Genetic diversity and population structure of Cynara cardunculus L. in southern...

Cynara cardunculus L. is a cardoon species native to the Mediterranean region, which is composed of three botanical taxa, each having distinct biological characteristics. The aim of this study was to examine wild populations of C. cardunculus established in Portugal, in order to determine their genetic diversity, geographic distribution, and population structure. Based on SSR markers, 121 individuals of C. card...

Water footprint sustainability as a tool to address climate change in the wine ...

Solos e Água: fontes (esgotáveis) de vida e de desenvolvimento.

Após ‘2015 - Ano Internacional dos Solos’, os objectivos da Agenda 2030 para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável mantêm bem presente o vínculo entre os recursos solo e água e alguns desses grandes desafios para os próximos 15 anos. Erradicar a fome, assegurar a disponibilidade e a gestão sustentável da água para todos, combater as alterações climáticas, combater a desertificação, restaurar a terra e os solos degradad...

Water footprint sustainability as a tool to address climate change in the wine ...

In the Mediterranean region, climate change is likely to generate an increase in water demand and the deterioration of its quality. The adoption of precision viticulture and the best available techniques aiming at sustainable production, minimizing the impact on natural resources and reducing production costs, has therefore been a goal of winegrowers. In this work, the water footprint (WFP) in the wine sector w...

Pegada hídrica – um contributo para a sustentabilidade da fileira vitivinícola

A escassez de água e o aumento da temperatura decorrente das alterações climáticas têm vindo a levantar preocupações junto do sector vitivinícola, devido ao seu impacto na produção e qualidade do vinho. O uso eficiente dos recursos naturais e a subsequente redução dos custos de produção é hoje um dos objetivos dos vitivinicultores. O projeto WineWaterFootprint avaliou a pegada hídrica na fileira vitivinícola, a...

Life cycle environmental impacts of vineyard in the south Portugal

Agricultural activities have multiple negative impacts on the environment. In the wine sector, several studies have used the life cycle approach to identify and measure these environmental impacts. The main aim of this study was to determine the environmental impact of two vineyards located in southern Portugal, considering 1 kg of grape yield, using the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology (ISO 14040). The ...

Avaliação dos impactes ambientais da produção de vinho na região sul de Portugal

Em Portugal, o sector dos vinhos apresenta um elevado volume de negócios e de valor acrescentado, representando mais de 80%, em número, da indústria de bebidas do país. Nas últimas décadas, além dos esforços desenvolvidos para melhorar a qualidade do produto, os vários intervenientes têm demonstrado uma enorme preocupação relativamente à melhoria da sustentabilidade do setor. O presente estudo teve por objetivo...

Water footprint of a wine bottle from the southern region of Portugal by using ...

The Water Footprint (WF) is currently the best tool to assess the amount of freshwater that is needed to produce a certain amount of product or service, by incorporating not only direct water uses, but also indirect water use and waste production. The main objective of this research was to calculate the WF of a common 0.75 L wine glass bottle, produced in the southern region of Portugal, by using a Life Cycle A...
