in Italian viticulture
The project
VIVAIn 2011, the Ministry of the Environment and the Protection of the Territory and the Sea launched the national project VIVA “Sustainability in viticulture in Italy”, which aims to improve the sustainability performance of the entire wine chain through the analysis of four scientifically recognized indicators developed on the basis of international standards and regulations:
Thanks to the experience gained and a continuous dialogue with the numerous companies that adhere to the project, in 2016 the new VIVA 2.0 specifications were published. This methodological evolution has made the application of the VIVA method simpler and more effective, increasing the usability for all operators in the sector. Through synergistic activities with the national wine industry, specific training actions and the promotion of dialogue with associations and stakeholders, VIVA wants to promote a coordinated approach, which can allow the dissemination of the culture of sustainability at national and international level.
