The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Approaches to More Efficient Vineyard Management

HortScience, 1985
Abstract Grapevines are not free standing and therefore must be provided with a support system to produce an economically commercial crop. Grapes traditionally have been trained and modified to provide a support system for production, but these systems have not necessarily been well-suited to mechanization. Currently, there is a major

Same Practices, Different Outcomes: Gender Gaps in Organic Certification

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines gender differences in organic certification among Hungarian wineries and asks whether they reflect observable differences in sustainability engagement, organizational capabilities, and structural characteristics, or differences in how similar profiles translate into certified status.

Toward a Vineyard Model for Low-Alcohol Wines: Severe Shoot Trimming Drastically Reduces Grape Sugar Concentration

Horticulturae
The increasing demand for low-alcohol wine products calls for effective vineyard strategies to reduce grape sugar concentration, while climate change is exacerbating sugar accumulation through warmer growing conditions.

Spraying drones: efficacy of integrating an avian repellent with drone hazing to elicit blackbird flock dispersal and abandonment of sunflower fields

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Multiple management strategies exist to combat bird damage to agriculture. We explored combining two tools, drones as frightening devices and an avian repellent, to assess effectiveness of an integrated method to deter large flocks on complex landscapes. We evaluated the ability of a spraying drone (DJI Agras MG‐1P) deploying Avian Control (i.e. active

Home range shifts and habitat selection across life‐history stages in grey partridges

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how birds use space throughout the year is essential for effective conservation planning, even in resident species. We investigated seasonal space use in a Central European population of grey partridges Perdix perdix, a rapidly declining residential farmland bird.

Multi‐Vine Disease Prediction in a Field Test Spanning Whole Growth Season at Wine‐Industrial Site (McLaren Vale)

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.
Overall, the findings provide reliable evidence for block‐level disease early warning, inspection prioritisation, and spray decision‐making, helping to reduce unnecessary inputs, lower environmental burdens, and improve the resilience and sustainability of vineyard production systems.

Grazing‐incidence scattering surveyed: towards reference methods for alignment and calibration

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
With the recent gain in popularity of grazing‐incidence instruments, harmonization is needed to establish intercomparability. This review of existing instruments and methods highlights the diversity of approaches in the community and is a first step towards reference methods.Grazing‐incidence small‐angle scattering (GISAS) is a relatively young ...

Agricultural Vulnerability Assessment: Climate and Non‐Climate Interactions in Crop Production Systems

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent climate phenomena show that Spain is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change impacts, with varied regional effects from flash floods to drought. This study assesses the vulnerability of four major crops (cereal, rice, grape and olive) in Catalonia to climate change through a comprehensive vulnerability index incorporating

Toasting With Strangers? Export Spillovers From Chinese Winery Acquisitions in the Bordeaux Vineyards

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Foreign entrants may threaten and, at the same time, present local companies with opportunities for favourable spillovers. Building on the awareness‐motivation‐capability framework, this paper aims to provide empirical evidence for a positive co‐location or spatial proximity effect of foreign presence on local peer companies’ exports.
