Studies on the possibility to provide food for population activating local production and
consumption circuits are spreading to different parts of the world even in the "developed"
countries. Regarding to the aspects related to food system localization, the main problem
concerns the adaptability of intensive commodity agriculture towards a local development
model. There are many approaches to these issues related, in part, to the studies on
bioregionalism. Berg (1978), in the early '70s, has considered the bioregion in an
ecological sense like a particular set of environmental features that are located in an area.
Later many contributions to the discussion, refer to different disciplines like planning,
economics.
In particular this research focuses on the food local system mainly discussing about
problems concerning transition in intensive commodity agriculture territory. The problem of
the relocalization of food system is a process which reverses the trend of globalization in
favor of the food sovereignty. There are some interesting experiences that are developing
in different areas of the world as a response to the actual crisis of the economic system.
This paper examines the possibility of practical implementation (theory of reality) of a
transition phase towards a bio-region in Friuli Venezia Giulia
