Driving a paradigm shift in vineyard management in Spain to fight against climate change and at the same time regenerate soil, curb erosion and promote biodiversity. This is the main goal of the Regenerative Viticulture Association, which has been established today in Barcelona and seeks to become a meeting place for sharing information, knowledge and experiences based around holistic management and regenerative agriculture.

Behind this association are five family wineries and businesses from different regions, all of which are committed to sustainability and preserving the planet: Familia Torres, Clos Mogador, Can Feixes and Jean Leon, together with the agricultural consultancy AgroAssessor.

It aims to get other vine-growers, farmers, winemakers, educators, researchers and businesses involved in its cause to expand this agricultural model, which is based on the carbon cycle and the only one that is proposed as a solution to check global warming.

最终，再生葡萄栽培是一种旨在通过模仿性质恢复土壤中生命的模型。土壤的活力越活，捕获大气二氧化碳并有助于减缓温度升高的能力就越大。

In turn, the accumulation of organic carbon in vineyard soil will help to improve the health of this soil, increase its resistance to erosion and its capacity to cope with drought as it will retain water better, and it will also encourage biodiversity, creating a balanced ecosystem that benefits both the vineyard and the planet.

该协会的椅子是来自第五代家族托雷斯的米格尔·托雷斯（Miguel Torres），而农产品的创始人弗朗西斯（Francesc）是副主席。其他董事会成员是克里斯蒂安·巴比尔（Christian Barbier），近距离Mogador的葡萄栽培负责人；Can Feixes的共同所有人Joan Huguet；以及让·莱昂（Jean Leon）的董事Mireia Torres。财务主管的角色由农业评估伙伴爱德华·穆萨赫（Eduard Muixach）和秘书是家族托雷斯·托雷斯（Familia Torres Torres）酿酒师蒙特·卡托斯（MontseCacusús）担任。

“This association’s raison d’être is to spread and share knowledge and experiences,” Miguel Torres explained.

“我们必须撇开某些恐惧和文化的学习，并有勇气踏上再生葡萄栽培的道路，以将葡萄园变成大碳汇，因为这是唯一在当前背景下有意义的葡萄园模型。”

为了解释和促进再生实践，新协会计划组织研讨会和研讨会，以及针对成员特殊条件的教育计划，他们还可以与其他成员访问一个永久性的讨论论坛，在那里他们可以在其中交流经验和知识几乎。

Members also have the opportunity to take part in field trips and will regularly receive information and articles of interest about regenerative viticulture.

“We want the association to be a space where people with similar concerns come together and can share their experiences, as regenerative agriculture doesn’t have a manual that will fit all cases, but is instead based on experimentation. That’s why it’s important for us to learn from one another and share this knowledge to move forward,” Francesc Font said.

The association is open to any person, business or entity interested in regenerative viticulture, anywhere in Spain.
