According to the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA, 2003), ecosystem services are the benefits people receive from ecosystems.

Studies on climate change impact on the South American Central Andes predict scenarios of reduced river flows and salinity increases downstream of the Mendoza and Tunuyán River basins and indicate that these impacts would lead to a reduction in crop yields.

In the “Campanha” wine region, viticulture occurs under diverse geomorphology, soil and land use.

Organic farming may be one solution to reduce the quantities of pesticides used in viticulture. Various innovative organic practices are required because Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) vineyards are planted in very different soil and climate conditions.

This study reports results concerning the comparison of conventional, organic and biodynamic farming in a Pinot blanc and Rhine Riesling vineyard in Northern Italy.

In the region of the Denomination of Origin (DO) “Vale dos Vinhedos”, Brazil, a study evaluated the effect of the occupation of Permanent Preservation Areas (PPA) in conflict with vineyards in regard to potential erosive soil losses.

Sustainable development in Mendoza’s oases should guarantee water availability in both quantity and quality.

The aim of this study is to explain differences in Malbec wines of Argentinian wine regions.

The aim of this study is to assess the water consumption impact related with grapes production in the wine industry in Mendoza province.

The Uco Valley (Mendoza-Argentina) has undergone important changes in the last 18 years, due to the implantation of large extensions of vineyards with landscape monotonization.

Wine has shown a synergistic effect in a holistic context, and it has been referenced in recent years in several fields such as Medicine which considers it a natural antioxidant.

The quality of grapes and wines depends on the “terroir”, a concept that in the simplest sense refers to the effects of plant material, environmental factors and canopy management.

Grapevines cv. BRS Carmem (Vitis vinifera X V. labrusca) were managed in organic or biodynamic system and compared for the following photosynthetic parameters: CO2 assimilation, Rubisco efficiency, intracellular CO2 concentration, water use efficiency, Transpiration, and Stomatal conductance throughout a day (9, 12 and 17 h) 15 months after planting.

Two terroirs of the Eger Wine District (a steep-sloped and a flat vineyard) were examined in two years in order to describe the changes in the concentration and composition of berry skin/wine anthocyanins of the Kékfrankos variety at different harvest dates and to examine a possible relationship between the extractability of anthocyanin glucosides and terroir/vintage characteristics.

In 2014, the French public authorities launched the agroecological project for France. This project aimed at starting the transition of French agriculture towards new production systems that are more efficient in the economic, social and environmental dimensions.

The Guatambu Winery, located in the heart of Pampa Gaúcho, municipality of Dom Pedrito, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, has small scale wine production, with its own grape production and sustainable practices.

In this study, a 5 ha vineyard planted with annual cover crops was divided into 2 treatments: intensive grazing with lambs (average weight 32 kg) @ 100 animals per ha for 3 days, and an ungrazed control.

Bonarda (Vitis vinifera L.), also known as Corbeau, is the second most cultivated red grape variety after Malbec in Argentina.
