Aux nombreuses qualités du projet Laccave souvent soulignées — générateur de résultats de recherche, fédérateur d’équipes, animateur de réseau, outil de dialogue stratégique avec la profession sur base de prospective —, il faut ajouter la construction de nouvelles capacités afin d’aborder le changement climatique dans les formations, et notamment d...
Since the context on environmental issues is challenging, the Cognac protected denomination of origin (PDO) adopted life cycle assessment (LCA) to inform its environmental strategy, initially focusing on vineyard soil management. This study developed a participatory eco-design approach involving stakeholders to inform the PDOs’ strategy for transit...
Viticulture needs to satisfy consumers' demands for environmentally sound grape and wine production while envisaging adaptation options to diminish the impacts of projected climate change on future productivity. However, the impact of climate change and the adoption of adaptation levers on the environmental impacts of future viticulture have not be...
In the frame of the AVATEC research project, models for calculating nitrate emissions were compared to determine those that combine the best consideration of soil management and fertilisation practices, accuracy, and availability of entry data for use in LCAs evaluations for eco-design of viticulture, especially with the Vit'LCA tool for LCA calcul...
Purpose
Current field emission modelling and toxicity characterisation of pesticides suffer from several shortcomings like mismatches between LCI databases and LCIA methods, missing characterisation factors, missing environmental compartments, and environmental impact pathways. The OLCA-Pest project was implemented to address these aspects and to o...
There is an urgent need for agriculture in general, and for viticulture in particular, to reduce their impacts on the environment. Doing so requires an approach that supports transitioning to more environmentally friendly practices. Involving farmers and agricultural advisors is key to lifting technical, economic, and social barriers to this transi...
Environmental data on organic products are needed to assess their environmental performance. The purpose of the ACV Bio project reported here was to generate environmental data as life cycle assessment (LCA) data for a sample of French organic production systems including cropping systems (annual crops, intercrops, forages), grassland, wine grapes,...
Increased consumer concern for the environment has motivated winegrowers to adopt more environmentally friendly practices in their vineyards, such as agroecological measures. Thanks to a 2016 French ministerial decree, these measures can now be included in the specifications of wine appellations. However, little is known about consumer perceptions...
Ground cover management (GCM) is an important agricultural practice used to reduce weed growth, erosion and runoff, and improve soil fertility. In the present study, an approach to account for GCM is proposed in the modeling of pesticide emissions to evaluate the environmental sustainability of agricultural practices. As a starting point, we includ...
Aims. The present study aims to model grape quality criteria by combining a large number of viticultural practices and soil and climate variables related to the main determinants.
Methods and results. A database has been developed using the Chenin Blanc grape variety in a Protected Designation of Origin. A statistical model, namely a Partial Least...
Purpose
The paper shows how three tools based on life cycle assessment (LCA) were created for an eco-design approach in viticulture, how these tools contributed to the reduction of environmental impacts of technical management routes (TMR), and how they have been used in real-life conditions during workshops organized with two different groups of w...
Purpose
Consumer demand and state incentives in certain EU countries are driving the rapid development of organic viticulture. However, compared with conventional viticulture, it has shown higher interannual variability in its environmental impacts. Improved understanding of this variability would help organic winegrowers better address their envir...
Purpose
Improving the environmental performances of viticulture practices is particularly complicated during unfavorable climatic conditions because of the need for fungal and other pest pressure and the variability of phytosanitary control methods available for winegrowers. However, winegrowers wish to improve the environmental performances of the...
Contexte : La viticulture est très exigeante en intrants. La viticulture biologique est souvent considérée comme un système durable, mais elle a des impacts environnementaux. L'analyse du cycle de vie (ACV) permet de discriminer les itinéraires viticoles. Objectif : Notre article présente et discute l'intérêt de l'ACV pour évaluer, comparer et amél...
Transitioning towards more environmentally friendly agriculture starts with change of practices at plot level, while strategic decisions are taken at farm level. Implementing eco-design in agriculture requires therefore reasoning at both plot and farm levels. Collecting detailed data for each farm plot is, however, a daunting and time-consuming tas...
Quality viticulture faces the double challenge of agroecologic transition and protection of product quality. The eco-quali-conception © approach proposes a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)-based design of vineyard technical management routes 1 (TMRs), which also accounts for grape quality. As a multicriteria environmental assessment method, LCA consider...
Ce numéro comprend les articles correspondant aux présentations du Colloque Casdar 2018.
Greater use of life cycle assessment (LCA) by agents of change will be needed to inform environmental improvements in agriculture, but the complexity of LCA can be a barrier. More accessible LCA tools customised for agriculture are emerging, but their effectiveness has not been considered. The aim of the work was to understand how tool features inf...
L’évolution des itinéraires techniques viticoles (ITKv) vers un plus grand respect de l’environnement passe par une évaluation de leurs performances environnementales. Dans un contexte de gestion durable, plusieurs autres facteurs sont à prendre en compte, notamment le risque de modification de la qualité des raisins issus de ces ITKv. Les résultat...
Objective: In the context of protected designation of origin (PDO) wine production, wine organoleptic quality, and hence grape quality is a key target of vineyard management. LCA-based Improvement of Technical Management Routes 1 (TMR) by choice of more environmentally friendly techniques needs to take into account this quality dimension in additio...
Aims: Using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), this study aims to compare the environmental impacts of two different viticultural technical management routes (TMRs); integrated and organic) and to identify the operations that contribute the most to the impacts.
Methods and results: LCA impact scores were expressed in two functional units: 1 ha of culti...
The impact of 'terroir' on wine characteristics is well known. However, few studies evaluate the combinations of 'terroir' factors and the link with the sensory characteristics of the products to identify and to explain the origin of differentiated qualities. In this study, the methodology of Renaud-Gentié et al. (2014) was implemented in the Middl...
