Korzyści zewnętrzne prowadzenia zrównoważonych winnic w Polsce w warunkach zmian klimatu

Abstract

<jats:p>The research aimed to determine the types of external benefits associated with running the vineyard in accordance to with the principles of sustainable production, and then, based on conclusions from the assessment of the development of vineyards growing in Poland under climate change conditions, to examine consumer opinions on their willingness to pay for wine originating from crops that generate positive externalities. It was found that the cultivation of grapes in a sustainable manner is characterized by the existence of external benefits. These benefits result from the local character of public goods, which include primarily the ecosystem described as terroir and related elements such as biodiversity and landscape. They interact in a synergistic way to other external social benefits, such as tourist attractiveness or cultural heritage. It has been shown that viticulture for wine and wine production in Poland is growing rapidly, and climate change will affect further potential development opportunities for this sector. The surveyed consumers pointed out that the wine attributes such as the organic way of production or practices responding to climate change are important for them. For the most part, they are willing to pay for it more than for features related to other external benefits, i.e. biodiversity or landscape. It is argued, that orientation of Polish vineyards to produce in a way that generates external benefits, ie. organically, will allow to take advantage of the network effect which may translate into the desire of consumers to pay a higher price for wine.</jats:p>

Thermal Conditions for Viticulture in Poland

“…Apart from the dynamically increasing grapevine cultivation area in Poland (more than 1 ha), there is an increasing trend in the number of small vineyards (less than 1 ha), often located in agro-tourism farms [5,22,40,67]. Most vineyards are located in Podkarpackie and Małopolskie voivodeships, followed by Lubuskie, Lubelskie, Dolnośląskie andŚwiętokrzyskie voivodeships [40].…”

“…What is more, the geographical division, useful in terms of grapevine cultivation, into units of viticulture does not apply to Poland [2,3]. There is only the division of Poland into three regions with respect to thermal conditions-from favourable, through areas at risk from winter, to the regions where cultivation is impossible or very difficult [21,22].…”

“…The climate, just like the selection of a suitable variety, is one of the key factors affecting grape production as well as the kind and quality of the produced wine. Air temperature is considered the most important climate criterion affecting the growth and development of grapevines [19,20,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. What is more, according to Santos et al [28], Jones et al [29], Keller [30], and Clingeleffer [31], it is the air temperature during the vegetative period in the cultivation year that shows a greater influence on a given wine vintage (composition of grapes, quality of wine) than cultivation practices.…”

Bioeconomy for sustainable development in Nigeria: Lessons from international experiences

“…The way bioeconomy is defined is however important due to the fact that methods and components of its definition are directly reflected in the policies, programmes, and strategies of economic development (8).…”

Agroclimatic Indicators for Grapevines in the Zielona Góra Wine Region (Poland) in the Era of Advancing Global Warming

“…Currently, interest in wine and vineyard management is increasing in Poland. Each year sees a growing number of farms cultivating grapevines and an increase in cultivation area [8][9][10] primarily due to climate warming. However, it is essential to remember that, alongside climatic conditions, habitat conditions play an incredibly significant role in vineyard management [5], and the quality and quantity of wine produced are influenced by the "terroir" [11].…”
