Represented by Luís Marcos and Joana Ribeiro, ADVID/ CoLAB VINES&WINES took part in the kick-off meeting of the ECOSPHEREWINES project, which took place on the 12th and 13th of March in Coruña.
The project, co-funded by the Interreg Sudoe programme, involves 13 organisations from Portugal, Spain and France, which have come together with the aim of implementing a network of green infrastructures for the conservation and sustainable management of vineyards located in areas of high ecological value, thus improving their natural capital and biodiversity and increasing their resilience to climate change.
ECOSPHEREWINES will be technically supported by two pilots, located in the south of France and in Spain-Portugal, where a methodology will be implemented to select, calculate and map the most relevant ecosystem services in order to establish future scenarios that facilitate decision-making and enable the transfer and replicability of the solutions tested at international level.
