Implementing organic farming in vineyards

Conversion to organic farming can require deep technical changes that can be implemented through various pathways. This study aimed to better understand and characterize the various pathways that can be followed during conversion to organic farming. Our results highlight four types of trajectories of technical changes that depend on the number and type of technical changes implemented. These trajectories have been associated with four strategies on equipment, labor and vineyard area. Finally, we claim that the study developed herein can support the further understanding of the strategies to be applied for successful agroecological transitions.
