The Project Partner Name is a partner and work package leader (for partners that are WP leaders) in the project ECOVINEGOALS (ECOlogical VINEyards GOvernance Activities for Landscape Strategies) funded by the INTERREG V-B Adriatic-Ionian (ADRION) Programme 2014-2020. Viticulture constitutes one of the most important economic sectors of the ADRION region, exerting a major impact on territorial capital and regional resources. ECOVINEGOALS promotes sustainability and resilience in the winemaking industry by encouraging the transition of intensive viticulture towards agroecological management systems that protect natural habitats and landscapes, and reduces chemical and fossil fuel inputs and harmful emissions. The project also aims to enhance stakeholder skills in participatory local governance, to strengthen transnational cooperation and provide specific transnational instruments to promote, support and manage the agroecological transition. Together, these actions will address environmental vulnerability, promote ecosystem services, act to prevent social conflicts in land use and mitigate climate change.
