Volume 22 of Economia agro-alimentare / Food Economy will be the first one using the Open Access publishing model, based on the Italian version of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license (CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 IT). The publication is now supported by authors, instead of readers; article-processing charges (APC) will be paid after manuscript acceptance and before publication. However, the Italian Society of Agri-food Economics (SIEA) will continue to support the journal: its members will benefit from a full waiver of the APC, and siea will cover the publication cost not covered by APCs.
