\u201cThere is little time for corrective action\u201d was a message from the World Commission on Environment and Development: Our Common Future (1988). \u201cWhile scientists continue to investigate and debate cause and effect, in many cases we know enough to take action. This is true locally and regionally in cases of threats such as: desertification, deforestation, toxic waste and acidification; and it is true globally for threats such as: climate change, depletion of the ozone layer, and species extinction.\u201d <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The objectives of the CAP – Common Agricultural Policy reform define the importance of social, economic, and environmental approaches in order to achieve a sustainable agricultural production system. This means that each EAM (Environmental Action Measure), as defined in the CAP Strategic Plan, must reflect these priorities in the design of its programs. In reviewing these National Strategic Plans for the implementation of the CAP, the European Commission will verify their consistency with the objectives of the European Green Deal and monitor progress towards their achievement. <\/p>

For all these reasons, the definition of sustainability initiatives in the agricultural sector (whether sectoral, regional, or national) is extremely important to ensure the dissemination of practices and to support the differentiation of production in consumer markets. The wine sector, due to its territorial, economic, social, and environmental importance, can lead this \u201cpath\u201d and play its role in achieving sustainability goals. The importance of the issue of sustainability, particularly in the wine sector, has led the OIV – International Organisation of Vine and Wine to lead the discussion on the topic and share definitions, concepts, and operational practices within the sector. <\/p>

This Reference followed Resolution OIV-VITI 641-2020 (Guide for the Implementation of Sustainable Viticulture Principles), which identifies the main challenges facing the wine sector in adapting its approach to sustainability:<\/p><\/div><\/div>
