The book is mostly of a legal character. There is, however, a part on economic issues that highlights the practical influence of associations of agricultural producers, especially agricultural co-operatives, on the development of the agri-food industry. The chapters of the book have been written by scientists from universities in Argentina and Europe.
Social and economic changes, globalisation, ensuring food security and safety, climate changes, environmental degradation, as well as the issues connected with the COVID-19 pandemic, are making the collaboration of agricultural producers in the world increase in importance. An agricultural farm, irrespective of its size, is a small unit on the agricultural market and it is necessary for agricultural producers to collaborate at different stages of agricultural activity. The issues raised in this publication focus mainly on the legal aspects of the activity conducted by co-operatives in the agri-food industry, by groups and agricultural producers organisations, and by other legal forms of agricultural producers associations in Argentina, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain, as well as in some other countries in the world. The book also refers to EU legislation that promotes collaboration among agricultural producers.
