ECOSPHEREWINES will conserve and manage the vineyard in a sustainable way, promoting biodiversity and increasing its resilience to climate change.
Descripción
The ECOSPHEREWINES project aims to improve wine-growing landscapes, a crucial economic and tourism resource in the SUDOE area affected by depopulation and ageing, where the preservation of natural and environmental capital is vital for rural communities.
The aim of the project is to improve the ecosystem services of agricultural wine-growing landscapes by implementing a green infrastructure (GI) network in areas of high ecological value, seeking to conserve and sustainably manage these landscapes, promoting biodiversity and increasing their resilience to climate change.
Territorial planning based on ecosystem services is effective in urban environments, but there is a lack of specific data for its application in rural areas.
To overcome this challenge, the current state of green infrastructure (GI) at different landscape scales will be analysed, identifying the factors that facilitate or hinder its implementation in wine-growing landscapes.
In addition, a methodology will be designed and tested in two pilots to select, calculate, measure and map the most relevant ecosystem services at different scales, allowing the establishment of future scenarios for the planning of similar wine-growing landscapes, facilitating the transfer and capitalisation of solutions at a transnational level.
The aim is to develop a more global and holistic management that improves biodiversity, the environment and tourism and cultural services in the rural areas of the SUDOE area.

Objetivo: SO 2.7 (...) Protection and preservation of nature / biodiversity / green infrastructure
The elaboration of a Strategy and an Action Plan to implement Green Infrastructure (GI) in vineyards of high ecological value in the SUDOE territory will be carried out. This strategy will serve as a guide for the wine sector and authorities interested in improving ecosystem services (ESS) in vineyards, and will become an inspiring model for other regions. The Action Plan will be key to share the results and benefits of the strategy approach. The strategy and action plan aim to promote sustainability and quality in SUDOE vineyards through IV, building on previous knowledge and sharing lessons learned with the sector and local authorities.

The experimental area of Gaillac, located in Tarn, France, is currently facing a series of challenges. Through the implementation and monitoring of improvement actions in the IV, the aim is to address these challenges, promote biodiversity, preserve cultural heritage, and strengthen the territory's resilience to climate change. Progress is expected towards more sustainable and resilient management of high ecological value vineyards, addressing current challenges and promoting the conservation of the natural and cultural environment.

In the cross-border area of Arribes and Alto Douro, nature-based solutions (NBS) measures to improve IV will be implemented in the vineyards of Bodegas Pascual Fernández in Fermoselle (Zamora) and Bodega Duorum in Foz Côa and the surrounding lands. In the Mariñas - Betanzos area, work will be carried out on plots belonging to Bodega Pagos de Brigante. In all these areas, the project aims to address agricultural and environmental challenges while promoting biodiversity and the conservation of natural and cultural heritage, contributing to climate change resilience and preventing depopulation.
