Agriculture between constitutional dimension and One Hearth-One Health approach

This paper focuses on the effects that the new emerging vision of the man-nature relationship – from the recent review of the articles 9 and 41 of the Italian Constitution – has generated on the agricultural sector. Within this new perspective, the “rational exploitation of the soil” and the “fair social relations” (ex-art. 44 It. Cost.) become the object of an evolutionary reading prompted by the unavoidable needs of the ecological transition, highlighted by the One Earth-One Health perspective, where the integrated and unifying approach to health safeguard goes along with the importance of an adequate protection of air, water, soil, climate, food and clean energy production. Moreover, some serious criticisms of this irenic framework are not to be underestimated: one above all is the juridical conversion of the One Hearth-One Health approach, because it does not correspond to a One Law. Due to the ever-deepening relationship between natural and human sciences, constitutional law appears to be best suited to overcome the antagonism between environmental requirements and development models in an integrated and “proportionate” perspective.
