The Adoption of Landraces of Durum Wheat in Sicilian Organic Cereal Farming Analysed Using a System Dynamics Approach

The adoption of rare, traditional crops represents a good example enhancing functional agrobiodiversity, not only to provide benefits for farmers but also society as whole. study outlined in this paper aims verify how and under local social-ecological conditions the combination organic cereal farming growing durum wheat landraces can be profitably applied. Focusing on Sicily one most developed systems existing southern Italy, deployed comparison between data from regional dataset by Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) provided Association called Simenza. Thereafter, we used System Dynamics Approach (SDA) better understanding main drivers which will likely affect profitability system medium long term. results clearly demonstrated investigation might still develop push an increasing relative economic advantage standard varieties landraces.
