Part 1. Evaluation of the overall performance of winegrowing systems in the Bordeaux region and of agroecological transition scenarios (Background and Methodology)

Abstract

The agroecological transition is an essential issue for vineyards, given the high pressure surrounding the use of pesticides to protect the crop. Major changes are required in winegrowing systems in order to achieve sharp reductions in the use of these inputs. With the aim of providing technical and practical benchmarks on the performance of agroecological systems, we have built and evaluated scenarios using multiple-criteria decision analysis.
