Pratiche di viticoltura agroforestale per la resilienza al clima nella regione mediterranea

Integrating trees and shrubs into Mediterranean vineyards enhances climate resilience, improves soil health, and boosts biodiversity. Agroforestry systems reduce erosion, conserve water, and lower irrigation needs. Trees like olives, pines, and oaks sequester carbon, mitigate fire risks, and protect vines from extreme weather. Root systems improve water infiltration, while natural pest control reduces chemical use. These practices support higher-quality grapes, lower alcohol levels, and increased biodiversity. Economic benefits include diversified income from nuts or fruit. Successful models like Domaine Valet in France show organic wine production is viable. EU initiatives such as VINES-CLIV and CAP subsidies promote adoption, supported by digital tools and research. Barriers include knowledge gaps and regulatory hurdles. Scaling requires farmer training, policy alignment, and stakeholder collaboration. Agroforestry offers a sustainable future for Mediterranean viticulture.
