Researches and considerations about mountain sustainable viticulture, with the dimension of ‘meta-ethics’
Abstract
Sustainable Viticulture integrates together environmental criteria (soil protection, pollution reduction, local resources, water management and quality…), technical and economic criteria (adaptation of technical choices to the terroir and the market, company profitability, mechanization, new technologies…), and social criteria (sustainability, labor employment, professional education, quality of living…). Mountain Viticulture offers an exceptional potential regarding all those points, but requires to be helped in terms of investment and adapted research. All those points are analyzed, the sustainability quality of the training systems are reminded,the method of the ‘Big Chain’ which allows a jury to give marks to all those elements, is also proposed. This integrated process naturally leads to an opening towards Man and the meaning he gives to his own life; the consensual approach of ‘Meta-Ethics’ is a new way to be considered. The GiESCO appears to be a pioneer on those points.
