本文利用一个独特的数据集的人口在线食品供应服务，揭示了在意大利背景下的食品电子商务的组织。在管道和平台之间的对立的基础上，我们提出了每种商业模式中不同形式的组织的分类，并研究它们之间的差异。因此，我们专注于食品平台，讨论这种新的商业模式可能对生产者和消费者产生的影响。我们强调需要进一步关注的三个关键领域。首先，鉴于欧盟的监管框架，我们讨论了对消费者保护的潜在影响;其次，我们反思了平台模式的潜在成功可能改变生产者和平台所有者之间的劳动力市场关系的方式;第三，我们指出了平台与替代食品网络（AFN）的差异和相似之处。在结论中，我们反思了未来的研究发展，以及鉴于COVID 19造成的破坏，在线杂货店购物可能采取的可能轨迹。
This paper makes use of a unique dataset on the population of online food provisioning services to shed light on the organization of the food e-commerce in the Italian context. Building on the opposition between pipelines and platforms, we propose a categorization of the different forms of organization within each business model and examine how they differ. Hence, we concentrate on food platforms to discuss the implications this new business model may have for both producers and consumers. We highlight three critical areas that warrant further attention. First, in view of the EU regulatory framework, we discuss the potential implications for consumer protection; second, we reflect on the ways the potential success of the platform model could change labour market relations between producers and platform owners; third, we point out the differences and similarities platforms have with alternative food networks (AFNs). In the conclusion, we reflect on future research developments and on the possible trajectories that online grocery shopping could take in light of the disruption caused by COVID19.
