Whether it be a matter of confronting a future with dystopian contours or a present marked by technophobic assaults is, at present, of little interest and, frankly, unless one ventures into predictions of an apotropaic cast, it is perhaps preferable not to go much further than what is humanly possible to experience. At present, what can be experienced has to do, without any polemic intent, with the fact that digital technologies have entered fully into our lives, albeit to differing degrees depending on the geographical contexts considered. The natural consequence— so as to remain in thesi—is that, according to their specific characteristics, such technologies will be increasingly integrated throughout the entire chain of administrative26 action relating to the better management of the value of the water cycle: from the management of physical infrastructures and the quality of the resource, to business processes, data collection and processing, administrative and accounting procedures, including all B2B and B2C relations involved at various levels in the processes of valorisation and use of this common good.27 IV. THE RIGHT TO FOOD AND THE COMMON AGRICULTURAL POLICY: THE LEGAL DIMENSION The right to food has roots in the most remote history. Under a legal point of view, only in the twentieth century a precise configuration of such right at constitutional multilevel legal order took place,28 a “universal” constitutionalisation occurred,29 although, if one looks at positive law – beginning with constitutional charters – very few will be found to enshrine, as such, the right to food.30 The period immediately following the Second World War was characterised 26 For an assessment of public administration developments in the time of Big Data and artificial intelligence, see the commendable studies promoted by the Turin School. In particular, R. Cavallo Perin (ed.), L’amministrazione pubblica con i big data: da Torino un dibattito sull’intelligenza artificiale, Torino, 2021. To which we add more recently R. Cavallo Perin, D. U. Galetta (eds.), Il diritto dell’amministrazione pubblica digitale, Torino, 2025. 27 A true fourth revolution that promises much more than one can imagine, and which, beyond all legitimate concerns, should be promoted and supported, provided one knows how to read it with due phronesis. In support of this posture, read L. Floridi, La quarta rivoluzione, Milano, 217; L. Floridi, Come l’infosfera sta trasformando il mondo, Milano, 2017; M. Serres, Contro i bei tempi andati, Torino, 2018; and last but not least, for a not entirely shared but nonetheless understandable refrain, G. Balbi, L’ultima ideologia.
