The objective of the work is to verify if there is a correlation between "innovative" production and management strategies both in meat and milk production and selling (in terms of technological innovation, quality controls processes, direct sales, PGI productions and other certification schemes, organic), structural aspects of holdings (size of the farm, herd size, location, etc.) and their economic performances. 101 sheep farms (17% of regional production) was analyzed through structured interviews managed by experienced data collectors (Regional Association of Breeders). The following aspects have been considered: Distribution channels of sheep farming in Abruzzo; Quality control systems; Organic and PGI certification schemes, other private certification schemes; Technological innovation.
