently agrarian law has a new challenge: enable the achievement of Food Security, a subject tied not only to the quantity of food production, but to the quality of it. The work asks if the modern orientations of Agrarian law prefer the economic data, before the demands of Food Security? To this end, the agri-food phenomenon and markets are analyzed, as well as the company and the agri-food chain in light of European Community law. It is concluded by affirming that the new Agrarian law can no longer be the Law attached only to provide solutions to the problems of the land and of the producer or agrarian entrepreneur. It will be necessary to focus on the biological cycle, complemented by the phenomenon of markets; the impacts of agricultural activity on the environment and on human development; the legal formulation of the agri-food chain. We are facing a Law that receives the impacts of internationalization, but also of integration, regionalization, intersectorality, interdisciplinarity, solidarity, concertation, showing itself to be multifunctional. As goals to be reached, agri-food and agro-environmental quality emerge, in the light of fundamental human rights to: the environment, sustainable development, the quality of life of consumers. Continuously operates an extension of agrarian law purposes, which brings with it the new orientations of the discipline.
