Solidarity Purchasing Groups (SPGs) represent a significant experience in Milan, where they have been active for over two decades now.

I Gruppi d’Acquisto Solidale (GAS) rappresentano un’esperienza significativa a Milano, dove sono attivi da oltre due decenni. Oggi, tuttavia, il contesto cittadino appare profondamente mutato, a causa della diffusione di nuovi canali per l’acquisto di cibo sostenibile, sia offline sia online. Date tali premesse, ci si è chiesti se i GAS rappresentino ancora un fenomeno rilevante a Milano e se abbiano modificato le proprie pratiche a fronte del nuovo scenario. La mappatura condotta ha rilevato la presenza di 62 GAS, mentre le interviste a testimoni privilegiati hanno evidenziato come, accanto a GAS che operano secondo routine consolidate, vi siano GAS che hanno modificato le proprie pratiche per supportare in maniera continuativa alcuni produttori o coinvolgere un maggior numero di consumatori.

Abstract
Solidarity Purchasing Groups (SPGs) represent a significant experience in Milan, where they have been active for over two decades now. Today, however, the urban context has profoundly changed, due to the spread of new channels for the purchase of sustainable food, both offline and online. Given these premises, it is interesting to understand if SPGs still represent a relevant phenomenon in Milan and if they have changed their practices in this new scenario. The mapping conducted revealed the presence of 62 SPGs. The interviews with privileged witnesses highlighted how, alongside SPGs operating according to established routines, there are SPGs that have changed their practices to give stronger support to some producers or involve a larger number of consumers.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
