Abstract

In this chapter, we study a coopetitive model for a global green economy taking into account the environmental sustainability. It is now well known that the meat production has begun non–sustainable, from several points of view. The industrial agricultural system (nowadays, the predominant form of agriculture in the USA and increasingly world–wide) — required for the meat and dairy production — determines consequences for public health, owing to: a) its extensive use of fertilizers and pesticides; b) strongly unsustainable use of resources (such as water and fertile soil); c) high environmental pollution. Moreover, a plant–based diet requires only one third of the land needed to support a meat and dairy diet, that means less impact on the resources of our planet, less energy consumption, less water consumption, less pesticides adoption, less pollutants dispersion, less need for land and therefore less deforestation. So, we pay our attention especially to the production of biological–vegan food.We build up a global coopetitive model and finally we find an optimal collaboration strategy profile of the players (countries able or not to produce innovative green technologies and green–oriented products). In this chapter, we offer the complete study of the proposed model and, in particular, we find one possible optimal compromise solution of the coopetitive game.
