Abstract

L’atteggiamento dei consumatori nei confronti di alimenti che contengono OGM o sono ottenuti da OGM e gli alimenti che contengono ingredienti ottenuti da OGM (di seguito designati complessivamente con l’espressione "alimenti geneticamente modificati" o “alimenti GM”) rappresenta un tema di grande attualità per il sistema agro-alimentare europeo. Le esigenze dei consumatori, caratterizzate da una crescente importanza assegnata alle caratteristiche sia dei processi produttivi sia degli alimenti finali, impongono un’ampia ed attenta analisi dei possibili effetti sui comportamenti di acquisto che l’introduzione di alimenti GM nel sistema agro-alimentare potrebbe generare. La diffusione della coltivazione di varietà di piante GM, principalmente in Paesi extraeuropei (USA, Canada ed Argentina), e l’immissione sul mercato mondiale di prodotti OGM destinati anche all’alimentazione umana, ha generato accesi dibattiti in Europa pro e contro l’adozione di questa nuova tecnologia, per i possibili effetti negativi per i consumatori e sull’ambiente. L’UE sin dai primi anni 90 ha cercato di definire una normativa sugli OGM capace di garantire la protezione della salute dei cittadini e dell'ambiente e al tempo stesso creare un mercato unificato della biotecnologia. L’obiettivo di questo lavoro è di valutare, alla luce del quadro normativo vigente in materia di alimenti GM, l’atteggiamento dei consumatori nei confronti di alcune caratteristiche del sistema agro-alimentare (di seguito designati come “attributi”) e in particolare dell’introduzione nei mercati finali di alimenti geneticamente modificati. Per valutare l’atteggiamento dei consumatori, in termini quantitativi oltre che qualitativi, si intende misurare la loro disponibilità a pagare (DAP) pro o contro delle variazioni (presenza/assenza o aumento/diminuzione) degli attributi considerati rispetto allo status quo, utilizzando la metodologia del choice modelling. Si tratta, in al
