Beskrivning
This transdisciplinary book explores the potential benefits and challenges of implementing nature-based solutions in vineyards across a range of European countries.Most agricultural landscapes, including vineyards, have abandoned their traditional management practices, making them vulnerable to climate extremities, biologically impoverished and highly susceptible to pests and diseases. There is now a growing awareness among wine producers and consumers about the importance of managing vineyards sustainably through nature-based solutions. This volume analyses work done in vineyards across a range of European countries, including Italy, Switzerland, Spain, France and Portugal, and further examines the potential of sustainable nature-based solutions in improving ecosystem health, while prioritizing wine quality and social and economic gains. Drawing on the experiences of scientists from varied backgrounds, including natural and social scientists, vineyard managers, wine producers and environmental agencies working in vineyard landscapes, chapters present evidence-based research results demonstrating the environmental, social and economic effectiveness of nature-based solutions implemented through a range of bio-based approaches, including organic, biodynamic and regenerative farming approaches. This volume delves into the transformative potential of nature-based solutions, presenting novel pathways, applications, evidence-based cases and experiential assessments of nature-based solutions in different agroecological settings.This book will be of great interest to students, scholars and professionals working on nature-based solutions, agriculture, viticulture and environmental management more broadly.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

'Viticulture connects pleasure with nature. This book presents a range of practical, real-world ways to implement nature-based solutions for better winemaking, providing a valuable tool to support policies that promote more sustainable production and improved biodiversity conservation, while also enhancing people’s enjoyment.'Marc Vilahur Chiaraviglio, Director General de Polítiques Ambientals i Medi Natural, Generalitat de Catalunya'This book offers a profound analysis of the causes and effects of climate change, featuring precise observations and firsthand accounts from diverse environments. It serves as an essential guide for approaching viticulture with a contemporary focus, aimed at tackling the new environmental challenges we face, while preserving territorial identity and maintaining its inherent suitability for winegrowing.'President of Consortium Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe Dogliani, Piedmonte, Italy'Vineyards and wine production are a perfect example of the interplay between nature, culture, and the economy. For centuries, we have nurtured and developed this activity, adapting it to social, economic, and natural changes.The work is not concluded, and we have to continuously adapt to an evolving environment and to new challenges. An approach based on the concept of nature-based solutions encourages a proper and balanced consideration of all aspects.The collection of experiences and research examples from viticulture around the world on best practices for biodiversity in vineyards, presented in this book, demonstrates that this work is underway in many countries and makes for excellent reading for both those who love vineyards and wine and nature lovers.'Dr. Bruno Oberle, President of World Resources Forum Association, State Secretary of Environment, Switzerland.
