Economia agro-alimentare/Food Economy is a peer-reviewed journal published in Italy since 1996, dedicated to the economics of agricultural and food systems. Over the years, it has built a strong international reputation and a wide readership across the agri-food economics community.

•  The journal's content is abstracted and indexed in major international databases, ensuring broad discoverability.
• Articles are promoted to members of the Italian Society of Agri-food Economics (SIEA) through regular email updates, maximising the visibility of published work.
• Each new issue is disseminated through the journal's Facebook and LinkedIn social media channels, as well as through the newsletter of AISSA (Italian Association of the Agricultural Science Societies) and the joint newsletter of three leading Italian scientific societies: SIEA, SIDEA, and CeSET.
• The journal actively supports the visibility of published work beyond the moment of publication. Each time an article receives a new citation, the journal announces it on its social media channels, on both LinkedIn and Facebook, featuring a graphical abstract and a short text summarising the contribution and its scholarly impact. This ongoing promotion ensures that your work continues to reach new audiences long after its initial publication.
• The journal offers a swift publication schedule whilst maintaining rigorous peer review, with a manuscript turnaround time of approximately 4–6 months.
• All submissions are handled online, and peer review is managed fully electronically — yet authors benefit from a constructive editorial process, a collaborative Editorial Board, and engaged, high-quality reviewers.
• Since 2017, and as of May 15, 2026, the journal has evaluated more than 460 manuscripts, with an overall acceptance rate of approximately 30%.

• No fee is required for manuscripts submission and review. 
• Until 2019, there were no publication fees and no charges to authors; published articles are accessible through annual subscription to the journal or individually through the website, with payment based on a pay-per-view model. Authors did not receive a complimentary copy of their own article.
• Starting from 2020, the journal switched to an Open Access model, therefore the authors are required to pay an Article Publication Charge (APC), only in case the manuscript is accepted for publication.
• The Article Publication Charge is currently set to 300 EUR (plus VAT, when due). This amount partially covers the publication cost of the journal incurred by SIEA.
• SIEA members who are in good standing with the payment of the membership fee are exempted from payment of the APC. 

Economia agro-alimentare/Food Economy  is a triannual peer-reviewed scientific journal.

It offers an international forum for the discussion and analysis of mono and interdisciplinary socio-economic, political, cultural, legal and technical issues, related to agricultural and food systems.

It welcomes submissions of original papers focusing on agriculture, food, safety, nutrition and health, including all processes and infrastructure involved in providing food to populations; as well as the processes, inputs and outputs involved in consumption and disposal of food and food-related items.

Analyses also include social, political, economic and environmental contexts and human resource challenges. Submissions should be addressed to an international audience of researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, and they may consider local, national, or global scales.
