Análise da sustentabilidade da cadeia produtiva com a denominação de origem do queijo Santo Giorno

Abstract

Competitiveness and innovation are intrinsic in agroindustrial systems, since agro-industrial development directly reflects the economic development of the region. The present study aimed to identify the possible impacts on the sustainability of the value chain with the Denomination of Origin of the Santo Giorno Cheese. To meet this objective, three articles were prepared, the first to analyze the application of theories of innovation, sustainability and value chain in the literature. The second and third are case studies of the Net Project, and the development of the typical regional cheese of Santo Giorno, and verify its possible consequences in relation to the three theoretical aspects mentioned. For this, interviews were carried out with the strategic partners of the project, analyzed documents elaborated in the course of the project and the book Santo Giorno. It is considered from the study that it is possible to obtain good results from the Denomination of Origin of the cheese, especially referring to the organization of the value chain, and the implementation of innovations and improvements in the actors of the chain. However, this process tends to be slow and gradual, since the process is still in its initial phase.
