In Douro Demarcated Region (DDR), the European Grapevine Moth (EGVM) is a key pest of commercial vineyards.

To preserve biodiversity in vineyards, a change towards sustainable wine growing practices seems essential. The extensive management of ecological infrastructures in viticulture landscapes and integrated farming practices appear as the main objectives in order to “halt the decline of biodiversity by 2050”.

Biodiversity conservation appears today as one of the main environmental issues, at the same level as energy consumption or global climate change.

Gramona Cellar is a family business located in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, in Spanish Catalonia. In 2001, they build a new cave because the old building had been gradually found in urban areas.

This paper focuses the landscape literary representation, an important asset in tourism development. Two literary itineraries are supported by excerpts from two outstanding 20th Century novels (Porto Manso, 1946 and Horizonte Cerrado, 1949) written by Alves Redol, a remarkable neorealist Portuguese writer.

The successful establishment of commercial vineyards requires high capital inputs. Together with annual production costs, profitable production of grapes for the production of juice, distilled and rebate wine is nearly impossible, even in traditional high production regions of South Africa.

Within the Europe 2020 agenda and Horizon program (a financial instrument aimed at securing Europe’s global competitiveness), the European Union defined the characteristics of future development within the continent.

Recently, organic and biodynamic viticultural practices have received much attention, especially by premium grape growers worldwide.

This study deals with the changes observed in the first year of conversion to organic and biodynamic cultivation in a vineyard growing Rhine Riesling and Pinot blanc grafted onto SO4 and trained using the simple pergola system in a hilly area in Trentino (Italy).

In this study we examined the benefits of green cover for water protection in new established vineyards but also the possible competition of the green cover with the young vine plants.

GEA.vite was born in 2008 with the aim of creating a self-assessment system that would enable wine companies to monitor and quantify their level of efficiency and sustainability.

L’objectif de ces activités et recherches d’innovation était de conserver ou d’augmenter les emplois de main-d’œuvre et des autres ressources, ainsi que les coûts, tout en sauvegardant ou augmentant un profit équitable et soutenable pour l’entreprise, pour la société, pour le territoire et pour l’entière filière.

The objective of this third body of research was to conserve or increase the use of labor and other resources while guarantying a just profit for the enterprise, society and the entire chain.

Ces recherches originales, en partant des ultérieurs approfondissements sur la «Grande Filière MétaÉthique» et en particulier sur l’éthique et sur la «MétaÉthique» d’après la «Grande Filière MétaÉthique» du “Conegliano Campus”

Nous avons pensé qu’il était important de publier maintenant, et de cette façon, un travail très récapitulative sur l’activité par nous menées avec d’autres collègues (Carbonneau, De Castro, Intrieri, Murisier, Queiroz, Triacca) depuis 25 ans pour créer, décrire, encoder, d’évaluer

Ce travail mettra en évidence que la “Grande Filière ” du “Conegliano Campus” a représenté et représente le premier “Grand” et déterminant pas en avant, (“Grand” d’après la “Grande Filière MétaÉthique du Conegliano Campus”), vers l’enjeu réel important et fondamental pour le “Grand” futur

Land use and land cover may deeply influence the environmental quality and agriculture, in particular, can represent an important ‘carbon sink’ systems, alternative to forestry.

The estimation of the carbon footprint of vineyards requires an adequate knowledge on which is the annual production of biomass in the vineyard and on its allocation among the vine structures.

A study was undertaken to quantify the importance of postharvest carbon assimilation on replenishment of CHO reserves of high-yielding Sauvignon blanc vines.

On the second year of the European project LIFE+ “BioDiVine Demonstrating functional biodiversity in viticulture landscapes”, ADVID, in charge for is implementation in Alto Douro Vinhateiro (UNESCO classified area in the Douro Valley, Portugal),
