collective Tuscany Free Association between the protagonists
collective Units Shop, here is the expenditure group that helps you spend less and ensure high-quality food '. Italy is exploding in the phenomenon of buying groups in 2009 increased by 30 per cent, aggregating blocks, rather than colleagues, relatives or friends. E ', according to a recent report on the dietary habits of Italians. In 2009, there were 600 groups in Italy fair trade (Gas) structured, compared with 460 the previous year. Buying forces in check by the manufacturer is even greater convenience compared to 30% guaranteed by the short supply chain and bring in quality and wholesome food pantry 'La Lombardia and' the region with the highest number of Gas (160), followed by Tuscany (84), Piemonte (71), Veneto and Emilia-Romagna (51 for both).
In reality ', in addition to these groups that have a real organizational structure, there are tens of thousands of voluntary initiatives that' born 'and' die 'continually in the houses, jobs, sports centers and recreation on the basis of simple verbal agreements. This is a trend that, especially in cities', is affecting the Italians. Consumers want to ensure that a sufficient volume of purchase to optimize transportation costs and access to more 'profitable distribution channels. The modes 'purchase in this case vary greatly, ranging from home delivery, all''adozione' in a group of whole animals to the personal collection of product marketing in the shaft or in the gardens. There is also the phenomenon of pick your own (direct deposits in the company by the consumer), even if the activity is marginal. The agreements of the buying group with manufacturers are different and may provide for the weekly delivery of the product or the formulation of specific orders telefono o attraverso internet ma anche tramite abbonamento, con l'offerta di prodotti a scadenze fisse e pagamento anticipato.
In Toscana, abbiamo poi Free Tuscany, un'associazione di promozione sociale, che sta portando avanti con il proprio GAS, un percorso in cui gli acquisti collettivi si incontrano in un locale conviviale ( Bio Cafè che si trova nel centro storico di Lucignano provincia di Arezzo http://www.biocafe.it/ ).
Free Tuscany porta avanti il concetto della bio spesa settimanale, mentre altre realtĂ si limitano alla distribuzione di cassette di ortofrutta e altri prodotti a cadenza bisettimanale o mensile.
Il funzionamento del gruppo d'acquisto e' semplice. Per Free Tuscany, for example, participants in the group receive an e-mail "program order" and participate in the common operation, with withdrawal in set places. The cumulative order is then transmitted to producers and, at the time of delivery (the products are usually delivered to a single point of contact who shall then forward them), you pay.
"Making economic solidarity, siginifica create value for both businesses and agricultural producers, and consumers," - noted the President of Tuscany Free Fabrizio Pierini - "Moreover it 's also a chance to know the products from organic farming and biodynamic rediscovering flavors now flattened by industrial logic, which have little or nothing to do with the objective primary of our association: to spread a new way of life, as we choose organic style.
