DEMAIN Vers la transition agro-écologique en viticulture
▶Summary
The need was obvious to the lead partner - the Nouvelle-Aquitaine food agency and the Blanquefort viticultural college: climate change is having a major impact on vineyard management. More than 3,000 hectares have been grubbed up in the Bordeaux region, and there have been episodes of hail, drought and changes in consumption patterns (young people are turning to beer). The direct consequence for agricultural schools is a drop in the number of pupils. The same is true of our European partners, who are experiencing major upheavals in the agricultural sector. In addition, it was important to understand how to act on the ecological transition, what measures to propose, what lessons to teach our students, how to involve them in these new challenges and also how to think about future training. Through exchanges between schools, we also needed to learn how to diversify, adapt and change our production and processing methods. The TOMORROW project was designed to meet this challenge of adapting and adapting our training to meet the demands of tomorrow's wine industry.
▶Objectives
Our aims with this project : - To understand the levels of commitment to agro-ecology in wine education in each of our European partners - To facilitate the exchange of best practice between students and teachers in order to study the measures taken to promote agroecology in viticulture: - Involve European pupils in a common challenge: the agro-ecological transition - Equip pupils with skills in the 3 central themes of agro-ecology: Producing differently by rethinking our production systems, basing them on optimal use of resources and natural mechanisms; - Preserving the resources on which our wine production is based and on which we depend; - Responding to society's legitimate demand for winegrowing to move towards new growth models. (winegrowers and local residents) - Provide teachers with the tools they need to learn how to produce differently. - Enable company representatives to adapt/transfer the practices studied. - Discover the identity and culture of the partner regions. - Work to put in place measures to combat this ecological crisis at our own level.
