Description
The Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in northern Italy's Piedmont region, showcases three distinct wine-growing areas: the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato regions. Characterized by picturesque landscapes, rolling hills, and terraced vineyards interspersed with historic towns, this region embodies centuries of human interaction with the land and traditional agricultural practices. Amidst its beauty, digital interpretation offers a pathway towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, which seeks to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns worldwide. Through interactive websites and virtual tours these tools can enlighten visitors about sustainable agriculture, organic farming practices, and biodiversity conservation within the vineyard landscape. They promote responsible consumption by advocating for support of local, sustainable food systems and reducing food waste. However, the region faces notable climate threats such as extreme weather events and changing precipitation patterns, which can impact grape cultivation, vineyard management, and ecosystem health. These climate challenges highlight the importance of Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action. Digital interpretation holds the potential to address these challenges by disseminating information on climate-resilient farming practices, water management strategies, and sustainable land-use techniques. By raising awareness about climate change impacts and inspiring collective action, virtual platforms can contribute to the sustainable management and preservation of this cultural and natural heritage site.
