Best practice examples

From two to sixteen hectares and from conventional to biodynamic farming - with great success. That was already impressive, as Eric Riffel led the meeting of the BDO area group Rheinhessen-Nahe-Mittelrhein through his winery and in the biodynamically managed vineyards on Binger Scharlachberg.

As part of a nationwide project called "Energy Efficiency in Agriculture", Bernhard Degünther (DLR Rheinhessen-Nahe-Hunsrück, Oppenheim) presented the Jung-Knobloch winery in Albig to interested visitors as a beacon for energy efficiency in viticulture and proved it with impressive figures.

In an exemplary land consolidation project, the interaction of nature conservation and economic interests of the participating winegrowing enterprises was exemplary implemented in the Gundersheimer Höllenbrand - Germany's largest breeding region for the wheatear - in a mutual reconciliation of interests.
