The research began with the study "Analysis of the structural
efficiency of livestock production" (National Academy of
Agriculture) (1979-1983), continued on areas relating to the
economy of the farm and the livestock in particular.
Carries out studies on the quota system of milk production in
several years.
She created and coordinated a study funded by the Consorzio del
Formaggio Parmigiano-Reggiano to build in the simulation model of a
dairy farm (1992-1994).
In the study of the simulation models realizes a model for the
simulation in the use of the milking robot (1995-1996).
For the Consortium of Parmigiano Reggiano develops the methodology
for calculating the price differential of milk. (1995).
He is the coordinator of a three-year study in an agreement between
the university and the AIA (Italian Breeders Association) to carry
out the project called IDEA (identification of the Evolutionary
Dynamics of Herds).
The project CAPRI (Common Agricultural Policy Regional Impact)
develops a relational database for managing and processing all the
statistical data collected at the regional level, the database
created initially for only for Italy was subsequently
developed for
all EU countries. (1996-1998)
Commissioned by the AIA develop an analytical procedure for
calculating the cost of milk production using both periodic surveys
on functional checks, and surveys carried out during company
visits.
The result of this research was formalized by the creation of a
version of the procedure COGEIZOO (Animal Control Management of
enterprises) in particular has developed a DSS (Decision Support
System) for dairy herds.
AIMA is awarded a contract to develop a system for monitoring the
activities specified by the "Plan for Quality Meat."
In order to implement such monitoring was carried out both a PERT
network model is a relational database. (1998-2002).
Consortium for Plant Protection of Reggio Emilia prepares the data
collection company for a "census" wine in order to check the spread
of the Golden Flavescence in the province of Reggio Emilia and
builds a forecasting model for the quantification of damages
related to the disease. (2002-2006).
He is responsible for the operational unit of the project DIPROVAL
SIPEAA (Information Systems for Planning Eco-compatible use of
farms) funded by MiPA, in particular deals with the creation of a
module using economic simulation results for the individual
agricultural activities at the company level can provide economic
information to guide business decisions (2003-2006).
He is interested in issues relating to systems for management of
traceability in the supply chains of hard cheese, Parmigiano
Reggiano and Grana Padano (2007-2009).
Read the study and research on "milk quotas" (2010).
Coordinates the working group for the dairy industry for the
research "Forecasting and risk analysis in food commodity markets"
FoodCAST funded by ISMEA (2012)
