Summary

Learn about the main sources of emissions in viticulture and ways to reduce them.

EPrint Type:	Practice tool
Teaser:	Best practices for low-emission viticulture.
What problem does the tool address?:	In 2021, the EU adopted its first European climate law as part of the European Green Deal. This law set Europe’s climate neutrality targets for 2050, as well as a target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55% by 2030, compared to 1990. Following the Climate Act, in February 2024 the Commission also recommended an additional intermediate target of reducing emissions by 90% by 2040, thus confirming the direction taken. Work carried out in France by the French Wine and Vine Institute (IFV) shows that the wine industry footprint is structured as follows: packaging accounts for 40% to 50% of emissions; viticulture 15% to 20%; transport 15% to 20%; vinification around 10% (IFV, unpublished)
What solution does the tool offer?:	The aim of this strategic vision is to achieve an economy with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. How can the wine sector become part of this carbon-neutral approach? What are the main methods within crop management practices to reduce the carbon footprint of vine growing? This didactical sheet will outline some of the answers.
