Spaccio Bio’s approach has had a significant impact on the market, generating growing awareness about the provenance and quality of food. It has shifted consumer attention toward local, sustainable and ethical products. This shift has fostered economic growth in local communities and promoted environmentally friendly farming practices. It has also stimulated the creation of networks of solidarity and exchange between producers and consumers, helping to build a fairer and more conscious market.

But also economic sustainability, by stimulating the local economy by supporting small producers and creating jobs in the agricultural and small business sector. It also reduces dependence on large distribution chains, ensuring a more equitable distribution of added value along the food chain.
