A new path for sustainable development. First results in a Venetian “bio-métaéthique company“ (Italy)

Abstract

This paper will show the results of changes in income in a Veneto winery located in the municipality of Motta di Livenza (Treviso) in the North East of Italy, determined by the application of the “Holistic Universal Sustainability Charter” Metaethic 4.1CC “or” Sustainability Charter BIO-MétaÉthique 4.1CC “of GiESCO (Carbonneau, Cargnello, 2017).

These activities allowed the realization and subsequently to certify “Company BIO-MétaÉthique 4.1CC” according to the new, innovative, revolutionary “Direct Certification and Warranty of Sustainability 4.1CC” (Cargnello, Carbonneau, 2018).

Total cost of production and the “Gross Seleable Product” (GSP) of the uncertified grapes and wine “BIO-MétaÉtique 4.1CC” with those certified “BIO – MétaÉtique 4.1CC ” were compared.

The application of the “Sustainable Holistic Universal Metaethic Charter 4.1CC” or “Sustainability BIO-MétaÉthique 4.1CC” of GiESCO and the related ” Direct Certification and Warranty of Sustainability 4.1CC ” resulted in an increase in the net profit for the company between 16 and 25%.

This change in profit for the company id due to the containment of the production cost obtained above all in the vineyard by the rationalization of the management of the soil, the plant and the phytosanitary treatments and the increase in the price of certified “BIO-MétaÉtique 4.1CC bottle compared to the non-certified one.

These results will be verified with further observations in the international markets.

How artificial intelligence (AI) is helping winegrowers to deal with adversity from climate change

Artificial intelligence (AI) for winegrowers refers to robotics, smart sensor technology, and machine learning applied to solve climate change problems. Our research group has developed novel technology based on AI in the vineyard to monitor vineyard growth using computer vision analysis (VitiCanopy App) and grape maturity based on berry cell death to predict flavor and aroma profiles of berries and final wines.
