Organic Oregon: an emerging experience in terroir tourism

Abstract

Emerging from anthropology, climatology, ecology, gastronomy, geography and wine tourism, terroir tourism has been recently recognized to have potential for developing rural agriculture tourism in Oregon. However, little research has investigated to determine terroir tourism and its characteristics, differentiating it from wine tourism. This paper investigates potential experiences and characteristics of terroir tourism from the organic vineyard perspective. The extensive literature review on experience economy and wine tourism conducted for this study reveals that terroir has 59 characteristics categorized into four viticulture terroir categories. The findings will help future research to better understand the characteristics of terroir tourism to build theory and constructs for future investigation using the 4E framework. The results will help Oregon further develop rural agriculture tourism based on is apparent terroir tourism characteristics.

Learning from remote sensing data: a case study in the Trentino region 

Recent developments in satellite technology have yielded a substantial volume of data, providing a foundation for various machine learning approaches. These applications, utilizing extensive datasets, offer valuable insights into Earth’s conditions. Examples include climate change analysis, risk and damage assessment, water quality evaluation, and crop monitoring. Our study focuses on exploiting satellite thermal and multispectral imaging, and vegetation indexes, such as NDVI, in conjunction with ground truth information about soil type, land usage (forest, urban, crop cultivation), and irrigation water sources in the Trentino region in North-East of Italy.
